Sometimes you just want to sit down, pull up a streaming service, and escape into a fun procedural for an hour or so\u00a0(45 minutes if you have an ad-free plan). There’s a reason people still love shows like “Bones”<\/a> and even “House, M.D.” all these years later; procedurals offer an amazing vacation from reality, because in their world, things are almost always wrapped up tidily and with clear answers (an unfortunate rarity in our reality). Thankfully, there’s a great ABC procedural with a killer 98% Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> score that’s caught audiences’ attention on Hulu (per the viewership rankings provided by\u00a0FlixPatrol<\/a>), and it’s only partway through its second season.<\/p>\n “High Potential” was created by “The Cabin in the Woods” director Drew Goddard, based on the French and Belgian series “HPI,” and stars Kaitlin Olson as Morgan Gillory, a “high-potential intellectual” with a genius-level IQ whose incredible attention to detail and instant memory recall make her an ideal civilian consultant for the Los Angeles Police Department’s\u00a0Major Crimes Division. The only thing is that Morgan is extremely unconventional, a single mother of three who wears loud (and often revealing) outfits and isn’t afraid to speak her mind or break rules, which can be a bit of a problem for her partner, Detective Adam Karadec\u00a0(Daniel Sunjata). With an intriguing mystery involving Morgan’s ex \u2014 who mysteriously disappeared \u2014 woven throughout the series and individual episodes that mostly stand alone, “High Potential” is perfect whether you’re looking for a quick diversion or a full-blown binge watch. As for Olson? She’s the incredible glue that holds it all together.<\/p>\n
