HIGH POTENTIAL 1.02: Dancers in the Dark

I really love how Daniel Sunjata plays Karadec, portraying him as empathetic and kind, but in a quiet, serious way. He believes in what he’s doing, but the job has worn him down.

It makes his dynamic with Morgan really appealing, bc you get the sense she’s the first person to make him smile in a very long time. (And she’s not even really trying! She’s just joking like she always does. There’s just something in Morgan that reaches Karadec in a way no one else can.)

I feel like their partnership is going to grow in this way, and it’ll be super interesting to watch. Especially how they have a dangerous job, and part of Karadec’s role is to protect his consultant, bc she doesn’t have police training. A “It’s my job to protect you” combined with “If I lose you, I’ll lose the light you’ve brought into my world” mindset is one of my fav ship dynamics.

HIGH POTENTIAL 1.03 "Dirty Rotten Scoundrel"

“Why does everyone feel like they have the right to call me stupid?”

Honestly that’s such a real line. Smart women are constantly belittled for their intelligence, then when they exhibit the personality traits associated with a high IQ, they’re called stupid, usually by men who feel threatened and want to go after what they know is simultaneously one of the biggest thing they have confidence in and the biggest thing they’re shamed for.
