A new highly-rated detective series on Disney+ has been dubbed an ‘absolute masterpiece’ by fans.

High Potential has just been released on the popular streaming service in the UK and Ireland and has already wowed viewers. 

The crime show stars American actress Kaitlin Olson, 49, as Morgan and Daniel Sunjata, 53, as detective Karadec.

It follows the story of a single mother-of-three who works as a cleaner and has the surprising ability to solve crimes, leading her to form a partnership with Karadec, a seasoned detective.

The series was written by Drew Goddard – the mastermind behind The Martian and The Good Place.

At least 11 episodes are set to be released for UK audiences, with the rest dropping later in the year.

The series has already been available to watch in the US since last year and has racked up impressive reviews.

One fan posted their thoughts on the new show online and dubbed it ‘a hilarious and heart warming hidden gem’. 

The viewer added: ‘I just binge-watched High Potential and I’m still reeling from the experience. This show is an absolute masterpiece that will leave you laughing, crying, and rooting for its lovable characters.

‘The writing is clever, witty, and relatable, tackling real-life issues with humour and sensitivity. What sets High Potential apart is its unique blend of humour and poignancy. One moment you’re laughing out loud at a ridiculous joke, and the next, you’re nodding in recognition at a character’s vulnerability.

‘Overall, High Potential is a must-watch for anyone seeking a feel-good comedy with substance. It’s a show that will make you smile, think, and maybe even inspire you to reach your own potential.’ 

High Potential has earned a whopping 94% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes and some watchers have taken to the review site to share their verdicts. 

One penned: ‘Great show, easy watch, funny and some great knowledge insights as they unpick crimes. 100 recommend.’

A second wrote: ‘Such a binge worthy show and I love how fun but also at the edge of your seat the whole time.’

While a third said: ‘This show is so fresh and fun. The characters are interesting and complex.’

Another shared: ‘I have been pleasantly surprised at this show! It’s got unique characters, is funny, heartwarming, and so far, clean! I love having a show I can enjoy with my husband but also have on with my kids in the room.’

Someone else said: ‘Love this show!! It’s refreshing, funny, light hearted, smart & has good crimes. I’ve missed shows like this since the days of Monk & Psych. 

‘I can’t get into all the other detective or crime shows out there now, but I don’t miss an episode of High Potential. Looking forward to many more episodes and seasons!’

However, not everyone has been impressed by the detective series and some shared their disappointment too. 

One viewer said: ‘I never made it past the first episode! The trailers did not look that interesting!’

While another penned: ‘It is watchable, but very predictable every episode. Sort of show you throw on to waste time while looking at you phone instead of concentrating.

‘Surely someone could make something better than this. Good cast just so predictable.’

A third wrote: ‘This really is a showcase for the two main characters, all the rest are just props. 

‘Lazy writing and no substance as far as the plot goes. Not particularly funny. Gave it a chance with four episodes hoping it would get better. Moving on.’

High Potential is available to stream on Disney+.
