Twee tieners zijn in een kraakpand in Gent getuige van een geval van wurgseks, waarbij de jonge junkie Jane het leven laat. De jongens filmden het gebeuren en alarmeren Hannah Maes en haar team van de zedensectie. Bob en Charles vermoeden dat de dader nog meer slachtoffers maakte en dat hij de beelden van de moorden gebruikt voor zogenaamde snuffmovies. Een rondvraag in de videotheken in de buurt brengt de zedensectie op het spoor van de gemaskerde dader, met als schuilnaam Skully. Terwijl Hannah de rol van een oud-vrijwilliger bij Poverello onderzoekt, ontvangt ze een vreemde brief in verband met haar vader.
In a television landscape teeming with crime dramas and comedies, *High Potential* emerges as a refreshing narrative that perfectly balances humor and suspense. This American series, created by Drew Goddard for ABC, showcases an exceptional single mother named Morgan Gillory, portrayed brilliantly by Kaitlin Olson. With an IQ of 160 and a knack for solving complex crimes, Morgan's journey from cleaning woman to police consultant draws viewers into a world where intellect meets intuition in the most unexpected ways.
The premise is fascinating: Morgan Gillory works at the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) as a cleaner while raising her three children. Her life takes an exhilarating turn when her sharp mind leads to solving a complicated case that catches the attention of Detective Adam Karadec, played by Daniel Sunjata. Together, they form an unusual partnership characterized by contrasting styles—Morgan’s unconventional methods often clash with Adam’s disciplined approach. This dynamic not only serves as the backbone of the series but also sets up engaging storylines packed with witty banter and emotional depth.
What makes *High Potential* particularly compelling is how it explores personal themes alongside crime-solving adventures. Each episode dives deeper into Morgan's life as she juggles her roles as a mother and a consultant for Major Crimes at LAPD. The subplot involving her investigation into her first husband Roman's mysterious disappearance adds layers to her character, showcasing how personal stakes can intertwine with professional duties. As viewers follow Morgan’s journey through various cases—from attempted murders to missing children—they become invested in both her work and family life.
