High Potential is Hulu’s latest comedy-drama series that follows Morgane Alvaro, a single mother whose exceptional intelligence and observational skills allow her to solve complex cases. While I’ll admit that at first, I thought it was a show about marijuana, it turns out High Potential is a reference to Morgan’s Potential to solve crime, making it a perfect choice for true-crime fans who need to step away from the real tragedies for a bit. Morgane captivates viewers through her charm, wit, and unconventional approach.
Latest episode
In this latest episode, Morgan is involved in a high-stakes investigation that is looking for a missing person. While dealing with her issues, she unravels clues that no one else seems to notice, leading to an explosive conclusion.
Like always, there are plenty of playful and funny moments that cause the episode to pass by a little too quickly, leaving fans wanting more, and it’s always fun to see if you can pick out the clues before she mentions them.
Behind-the-scenes details
This newest episode has a lot of easter eggs that suggest it is paying homage to the popular show Twin Peaks. Some of the clues include Dana Ashbrook’s guest starring and a body found on a beach.
Many of the scenes in this episode take place in areas that recent fires have destroyed.

The cast
The main star of the show is Kaitlin Olson from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, who perfectly balances the character’s brilliance and eccentricity. However, there are several great supporting actors as well, including Daniel Sunjata, who plays Adam Karadec, the lead detective, Javicia Leslie as Daphne Forrester, and Judy Reyes as Selena Soto.
On-screen chemistry between all of the characters is perfect, especially in this episode when we are starting to notice some feelings between some of the main characters.
Why you should tune in
High Potential isn’t just about solving crimes; it’s a fun watch packed with great tidbits of information, plenty of laughs, and great writing. Morgane’s journey reminds us that thinking outside the box can lead to extraordinary outcomes, both in life and on the job. If you’re looking for a show that’s equal parts gripping and heartwarming, High Potential should top your watchlist.
