Hulu has a perfect three-season crime show for High Potential fans. Following its debut on ABC in 2024, High Potential received critical acclaim and became a massive network television hit. The series is centered on Morgan Gillory (Kaitlin Olson), who becomes an LAPD consultant and helps them solve crimes through her exceptionally high IQ and unique way of thinking. She works alongside Detective Adam Karadec (Daniel Sunjata), who is an ardent rule follower and initially skeptical of Morgan.
Following a 96% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes for season 1, High Potential season 2 reviews were even better, leading to a 100% Tomatometer score. After new episodes air on ABC, they are available to stream on Hulu, as are all previous episodes. In between new episodes and seasons, Hulu has another great crime series that fans can watch.
High Potential’s Daniel Sunjata Plays Paul Briggs In Graceland
11 years before High Potential premiered, Sunjata played Paul Briggs in the pilot episode of Graceland, created by White Collar‘s Jeff Eastin. The crime series, which ran for three seasons on the USA Network before being canceled, centers on a group of six undercover law enforcement agents who live together in a seized California beach house called Graceland as they take on various criminal cases and attempt to maintain their cover. There are both procedural case-of-the-week episodes and more serialized storylines.
Briggs is a Senior FBI Agent with a legendary reputation. However, the FBI has concerns about him being corrupt, which is why rookie FBI Agent Mike Warren (Aaron Tveit) is sent to Graceland with the secret mission of investigating and uncovering the truth about Briggs. The other agents in the house include FBI Agent Charlie DeMarco (Vanessa Ferlito), FBI Agent Johnny Tuturro (Manny Montana), DEA Agent Paige Arkin (Serinda Swan), and U.S. Customs Agent Dale “Jakes” Jenkins (Brandon Jay McLaren), all of whom navigate complex personal and professional dynamics among their found family. Pedro Pascal also plays a recurring role in season 1.
Briggs Is The Exact Opposite Of High Potential’s Karadec (And It’s What Makes Graceland Great)
Other than working for law enforcement and being played by the same actor, Karadec and Briggs have little in common, but this is why Graceland is a compelling watch for High Potential fans. Karedec is a by-the-book rule follower and has a strong moral code. Briggs, on the other hand, constantly breaks rules, has a very flexible moral code, and is frequently manipulating others, even the agents he cares about and lives with at Graceland.
Briggs helps set Graceland apart from other crime shows by his unpredictable nature and as he leaves the characters and the audience guessing what his actual endgame and motivations are during each season. Whether it is justified for him to cross certain moral boundaries is a question that viewers have to decide for themselves, especially once all the pieces of his machinations come together. It’s a question that High Potential fans can consider as they binge-watch Graceland‘s three seasons consisting of 39 episodes on Hulu.
