What to Know

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 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. Rated: 3/5 Feb 4, 2025 Full Review Caroline Framke Boston Globe 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. Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Tim Glanfield Times (UK) 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. Rated: 4/5 Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Debashine Thangevelo Independent Online (South Africa) If you are a fan of whodunits, this one ticks the box - and then some. Feb 28, 2025 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. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 24, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Steven T Well worth your time. While not every episode is a 100% winner, the winners far outnumber the losers in this series. Morgan's abilities to help solve nearly every case with "outside the box" insight is a joy to see and, in some cases, quite educational. Also, be prepared to shed a tear on some of the episodes. The first and last episodes are my favorites. The first one is a classic episode that you will want to hit "repeat" time and time again. I am so glad that High Potential is coming back for a season 2. Hopefully Morgan's long lost husband's disappearance is finally resolved to a satisfactory conclusion. Watch this series and you will end up in LOVE with Kaitlin Olson's Morgan. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review A. D The idea overall is not bad, but everything happens so FAST! There is no time to enjoy the mystery of a crime scene.. It all gets resolved very quickly. It is a very fast paced movie. Everybody talks fast and everything happens fast . Sometimes it just feels like I am watching a commercial - too much of everything is squeezed into a small time frame. I will keep watching it. As soon as the "Only Murders in the Building" is ready (5 th season) I will switch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/25 Full Review Josue M Not bad – the series kicks off with a strong introduction to the main character. However, as the plot unfolds, the way she solves the case becomes too predictable. The writers reveal nearly all the clues right away, leaving you to wonder how she'll deduce the next step. This constant, effortless resolution makes the story feel rather monotonous. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/25 Full Review Brendan M The writing is horrible. They connect a company called Autophile to a guy named Phil E and go off to arrest him based on that. I’ll ignore TV police work for a decent show, but this one thinks the audience is stupid and easily entertained Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/23/25 Full Review Topher N It's fine, but at this point nothing special. Many of the main characters are good, but the writing often leaves more to be desired. It has the potential to be solid, but it's not there yet. Hopefully season 2 improves Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/25 Full Review jode C This show is a knock of ,to the episode and words, of a French show called, high intelligence potential! They actually copy it to the words. But the acting is good and the chemistry is there. Both in the French version and the American one. The ONLY reason I don’t give it all stars is because they didn’t even change the dialog . Have Americans really lost all imagination. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Read all reviews
