Public Holiday Fest Streaming 26' - High Potential - Season Two

High Potential, marks the second network series (I watch) to conclude, somewhat early. Usually these series end mid May, however this year. These shows are either starting later (like in October, rather than September) and ending around a month earlier.

The ABC series is based on the 2021 Franco-Belgian television series HPI : Haut potentiel intellectuel.

Starring Kaitlin Olson as Morgan Gillory, an intellectually gifted cleaning woman who becomes a police consultant. Also starring are Daniel Sunjata as Morgan's partner Adam Karadec and Judy Reyes as Selena Soto, the head of their unit. 

Last month, the series was renewed for a third season. We will find out next month whether it stays on Tuesdays or moves nights. In Australia this series streamed on Disney+.

Adding five episodes to its second successful run. The eighteenth episodes saw, a woman who is one half of a TV celeb couple is found dead by the pool of a hotel, which happens to be the same hotel that Lucia works. 

Morgan is not sure that Karadec can stay objective when Lucia is suspected of being involved. It's later revealed the murderer was a con-artist and Lucia's ex-boyfriend; Lucia is arrested as an accessory due to hiding evidence of the murder. 

Meanwhile, Morgan and Wagner meet with Quinn and Wagner Sr. to gain information on Roman. Quinn warns Morgan about what she's getting into, but gives her a file that Lyla Flynn, the FBI Agent that Roman worked with, was actually dirty, and planned on coming clean, but was killed by Roman. 

At home, Ava needs an idea for an art project, and tears up pieces of Roman's art to make it. While at Ava's art show, Morgan gets called by Wagner to meet a possible informant. 

A shadowy figure watches Ava from a distance, as Morgan goes to meet Wagner, only to find him bleeding from a bullet wound in his back.

Cliffhanger alert. Who murdered Shameless star Steve Howey as Nick Wagner? Why was he only in the show for one long season?

Time will tell when High Potential (maybe ABC's most successful drama) returns most likely later this year. Will it be September or October? Time will tell. CBC have their upfronts announcement next week. With the majority of their series concluding in October.
