The new ABC series is an absolute gem in the police procedural genre that we can all enjoy! I’d love to share my thoughts on the exciting premiere of High Potential with you.
After tuning into the series premiere of High Potential on Tuesday night, I found it a fun and intriguing experience! Kaitlin Olson, who plays Morgan, a janitor working for the LAPD, really surprised everyone with her clever insights into a case they were trying to solve.
In this case, Morgan and Detective Karadec (played by Daniel Sunjata) work on a murder case that also turns into a missing person. But along the line, we learn about Morgan and her relationship with her older daughter, who's asking about her father, who went missing 15 years ago.
After successfully solving the case and reuniting the missing person with their loved ones, Morgan receives an exciting job offer from the LAPD as a consultant. She eagerly accepts this opportunity and seeks their help finding her daughter's missing father. This sets the stage for a thrilling season-long journey filled with challenges as Morgan and her dedicated team tackle various cases while piecing together the puzzle of her family's story.
The inaugural episode demonstrated significant potential for the series, featuring humorous moments, compelling cases, and characters, notably Olson. The perspective of Olson's character, who perceives elements invisible to others, is a narrative element familiar from previous police procedurals, such as The Irrational and Columbo. However, Olson, who performs exceptionally well at the outset of the episode, introduces a nuanced understanding that is refreshingly grounded. I eagerly anticipate further developments this season.
Overall, I give the series premiere a 9/10.
