High Potential Season 2 Review: ABC's Charming Procedural Raises the Stakes
A new adversary for Morgan gives star Kaitlin Olson great material, even if the show still hasn't unlocked the rest of the cast's potential

When High Potential debuted on ABC in 2024, it felt as though it arrived fully formed — a feat for any freshman series. Sure, part of this is thanks to the fact that the show is adapted from the Franco-Belgian series HPI, so it arrived with a roadmap. But this type of self-assuredness also comes from the creative team behind it — the American version of the series was created by Drew Goddard (Daredevil) and is showrun by Todd Harthan (The Resident, Psych) — who know how to deliver a compelling crime procedural in an ocean full of crime procedurals. The cases of the week are more than serviceable, a nice mix of characters make up the main team, and typically by the end of the hour, the bad guy is caught and the story is all tied up: all of your basic must-haves for a procedural to work.
The element that has made High Potential stand out since the start is, of course, Kaitlin Olson's Morgan Gillory. The single-ish (shout-out to Taran Killam, who plays her friendly ex-husband, Ludo, and does so much with the little he's given!) mom of three and mini-skirt-wearing genius who has agreed to help the LAPD's Major Crimes unit with their cases is a hoot to watch. Olson is excellent at holding both the snarky and the soft sides of Morgan.….
