TV’s latest approach to storytelling has been asking viewers for patience despite little payoff, and it’s deeply impacting great shows.
High Potential is an American crime drama series that premiered on ABC on September 17, 2024. Created by Drew Goddard, the show is an adaptation of the French series HPI.
The narrative centers on Morgan Guillory, portrayed by Kaitlin Olson, a single mother of three with an exceptional intellect and an IQ of 160. Initially working as a cleaning lady for the Los Angeles Police Department, Morgan’s unique ability to solve complex cases leads her to become a consultant for the LAPD’s Major Crimes Division. Her unconventional methods and sharp mind form an unusual partnership with the by-the-book Detective Karadec, played by Daniel Sunjata.
The series delves into Morgan’s balancing act between her demanding role in crime-solving and her responsibilities as a mother. It also explores her quest to uncover the truth behind the mysterious disappearance of her first boyfriend, Roman, who vanished when their eldest daughter, Ava, was a baby.
High Potential has garnered attention for its engaging storytelling and Olson’s compelling performance. The show airs on ABC and is available to stream on platforms such as Hulu and Disney+.
