Fans claim it is one of the best crime dramas on TV right now
High Potential fans have discovered an ideal binge-watch while waiting for the hit crime drama to return.
R.J. Decker has been described as the ‘best detective show‘ by some, as they eagerly anticipate the return of the Kaitlin Olson-starring series.
High Potential is expected to make a comeback with its third season sometime in early 2027. That was after it caused a stir following a double cliffhanger in its final episode.
Production is underway, with new showrunners at the helm promising to deliver more of the crime-solving adventures fans have grown to love. In the meantime, though, the US network has produced another crime drama with a similar vibe, and so far, audiences have given it their mark of approval.
R.J. Decker is aired on the same channel as High Potential, that means that it is also available in the same place for UK based viewers. All episodes of R.J. Decker are accessible via Disney+.
According to its synopsis, the series follows Decker, a former newspaper photographer who is trying to start a new life as a private investigator in South Florida after spending some time behind bars.
Episodes across the first season see him tackling cases that range from slightly odd to outright bizarre, with the help of his journalist ex, her police detective wife, his former cellmate-turned confidant, and a shadowy woman from his past.
The story is based on Carl Hiaasen’s novel Double Whammy and was created for the screen by Rob Doherty. Doherty previously made the Sherlock Holmes-inspired series Elementary.

Fans of High Potential have been sharing their thoughts on R.J. Decker. One person shared on Reddit: “Has anyone here seen RJ Decker yet. It’s only got one season out so far but has the same feel as High Potential. I don’t want to share too much if you haven’t seen it, but I recommend checking it out.”
One replied with a confession as they said: “I really liked it!! I honestly liked it better than High Potential season 2”
While R.J. Decker has not managed to score as highly on Rotten Tomatoes as High Potential, fans are full of praise for it. One posted: “Best detective show on TV in a long time! I like that there is a mystery that wraps up each week with the underlying story about his conviction. They capture the Florida ambiance well and RJ is believable and you find yourself rooting for him and his family.”
Another added: “There’s nothing to NOT like about RJ Decker. It’s just a fantastic series. Very rewatchable as well. Excellent cast led by Scott Speedman and very well-written. The soundtrack nails it in every episode.”
While someone else commented: “Riveting crime drama that exceeds expectations. RJ Decker is a gripping, brilliantly crafted series that delivers everything you could want in a crime drama, sharp writing, compelling characters, and nonstop intrigue.”
They continued: “The show masterfully blends suspense, mystery, and emotional depth, with RJ Decker standing out as a complex, charismatic lead whose intelligence and determination keep you invested from start to finish.”
R.J. Decker is streaming on Disney+.
