Watch High Potential: Preview
Good Will Hunting meets Legally Blonde in 10-part crime dramedy High Potential, which stars Kaitlin Olson as Morgan, a borderline genius cleaning woman who’s as gifted as Reese Witherspoon’s Will Hunting and as fiercely sassy as Matt Damon’s Elle Woods… or should that be the other way around?
If anyone can figure it out it’s Morgan, who’ll throw in a withering burn for good measure. Read on our guide on how to watch High Potential online from anywhere below.
A polymath trained exclusively on a diet of TV documentaries, with razor-sharp powers of deduction and a photographic memory to boot, she revises a police case when she accidentally knocks over a box of evidence while bopping along to music mid-shift, and – to lead detective Karadec’s (Daniel Sunjata) dismay – is duly enlisted as a consultant by the head of the LAPD’s Major Crimes department Selena (Judy Reyes).
And Karadec’s not the only person with hang-ups about the move, as Morgan herself isn’t entirely at ease about working for the police. With three mouths to feed at home, however, cleaning work isn’t paying the bills. It’s time to get her hands dirty.
A word of warning if you’ve already watched HPI, the French series that High Potential is based on. Initial episodes are a word-for-word carbon copy, but showrunner Todd Harthan has said that it gradually treads its own path. A police procedural dressed up in leopard print and stick-on lashes, here’s how to watch High Potential online. Follow our guide below to stream every episode from anywhere.

US viewers can watch High Potential on ABC when it debuts on Tuesday, September 17. Episodes air at 10pm ET/PT and new instalments will be broadcast weekly.
If you’re keen to check out what else ABC has to offer but don’t have an antenna or ABC as part of your cable plan, there are still plenty of options to watch through a variety of cable alternatives. The most affordable option is Sling TV, where local ABC channels are available in select markets (double-check yours is included before you buy) with its Sling Blue plan. The Sling TV price for this plan is $45 a month, though you can save 50% on your first month.
Alternatively, Fubo is a pricier but more comprehensive OTT option. ABC comes with its entry-level Pro plan for $79.99 a month, and new users can give it a try and watch Abbott Elementary without cost with Fubo’s 7-day free trial.
Each episode lands on Hulu the day after airing on ABC. Plans start from $7.99 a month, but you can pay a couple of dollars more to include the streaming service within a Disney Plus Bundle.
How to watch High Potential from anywhere
US citizen on vacation? Or perhaps you’re working overseas and want to stream High Potential on a streaming service, just as if you were back home. Unfortunately, in some markets you’ll be stopped from doing so due to geo-blocking.
But with a VPN you can change your IP address and make your computer, smartphone, tablet or other streaming device think its right back in the US.
That means US citizens overseas can subscribe to a VPN, join a US-based server and access their subscription no matter where you are in the world, just as if you were in the comfort of your own home.
How to use a VPN to unblock streaming services:
1. Choose your ideal VPN and install – our go-to recommendation for unblocking is NordVPN, costing from $3.99 a month with its 2-year plan
2. Connect to a server – for Sling TV, for example, you’ll want to connect to a server based in the US
3. Go to the stream you wish to access – for High Potential, that could be Sling or FuboTV.
