What to expect from High Potential?
This show offers a mix of humor, suspense, and emotions through Kaitlin Olson's razor-sharp performance playing Morgan. High intellect with an unorthodox way of solving crimes separates her from other traditional detectives and makes her the only hope the LAPD has in the Major Crimes Division.
Drew Goddard is the man behind The Martian and Daredevil. His influence is felt deeply in the narrative style, which weaves in a secondary plot around Morgan's personal life: particularly her quest to discover what happened to Roman, her missing first husband.
It makes the audience identify with Morgan beyond her crime-solving. Decider describes the show as "a less zany version of Psych" but promises to remind fans of Castle and The Mentalist in its quirky, yet somehow compelling leads.
Added co-stars Daniel Sunjata as Detective Karadec and Judy Reyes as Selena do not disappoint, bringing more zest to the ensemble, both strengthening the show's character-driven side and plot-driven aspect.
Reactions to and reception of High Potential
Since its premiere, the show has had excellent word of mouth from the audience as well as the critics. One of the most vital points of discussion is Olson's performance for himself. The Wrap appreciated the seamless blendi of comedy and crime drama as something that sets the series apart from regular procedurals.
The blossoming partnership between Morgan and Detective Karadec is also worth noting. Their situation introduces a nice 'odd couple' dynamic that viewers will surely enjoy. A repeat of increasingly strained cases and with it, more entangled involvement of Morgan with the team, laces through each episode.
With each episode, Karadec, who seems to dislike Morgan at first for using unorthodox methods, is gradually made to understand her value. Such tension between them will make the show lively and engaging.
Another thing to look forward to is Morgan's subplot of looking for Roman, which brings a personal stake in the larger story and therefore, will give viewers something to discuss beyond the weekly case. The rest of the season should bring even more surprises, not least with the return of Roman into the show.
