tv echo February 8 Share February 8 High Potential's Amirah J Talks Playing Ava, Teases Finale Cliffhangers Meara Isenberg Feb 8, 2025 https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/high-potentials-amirah-j-talks-playing-ava-teases-finale-cliffhangers/ Quote Q: How much do you think the differences between Ava and her family impact her? I think they're very impactful for her. I feel like Ava has a hard time trying to fit into her own family. She kind of feels like she doesn't necessarily belong, in a way, because her little brother has the abilities that her mom has, and then it's her half-brother and her half-sister, and they have their dad, and she doesn't have hers. And so she's trying to navigate all these different things and find a way to fit into her own family, which is very challenging for her. * * * I just can't wait to see Ava's growth next season and hopefully learn more about her father's disappearance and her childhood, like before her other siblings came along, kind of what her life was like when it was just her and Morgan. Figuring out that kind of dynamic, I think would be really awesome. * * * Audiences have slowly uncovered more about Roman's disappearance. Will the finale provide more answers regarding this ongoing mystery, and if you can't tell us, can you tease anything else about the finale for fans? Yes, I don't want to spoil too much, but I do think that the fans are going to be left with some cliffhangers at the end of the season, which hopefully, they won't be too upset about. But I think they will receive some answers. But we gotta leave you with cliffhangers. We gotta make it interesting ... I really want to know what happened, so I'm excited for that story to continue. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/139302-high-potential-in-the-media/page/2/#findComment-8575730
tv echo February 9 Share February 9 (edited) High Potential & HPI: So How Do These Genius Detectives Compare? Let's take a look at how High Potential and the original French series that it's based on, HPI (Haut Potentiel Intellectual), stack up. Adi Tantimedh Feb 9, 2025 https://bleedingcool.com/tv/high-potential-hpi-so-how-do-these-genius-detectives-compare/ Quote Let's be clear: neither High Potential nor HPI are necessarily "masterpieces" that redefine television, but they do the quirky detective procedural well with a bit of an edge. High Potential even remade the same pilot story and several of the same episodes to US network requirements for good or ill. There are significant differences between the shows, though, in detail and nuance. Both series depend completely on their star's charisma, or there would be no show, but Olson's Morgan Gillory and Audrey Fleurot's Morgane Avaro are very different. In High Potential, Morgan is mostly quirky with all the edge and flaws ironed out, probably because of network executive notes because they can't bear anything in a main character that risks making her unlikeable. Morgane in HPI is all edge – she's not merely quirky; she's an impulsive screwup with bad boundaries and a massive chip on her shoulder. Her tendency to touch evidence has screwed up several crime scenes and made evidence inadmissible. Earning the trust of Karadec (Mehdi Nebbou) takes several more episodes than it does in the US version, where Karadec (Daniel Sunjata) starts to trust her by the end of the pilot. Morgane also hates cops (for good reason) and doesn't trust them for a long time. The French series makes it clear she's a screwup because of her impulsiveness, and there's more commentary about class conflict. Morgan's being working class is played down in High Potential, but being blue collar is a strong part of Morgane's identity, including her suspicion and resentment of the rich. Morgane is more overtly sexual and comfortable in her sexuality, while the puritanical nature of US TV largely neuters Morgan. Morgane also isn't known for that speech-making that Morgan does because US network cop shows have to do that all the time. HPI has a much more natural, real-world vibe to it, while High Potential still has that first season "US network procedural" vibe to it that should (hopefully) get toned down as the series goes beyond its freshman season. HPI had three seasons, so if you're jonesing for more High Potential after the season finale, you can just watch the original French series.

High Potential’s ‘Satisfying’ Finale Sucks Morgan Into a Killer’s Deadly Game (Exclusive Sneak Peek) By Andy Swift February 11, 2025 https://tvline.com/previews/high-potential-season-1-episode-13-finale-spoilers-video-1235407812/ Quote In addition to promising a “satisfying final episode for the audience,” showrunner Todd Harthan teases that the explosive hour “harkens back to where the characters started this season and shows how far they’ve come in a short period of time.” “It’s been quite a bumpy ride for Morgan since she joined the team,” Harthan says. “In this episode, we’re going to see the trust that has been built within this newfound family. They’re all being tested in a way that they collectively hadn’t quite been tested before. There have been some challenging cases that came before, but this one felt like it was a meaningful upgrade.” TVLine has an exclusive first look at the aforementioned case, in which an apparent killer invites the LAPD to play along with his twisted game… or else more people will die.

When it comes to this LAPD odd couple, it’s not even a will they/won’t they situation — it’s simply inevitable. And after watching their chemistry develop over the course of the ABC procedural’s first season, we’re ready for “when” to be now. Don’t get us wrong, we were all in on Morgan and Tom, but that was before he took a new job in a city nearly two hours away. If Morgan is going to continue doing an entire department’s worth of detective work, she doesn’t have time to do long distance. — Andy Swift 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/139302-high-potential-in-the-media/page/2/#findComment-8581562

It's actually funny how the actors playing Karadec have the same facial grooming and look very similar. The character of Morgan is the big difference.
