I’ve always maintained that High Potential works better when it legitimately challenges Morgan.

Just in case you needed a reminder that we were firmly in Spooky Season, High Potential Season 2 delivers its obligatory Halloween episode.

A culture is defined by the stories it tells, so I’m not sure what it has to say about our current climate that you can’t turn the TV on these days without having to endure something about influencers.

One murder is usually enough for High Potential, but Episode 4 of Season 2, “Behind the Music”, has two to worry about.

As predicted, High Potential Season 2 is losing a bit of steam after wrapping up the Game Maker storyline so quickly.

And just like that, the Game Maker mini-arc that has been the focal point of High Potential in both the Season 1 finale and the Season 2 premiere has come to an end.

“Obsessed” is a fitting title for the midseason premiere of High Potential. Morgan is obsessed, for instance, with solving crimes, spouting off random facts about everything.

Season 1, Episode 7, “One of Us”, is the midseason finale of High Potential, though I’m not sure it necessarily feels like one. A criticism?...

Readers, I’ve been banging this drum for a while, but honestly – when is High Potential going to commit to Morgan being wrong? Season 1,...

There’s a case to be made that Season 1, Episode 5 of High Potential, aptly titled “Croaked”, gets a bit too complex for its own...

I’m mixed on Season 1, Episode 4 of High Potential, “Survival Mode”. On the one hand, I think it’s a much more interesting case than...

A classic locked-room mystery is at the heart of High Potential Season 1, Episode 3, and it’s a good fit. I continue to – like...
