A critically acclaimed crime drama, hailed by fans as an 'absolute masterpiece', has just become available for free to UK viewers. The first season of High Potential, which holds an impressive 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, has been added to the ITVX library at no extra cost.
From Disney Plus to Free Streaming
Previously, the series was an exclusive title for Disney Plus subscribers. However, a recent deal between the broadcaster and the streamer has made the show accessible on ITV's platform. It is not currently known how long this free window will last, offering a limited-time opportunity for a wider audience to discover the show.
This move allows viewers to catch up on what was declared one of the best new shows of 2024. The timing is perfect, as the show's second season began airing weekly on Disney Plus earlier this year but is currently on a winter hiatus, with episodes set to resume in the new year.
An Unlikely Crime-Solving Duo
The series stars Kaitlin Olson, best known for It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, in a dramatic turn as Morgan, a single mother of three working as a cleaner. Her life changes when her exceptional intellect leads her to solve an unsolvable crime by rearranging evidence during her shift at a police station.
Recognising her unique talent for pattern recognition, the department brings her on as a consultant. She is paired with a by-the-book detective, forming an unconventional but highly effective partnership that tackles the city's most complex cases.
Audience and Critical Acclaim
The show's blend of weekly crime mysteries and heartfelt character drama has earned it widespread praise. Fans have taken to social media to express their admiration, with many reporting binge-watching the entire first season in just a couple of days.
One fan described it as "an absolute masterpiece that will leave you laughing, crying, and rooting for its lovable characters", highlighting the clever writing and phenomenal performances. Another admitted being "totally hooked straight away", captivated by the mix of crime-solving and family moments.
A third viewer stated, "Right now this is the best show on TV and the best we have seen in a VERY long time", praising the ongoing character development in the recently launched second season.
With its new free availability on ITVX, alongside its ongoing run on Disney Plus, there has never been a better time for UK audiences to dive into the captivating world of High Potential.
