Watch High Potential: Preview
Good Will Hunting meets Legally Blonde in 10-part crime dramedy High Potential, which stars Kaitlin Olson as Morgan, a borderline genius cleaning woman who's as gifted as Reese Witherspoon's Will Hunting and as fiercely sassy as Matt Damon's Elle Woods... or should that be the other way around?
If anyone can figure it out it's Morgan, who'll throw in a withering burn for good measure. Read on our guide on how to watch High Potential online from anywhere below.
A polymath trained exclusively on a diet of TV documentaries, with razor-sharp powers of deduction and a photographic memory to boot, the pilot episode saw Morgan revise a police case when she accidentally knocked over a box of evidence while bopping along to music mid-shift, and – to lead detective Karadec's (Daniel Sunjata) dismay – was duly enlisted as a consultant by the head of the LAPD’s Major Crimes department Selena (Judy Reyes).
High Potential has received favorable comparisons to other 'civilian police consultant' shows such as Castle and The Mentalist, with critics praising Olson's Morgan as the best part of the procedural.
A word of warning if you've already watched HPI, the French series that High Potential is based on. Initial episodes are a word-for-word carbon copy, but showrunner Todd Harthan has said that it gradually treads its own path. A police procedural dressed up in leopard print and stick-on lashes, here's how to watch High Potential online. Follow our guide below to stream every episode from anywhere.
Watch High Potential online in the US
US viewers can watch High Potential on ABC. The show debuted on September 17, with new episodes airing every Tuesday at 10pm ET/PT.
If you're keen to check out what else ABC has to offer but don't have an antenna or ABC as part of your cable plan, there are still plenty of options to watch through a variety of cable alternatives. The most affordable option is Sling TV, where local ABC channels are available in select markets (double-check yours is included before you buy) with its Sling Blue plan. The Sling TV price for this plan is $45 a month, though you can save 50% on your first month.
Alternatively, Fubo is a pricier but more comprehensive OTT option. ABC comes with its entry-level Pro plan for $79.99 a month, and new users can give it a try and watch Abbott Elementary without cost with Fubo's 7-day free trial.
Each episode lands on Hulu the day after airing on ABC. Plans start from $7.99 a month, but you can pay a couple of dollars more to include the streaming service within a Disney Plus Bundle.
