About “High Potential” in a few words:

“High Potential” is a gripping crime drama that follows Morgan Gillory, a single mother with an IQ of 160, who works as a janitor for the LAPD. Her exceptional intellect leads her to assist in solving complex cases, forming an unlikely partnership with the by-the-book detective Adam Karadec. Together, they navigate the challenges of crime-solving while Morgan also seeks answers about her past, including the mysterious disappearance of her first love.

Meet the characters from High Potential

Morgan Gillory

Oh man, Morgan is that brilliant-but-terribly-skeptical type who solves problems by making eighteen spreadsheets and then burning them for dramatic effect. She’s a planner, obsessive about details (like, color-coding her anxiety), but somehow she’ll make a totally impulsive road trip at 2 a.m. because “it felt right” — classic. Morgan is fiercely loyal and terrifyingly practical, always ready with a plan B, C, and probably a C-minus that somehow works. Also, she hoards weird postcards and claims she’s “bad with people” while secretly remembering everyone’s birthdays.

Adam Karadec

Adam is the smooth, easy-smile negotiator who can talk you down from a ledge and then roast you gently so you laugh and forgive him — like a diplomat with a comedian’s timing. He’s charming and strategic, loves vintage ties (yes, really) and has a ridiculous knack for making bad coffee taste tolerable because he talks about it like it’s art. Underneath the jokes there’s this quiet earnestness — he wants things to be fair, even when he’d benefit from a bit of chaos — and sometimes that makes him maddeningly stubborn. Also he swears he hates musicals but knows every lyric to one obscure show and will sing it at 3 a.m. if provoked.

Daphne Forrester

Daphne is all heart, a total idealist who organizes bake sales and revolutions with the same calm smile, but don’t mistake that for weakness — she’s stubborn as a mule. She believes in people fiercely and will defend the underdog in long, rambling speeches that make you want to cry and then punch something (in a good way). Daphne is creative — paints wildly, writes notes on napkins, sometimes forgets where she put her keys but never forgets to check on someone who’s down. Little quirk: she insists on wearing mismatched socks because “symmetry is suspicious,” which she says seriously and then giggles about five minutes later.

Lev ‘Oz’ Osman

Oz is chaos curated into a human being — brilliant, prickly, and always twenty steps ahead with a grin that says “you didn’t see that coming.” He’s the hacker/adrenaline type who can crack a system and also fix your leaky faucet if you give him pizza; gets bored by small talk but will tell you the history of a Lagos street corner for fun. Loyal in weird tiny ways (like sending memes at 3 a.m.), he hates rules loudly yet secretly keeps receipts for everything — emotional receipts, too, somehow. Oh, and he has a cat named Apocalypse and brings his toolkit to brunch, which is exactly the vibe.

Ava

Ava is the quiet storm — calm on the surface but there’s a brain whirring so fast she forgets to blink sometimes; she notices things other people don’t and then uses them like chess moves. She’s precise, a little mysterious, and can be utterly terrifying when cornered, but will also bake you biscuits that are suspiciously perfect for emotional healing. Ava collects tiny glass bottles for reasons she won’t explain, and she claims to be allergic to strawberries yet decorates her workspace with strawberry-themed trinkets (no explanation, just vibes). She’s the kind of person who speaks softly and suddenly everyone is doing what she suggested five minutes ago.
