🕵️‍♀️ HPI: Haut Potentiel Intellectuel (or HIP High Intellectual Potential here in the States) is a massive hit—but is it actually good?

This French crime dramedy has over 280 million views across 105 countries and is now getting an American remake. But does it live up to the hype, or is this just another international show that Hollywood is trying to cash in on?

In our latest episode, we discuss:

🕵️‍♂️ Watson (2024)—a fresh take on Sherlock’s legendary sidekick, or just House with a different name?

The new CBS show Watson follows Dr. John Watson as he tackles medical mysteries in a post-Sherlock world. But does this spin on the classic detective story actually work? Or does it just feel like a weird Sherlock Holmes x Grey’s Anatomy crossover?

We debate:
🔎 Does Watson work as a lead character without Sherlock Holmes?
🏥 Why does this show feel eerily similar to House?
🤨 Randall Park as Moriarty—brilliant casting or total misfire?
📺 Is this worth watching, or is it an easy skip?

📖 Bridget Jones’s Diary—a beloved rom-com… with a big body-shaming problem.
