In High Potential, Olson plays Morgan, a single mom with a high IQ who begins assisting with police investigations thanks to her unconventional wit. The series was based on a French show with a similar premise. Daniel Sunjata, Javicia Leslie, Judy Reyes, and Taran Killam also star. Here is the official description:
Starring Kaitlin Olson, High Potential follows a single mom with an exceptional mind, whose unconventional knack for solving crimes leads to an unusual and unstoppable partnership with a by-the-book seasoned detective (Daniel Sunjata). The series is based on the popular French series “Haut Potentiel Intellectuel (HPI)”.
Olson has described Morgan as “very flawed, very mouthy,” but she has depth that many other Olson characters don’t. “This woman is very grounded. She is a very loving mother. I’m a very loving mother. That wasn’t so hard to jump into,” she said.
