Critics Consensus

With the ineffable Kaitlin Olson on hand to inject some spiky personality into a familiar formula, High Potential is a solid procedural with plenty of upside.

Kelly Lawler USA Today "Potential" feels fun because it is fun, taking copious notes from sunny cop shows. Rated: 3/4 Oct 2, 2024 Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times The show is legitimately funny and quite delightful, not the least because both Olson and Morgan seem to be having a good time. Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Daniel Fienberg Hollywood Reporter Olson represents this series’ high potential. Everything else needs to catch up with her. Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Stephanie Morgan Common Sense Media Erin Brockovich meets Psych in this show that strikes a fun balance between light drama and heavy comedy, mixing the crime procedural elements with the sharp wit of Kaitlin Olson. Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Matt Roush TV Insider The chemistry between Olson and Sunjata is strong, with Morgan's blithe brashness igniting Karadec's by-the-book exasperation to solid comic effect.

J D Only 3 eps have been released so far and I'm pretty much hooked. I don't ten to do western media based procedural dramas. But this is light hearted and fun. My experience is more in the Kdrama version of procedural but this has the funny moments between with Kaitlin just being fun, relatable and wholesome, plus she slays though outfits. Daniel does the no nonsense by the book straight man on this great. Perfect chemistry and I love it. I hope the background characters do get fleshed out some more, Javicia, Deniz especially I do love those two as well. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Carla B Love police procedurals. Love Kaitlin Olson. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Adnan R awesome! brings the best from the cop dramas and discards the boring parts. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Nam S I'm a fan for the French one . The French is way more sassier and much more over the top . They turned the craziness down a lot. I like it? Yes Not Bad at all Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Rene A Without a doubt, my new favorite show. I so look forward every week to episodes. It only looks like six, which seems like such a shame. I think it's time for it to rethink this show. It doesn't look high budget, despite its high yield in entertainment. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Phil S This is how you make a procedural TV series. Fun, witty, smart and pulls on your emotions when you least expect it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
