Critics, per Wikipedia
The series' first season holds a 96% approval rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, based on 25 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "With the ineffable Kaitlin Olson on hand to inject some spiky personality into a familiar formula, High Potential is a solid procedural with plenty of upside." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 72 out of 100 based on 16 critics, indicating "generally favorable". Aramide Tinubu of Variety asserted that High Potential is a solid police procedural, praised Kaitlin Olson's performance, noting her ability to bring quirky charm to the role.

neutral · AI labelView post →My favorite dumb TV, High Potential, is back, it's about Kaitlin Olson as a woman who gets to consult with the police because her IQ is so high and it's exactly like a show Dee would pitch about herself
positive · AI labelView post →I know folks are mad about the Dropout x The Rookie thing because it is a cop show but one thing I think folks forget is that Cop Shows (which is such a broad net and includes shows folks like like Elementary or High Potential) are a MASSIVE part of television production in LA, possibly the majority
neutral · AI labelView post →I like Sweet Dee’s new show High Potential I think it’s nice
positive · AI labelView post →Hubs is going to a concert tonight and went to the neighbors for dinner. I'm ordering pizza and salad 🥗 to be delivered!!😜 And watching my taped show, High Potential!
neutral · AI labelView post →Also the only show on this list that is a new scripted fictional show is Ghosts and that's technically a remake of a UK show. Everything else is copaganda, reality tv, a spinoff of an existing show, or whatever you want to call SNL and America's Funniest Videos. High Potential is a remake too.
neutral · AI labelView post →High Potential (Series, 2024 - )
neutral · AI labelView post →Update: High Potential has become my most recent comfort show. It’s on in the background at all times.
positive · AI labelView post →My producer who is Latina said it was a conversation that made her feel really seen as a Latina woman. I think you'll like it! I can't say enough good things about Judy Reyes. Also don't sleep on Devious Maids. It's good! And her show High Potential is the first number one 10 pm drama since ER.
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched the pilot for "High Potential" and it's refreshing to watch a grounded show where a janitor is better at being a police officer than most police officers.
positive · AI labelView post →And because I don't care if I spoil the show for you, but High Potential has a serial killer B plot that really takes off at the end of season 1. I don't think it's going anywhere moral. If you want "zany person accompanies cop" I suggest Lucifer which at least has a corrupt cop B plot
neutral · AI labelView post →is the show High Potential about a detective who solves crimes using the power of thinking about them?
neutral · AI labelView post →You’re trapped in the last tv show you watched, where are you? Me? I’m trapped in ‘High Potential’ 🖤
neutral · AI labelView post →There's a show coming out called High Potential about a single mother of three who works as a custodian at the police department & claims to have a 160 IQ so the conclusion she comes to is to become a volunteer crime solver for the cops because she's true crime pilled & keeps evidence tampering.
neutral · AI labelView post →The best way to honor everyone connected to this show is to (1) cancel Hulu; (2) cancel Disney+; (3) turn off the ABC network No DWTS No Abbott Elementary No Bachelor No High Potential No The Rookie No 9-1-1 No Grey's Anatomy No General Hospital No The View Make ABC the lowest rated TV network
neutral · AI labelView post →High Potential is not related to the topic at hand, it's just the most recent show I've been catching up on. LOL
neutral · AI labelView post →I sincerely think everyone should have one dumb show, it's good to not always feel stress while watching fiction (High Potential is mine)
positive · AI labelView post →I know it's overdone but what if they set up part of the PCPD like they do on any streaming show? Vera-- Shetland-- High Potential or a million others. Discuss the crime, do real "beats" and clues and such. Play it like a mini-series #GH
neutral · AI labelView post →High Potential feels like a fake show that a real show would occasionally cut to.
negative · AI labelView post →BOOM: ABC Tuesday dramas return with series highs in same-day viewers. WILL TRENT kicked off S3 with 5.9M viewers, besting its previous high (4.8M on 3/5/24) by a million. HIGH POTENTIAL showed the, er, high potential of a 9 p.m. slot, notching 5.7M, nearly 2M ahead of 10 pm high (3.8M on 10/8)
neutral · AI labelView post →The live-action ‘ERAGON’ series is moving forward at Disney+ • Todd Harthan (‘High Potential’) and Todd Helbing (‘Superman and Lois’) will serve as co-showrunners. • Author Christopher Paolini is heavily involved with the series. (via variety.com/2026/tv/news...)
neutral · AI labelView post →Always Sunny is a smart show about a bunch of evil dummies and it is never ever sentimental for even a second. High Potential is a deeply dumbass show about a supergenius and her angelically lawful-good cohort, and it is intolerably sentimental for exactly 50 seconds near the end of every ep.
negative · AI labelView post →I don’t watch the show, but Billy Brown was in the most recent episode of High Potential. Glad to see he’s still acting being that he kinda disappeared after Htgawm
neutral · AI labelView post →ABC's HIGH POTENTIAL continues finding new linear viewers. Tuesday's episode notched a stunning 8.9M L+3 viewers, per Nielsen-- highest of the season and, I'm guessing, a series high as well. The idea that network TV shows don't grow in S2 anymore? It's a myth.
neutral · AI labelView post →So I like High Potential, and this is not necessarily a critique of the show's narrative value, but a thing happens in S02E06 that reminded me that the show is still copaganda, and in particular that the genre overall values *defying the rights of the accused* as cunning and heroic.
neutral · AI labelView post →Mourning “So Help Me Todd” the gay son coded and mom detective show but finding love again in High Potential
positive · AI labelView post →What factors make up a great on-screen detective? I use the new show High Potential to springboard a discussion about brilliant crime-solving busybodies
neutral · AI labelView post →I started watching High Potential because Kaitlin Olsen is a genius, and while I’m having a good time I can’t help but realize this show is just the Alexis Goodlooking joke from 30 Rock
neutral · AI labelView post →Per @arigoldman.bsky.social over on another site, last night's 8 p.m. HIGH POTENTIAL encore notched 3.2M same-day viewers in prelim data, making it ABC's most-watched 8 p.m. drama rerun in almost 8 years-- and the likely No. 1 most-watched show Tuesday. Hope Kaitlin Olson doesn't get audited.
neutral · AI labelView post →I still want that Mr and Mr Smith show Alan Cumming pitched ages ago. A modern Hart to Hart. An easy lay-up! The problem is PDs and the military fund so much tv now it's difficult to show cops as less than competent. As I understand it, a lot of ppl put up their own $$ to get High Potential made.
neutral · AI labelView post →I haven’t watched that Kaitlin Olson procedural High Potential but I assume it’s about a mother who solves crimes by taking an edible and listening to true crime podcasts. If that’s not the premise then Hello CBS I have a pitch for a television show.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's no GREY'S ANATOMY season 6 shooter-in-the-hospital finale (what is?), but this week's HIGH POTENTIAL, which sees the precinct undergo a hostage situation, was a wonderful showcase for Kaitlin Olson's range as an actress. So happy she's got this show now!
neutral · AI labelView post →If you need a fun and fairly lighthearted crime show to watch I really recommend High Potential. My partner and I watched so many episodes tonight it’s amazing 🤩 Very envious of Kaitlin Olson’s nail tech in this because she always looks fabulous!
positive · AI labelView post →I've just finished S1 of "High Potential" and now I've seen the core non-Danny cast of "It's Always Sunny" outside the show and I gotta say, out of all of them, Kaitlin Olson is easily the most talented actor. Not even a contest. Everyone else can say their lines on cue etc. but Olson ACTS.
positive · AI labelView post →High Potential is like if Barbenheimer was a TV show
neutral · AI labelView post →Wife and I started watching High Potential A procedural where A FUCKING FREAK (complimentary in many ways) helps solve crimes with their FREAK POWERS MID TO LATE 00S TELEVISION IS FUCKING BACK, BABY!!!
positive · AI labelView post →I like High Potential because the entire show is about how people (especially dudes) write off adhd women off as childish, but really were smarter than your boring ass.
positive · AI labelView post →Is anyone else watching High Potential? The Netflix series. The main character is the detective from my recently completed novel. The one I'm querying. The difference is mine is a bit darker, and she has the memory, but not the 160 IQ - My detective needs partners to do that. I have a comp!
neutral · AI labelView post →High Potential is a really good show. Sweet Dee Solves Crimes: Season 2. Can’t wait.
positive · AI labelView post →Hey James Roday Rodriguez directed an episode of High Potential, the show I keep saying reminds me of Psych I’m about to be so goddamn annoying
neutral · AI labelView post →I have spotted an @amirtalai.bsky.social in the wild! I’m a fan of the show High Potential, so color me happy when I saw Amir in the show!
neutral · AI labelView post →High Potential is actually based on a French show. Google says the original is on Hulu. I actually liked the American version (I hadn't tried the french one) before i decided to mostly cut out copaganda from my TV viewing. It's just very watchable. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HPI_(TV...

