Kaitlin Olson Is Solidly Quirky in ABC’s Sufficient Cop Drama ‘High Potential’: TV Review


With a quirky style and some bizzare cases, "High Potential" delivers just a little more than the average cop drama.

Created by Drew Goddard and based on the French show “Haut Potentiel Intellectuel (HPI),” ABC’s “ High Potential ” follows Morgan ( Kaitlin Olson), a professional cleaner and single mother of three, whose distinct vantage point and genius-level IQ lands her a consulting role in the Los Angeles Police Department’s Homicide Division. Olson — an Emmy nominee for “Hacks,” and a longtime member of the company of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” — is more than capable as Morgan, a woman who appears content to walk to the beat of her own drum, even when it grates the nerves of her eldest daughter Ava (Amirah J) and Karadec. Though it first appears that a man has overdosed and accidentally drowned in a hotel bathroom, the case quickly morphs into a deeply complex crime involving stolen identity, greed, scamming and vengeance.
