However, further examination revealed blunt force trauma to the head, indicating a homicide. Witnesses reported a suspicious man, later identified as Chuck, a private investigator and former colleague of Karadec, following Tara. Chuck revealed he was hired by Brent Lewis, one of her employers, to monitor Tara due to concerns about her behavior toward their child. These concerns stemmed from Facebook posts by a "concerned mother" alleging Tara posed a threat. The posts were later traced to Oksana, a Russian nanny who harbored intense resentment toward Tara because she was friends with the nanny she replaced. Oksana created a fake Facebook account to impersonate the "concerned mother" and fuel the conspiracy.

As she and her team, particularly Morgan, delved deeper, they uncovered that Barry had actually been electrocuted in the shower before his body was disposed of down the laundry chute, staining George's clothes with blood. This revelation unraveled a tangled web of family conflicts, revealing Barry's history of domestic abuse against his wife, Heather. The night of his death, a heated argument at the Donovan residence had led Barry to storm off, setting the stage for the real crime.

Further investigation exposed an unexpected twist: Cody, Barry's son, was the real killer. In a desperate attempt to protect his mother, Cody used a hair dryer to electrocute his father in the shower, dropped his body down the laundry chute, and later staged the scene to throw off authorities, making it appear as though Barry had been drinking in the sauna. Given Cody's age at the time of the crime, he would be tried as a minor, ensuring a reduced sentence.

Reception

Critical response

edit

The series holds a 96% approval rating on review aggregatorRotten Tomatoes,based on 23 critic reviews with an average rating of 7.3/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "With the ineffableKaitlin Olsonon hand to inject some spiky personality into a familiar formula,High Potentialis a solid procedural with plenty of upside. "[33]Metacritic,which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 72 out of 100 based on 16 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[34]

Aramide Tinubu ofVarietyasserted thatHigh Potentialis a solid police procedural, praised Kaitlin Olson's performance, noting her ability to bring quirky charm to the role. Tinubu found the show's premise to be engaging, with Morgan's genius-level IQ and eccentricities offering a unique spin on the crime genre. Tinubu stated that whileHigh Potentialdoes not break new ground in the genre, it remains a perfectly adequate and formulaic watch. Tinubu appreciated the supporting cast, especially the chemistry between Olson and her co-stars, and highlighted the intriguing dynamic between Morgan and Detective Karadec.[35]

Daniel Fienberg ofThe Hollywood Reportersaid thatHigh Potentialis a show with a promising star but a shaky premise, praising Olson for her strong performance as Morgan. Fienberg found the exposition in the pilot, particularly Morgan's unsolicited revelation of her IQ, to be off-putting and distracting, noting it undermines the character's likability. He stated that the show struggles with its central premise, particularly around the question of how much Morgan's "high potential" actually contributes to solving cases, which leaves other characters feeling superfluous. Fienberg appreciated Olson's ability to ground the show and make the absurd moments enjoyable, but noted that the series as a whole is still finding its balance, with the chemistry between Olson and her co-stars, especially Daniel Sunjata, still developing. He concluded that while Olson represents the series' "high potential," the rest of the show needs to catch up.[36]
