High Potential

I am out of town for Thanksgiving, so I may not be around the blogosphere as much this week. I'll catch up with everyone upon my return.

It's a holiday week, so that means Wednesday is time for that-TV-show-you-might-not-be-aware-of. Although, this show is on ABC, so I'm sure some of you have heard of it if you haven't seen it. I'm talking about the new show High Potential

In the pilot, Morgan is a cleaning lady, but by the end of the pilot, she's working as a consultant for the police. And while I tend to avoid procedural TV shows (because that's only encouraging the networks to make more), there weren't many new shows that caught my eye, and this one also kept my interest. Here's the blurb via Google

Morgan, a single mom with three kids and an exceptional mind, helps solve an unsolvable crime when she rearranges some evidence during her shift as a cleaner for the police department. When they discover she has a knack for putting things in order because of her high intellectual potential, she is brought on as a consultant to work with a by-the-book seasoned detective, Karadec. Together they form an unusual and unstoppable team.

Here's the trailer:

It was airing on ABC, but you can pick it up streaming on Hulu (to catch up). Currently it's on "winter break" until January. 

Have you seen this show? Does it sound interesting to you?

  3. I've seen the trailers for it. It seemed rather silly. I like my police procedurals to be more serious and professional! Of course, maybe it turns out to be, and the ads are aimed to grab attention and be a bit silly.

    1. It's not that silly. Just enough humor, I think.

  4. I hadn't even heard of this show. It might be good for a laugh or two, unless it's more serious than the trailer is showing. Right now, I am not watching much TV but then, I always seem to say that.

    1. The main character settles into a decent consultant, so it's a tad more serious than the trailer.

  5. I think this sounds like the right mix between comedy and procedural show. I haven't heard of it before.

  7. This sounds fun and reminds a bit from what you described of the series The Flight Attendant. Kind of similar. Happy Thanksgiving.
