High Potential Ratings & Reviews
- Piotr MikaFebruary 24, 2025This is the best criminal show I ever watched and trust me I watched a lot of good shows
- crgil7April 26, 2026I love the way the writers show Morgan's high IQ and methodology in solving cases but also how challenging it can be socially for someone with high intelligence. Also love the way that she softens her partner's right edges. Such a great show... Absolutely one of my favorites!
- Duda CaribeJune 29, 2025Very good series. Waiting for the second season.
- ybxj40November 8, 2025amazing!! the way she does everything is just astonishing!!!!
- gibbensApril 6, 2026Ok... fo me this is a train wreck that I can't walk away from. She is so much older than they are trying to portray her. She is completely unbelievable as a genius - or even smart. She has the Barbra Walters camera on her the entire time which is so off putting: one moment you can see wrinkles and skin blemishes on the male actors and then they are in a scene with her and it is all smoothed out adn glowing. I can see the pound of cake makeup they have on her neck and face to hide the fact she is in her 50s... The stories are paper thin. Also, she is supposed to be a genius to the point her son is a genius - and they repeatedly drive home that the kid inherited her brain... its a curse - but not her daughter. Weird, right? I mean for a show that does acrobatics to show she isn't racist and her one kid who has a black father is not really smart at all? She's just an artist? And not a DaVinci or anything, either - like collages and stuff. Its a weird message is all I am saying...

- SelinaMay 12, 2025One of the best series I’ve watched ngl got me back into watching
- @F_ReK.i5--February 6, 2026Americans are so use to watching bad Hollywood TV they cannot see how bad and not funny this show is. If you want to see great television skip this Hollywood TV rot and watch the show this tried to copy & failed miserably, "HIP - High Intellectual Potential" (2021) starring Audrey Fleurot as Morgane Alvaro. It is funny, the characters are likeable and have depth. It is everything this show is not. Just watching the trailers for each back to back makes it glaringly obvious how much better the original is.
- Joe PickeringOctober 12, 2024Execptional TV show. Wonderful writing, not overly complex or unbelievable - almost like a House MD style crime show, with a bit more heart. Solid watch.
- CallumOctober 28, 2025⭐⭐⭐⭐ (out of 5) High Potential – Brains, brooms, and brilliant deductions. “High Potential” puts a refreshing spin on the police-procedural formula: a single mum with an off-the-charts IQ and a mop in hand solves crimes the professionals can’t. Much like Castle, our untrained lead sees the world differently — patterns, motives, and clues the detectives miss — and it’s that outsider’s logic that cracks the case. Where Blue Lights dives deep into the mud of reality – Warhammer 40K grit and emotional exhaustion – and Death in Paradise floats through its saccharine tropical fairy-tale murders, High Potential lands about 80–90 percent of the way to Paradise. The tone is warm and funny, but the work ethic and authenticity come straight from Blue Lights’ school of sweat-and-intuition policing. High Potential is a latte in no man’s land — civilised chaos held together by caffeine, wit, and stubborn optimism. Amid the crime-solving chaos, family life hums in the background: single-parent struggles, growing kids, and an ex who’s refreshingly amicable — a rarity in TV drama. The balance between domestic warmth and detective grit gives the show its charm — smooth, satisfying, like a Baileys on ice on a hot day. It’s clever, heartfelt, and anchored by a female lead who’s truly in charge, much like Castle’s namesake but with a broom instead of a book. High Potential proves that intellect, empathy, and stubbornness are just as potent as any badge.
