For fans of the High Potential television show, did you know...
...it isn't original? It isn't close to be original.
I stumbled across HPI last night, and watched the pilot. Other than the language (this was the English language dubbed version) and location, it was practically identical from the initial cleaning scene, to the supermarket scene, to the first crime they investigated.
I am so disappointed, since I thought High Potential was an original show.

I think it's "Doc" and "Memory of a Killer" who do this as well.**

I agree. Across the board the US version has a more attractive cast.**
