Hit cosy crime drama that ‘ticks boxes for whodunit fans’ is back! Here’s how to watch in the UK

by

The crime drama *High Potential* is back with a new season! Here’s a guide to when each episode will be released.

I’m totally hooked on this show! It’s about Morgan Gillory, played by Kaitlin Olson, who’s a cleaning lady, but she’s seriously brilliant. The LAPD’s Major Crimes division ends up realizing how smart she is and starts using her as a consultant to help solve cases. It’s a really fun premise!

The show, inspired by the French and Belgian concept of giftedness known as *Haut Potentiel Intellectuel (HPI)*, launched last year and was a critical success, earning a 96% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

According to *Independent Online* in South Africa, the show is a great choice for mystery fans. The *Daily Mail* noted that it has a classic, old-fashioned American sitcom feel and a similar, relaxed pace.

Critics are calling this show wonderfully guilty pleasure viewing. *The Guardian* praised it as “gorgeous, brilliant trash TV” deserving of awards, while *Variety* noted that with a strong lead performance and talented supporting cast, it’s a well-executed, if predictable, series.

Olson has hinted that the second season will be a mix of intense drama, lighthearted comedy, and deeper explorations of the characters’ relationships, as she told *Deadline*.

We’re planning to explore the other characters on the show more fully. We didn’t get to develop them as much as we wanted to in the past, but we’ll be focusing on that now.

The first episode of the second season is now available to stream on Disney+ for viewers in the UK.

New episodes will be released over the next few weeks, but we don’t know the exact release dates yet.
