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.

Dan Einav Financial Times Feb 4
3/5
Still, a show can do a lot worse than get by on the strength of its star. And after two decades as perhaps the most underexposed member of the Sunny ensemble, it’s nice to see Olson realise her potential as a series lead. Go to Full Review Caroline Framke Boston Globe Jan 28
It’s a balancing act that would trip up lesser actors, but one Olson takes on without breaking a visible sweat. For as solid as “High Potential” is overall, it still wouldn’t be realizing half its own potential without her. Go to Full Review Tim Glanfield The Times (UK) Jan 27
4/5
It’s the familiarity of the format that forms the foundation of success here. Layer on to that snappy and well-timed humour... and even the occasionally telegraphed plot points can be forgiven. Go to Full Review Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) Aug 4
4/5
It has the studio-bound look of a classic U.S. sitcom and the pacing to match. Go to Full Review Lindsay Press Culturess Mar 13
Morgan delivers heart and comedy to the series, as High Potential encourages her intelligence in spotting things other people can not while still having her learn what it means to go about things in a legal fashion. Go to Full Review Debashine Thangevelo Independent Online (South Africa) Feb 28

Simone P Dec 2 So unrealistic that’s it’s hard to watch. Could definitely be better. See more A A Dec 2 This show filled the Bones-sized hole in my heart. It’s your typical straight partner/wacky partner solving crimes show, but done really, really well.