neutral · AI labelView post →Ah, High Potential or as I call it, Fruit From the Poisonous Tree: The Show.
negative · AI labelView post →I mean I have more thoughts on the representation of Morgan as autistic but they're messier (It's a series that originally was French and High Potential is what we use to avoid giving the wrong people* an autism diagnosis *the people who are white and wealthy* )
neutral · AI labelView post →Big return for ABC's HIGH POTENTIAL: S2 opener drew 12M linear+streaming viewers within 7 days, up 28% vs S1 premiere and within 10% of series highs last spring with finale (13.1M). Biggest Hulu/D+ 7-day streaming audience yet for HP. Including linear encores, HP S2 opener is up to 15.9M viewers
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m always so curious when a French series gets adapted in the US…. Kaitlin Olson casting in High Potential is kinda genius honestly. Both her and Audrey Fleurot always crack me up.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m enjoying High Potential as a show, it’s kind of Monk crossed with Poker Face, but casting Kaitlyn Olson means I’m just shouting ‘you look like a bird!’ At the tv every few minutes.
positive · AI labelView post →The season finale of 'High Potential' is here with Episode 13, "Let's Play!". It's a thrilling conclusion to an amazing season! Check out our review and see what we thought! www.jereereviews.com/post/high-po... #HighPotential #LetsPlay #TVReview #TVsky

positive · AI labelView post →We don't have a halftime act yet, but we do have our post-Super Bowl show: ABC will air a new episode of HIGH POTENTIAL, TV's No. 1 scripted series in multiplatform ratings, right after the game. It will also stream live on Disney+. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFnY...
neutral · AI labelView post →At the same time if a lore heavy show like "Paradise" was 22 episodes a season I believe it would be a much worse show. 15-16 à la "The Pitt" seems like a good number to me. Procedurals like "High Potential"? Churn them out. Never let Kaitlin Olson not be filming ever again.
positive · AI labelView post →I am gonna rant a bit. I am so sick of shows having 8 or 9 episodes and then that’s it. They call it a tv show, but it is a mini series because god knows we won’t see another season for three years. It’s bs, and I may just boycott those show anymore. I mean High Potential, 7 episodes? Is that it. 🧐
