Kaitlin Olson Shines in High Potential – A Fast-Paced Crime-Solving Adventure
You know when a show comes along that’s so energetic, so fast-talking, and so unapologetically fun that you just can’t look away? Well, that’s exactly what Disney+ has delivered with High Potential , and let me tell you—it’s a wild ride.

At the heart of it all is the fantastic Kaitlin Olson, best known for her unhinged brilliance in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia . Here, she trades in her bar stool at Paddy’s Pub for a mop and a badge—sort of. Olson plays Morgan, a cleaner for the LAPD who just happens to have crime-solving superpowers. Not in a sci-fi way, but in an almost Sherlock Holmes meets Columbo way, with a splash of Kristen Bell’s Veronica Mars energy. She’s got an off-the-charts IQ, a photographic memory, and a knack for spotting minuscule details that even the most seasoned detectives miss. And did I mention she does all this while rocking leopard-print coats and thigh-high boots? Because she absolutely does.
The premise might sound outlandish, and let’s be honest, it totally is—but that’s part of the fun. This isn’t some brooding, atmospheric crime drama dripping with existential angst. No, this is fast, quippy, high-energy detective work wrapped in a glossy, comedic package. Olson’s Morgan is a whirlwind, spouting zingers at breakneck speed while outthinking everyone in the room. She’s a single mom, she’s got a messy life, and somehow, she’s also solving crimes before anyone else has even had their morning coffee.
Of course, every great lead needs a foil, and here we have Adam Karadec, played by Daniel Sunjata ( The Devil Wears Prada fans, you’ll remember him as James Holt). He’s the by-the-book cop, procedural and grumpy, and Morgan is the chaotic genius who drives him up the wall. Their chemistry? Absolute gold.
Yes, there are moments where the show stretches credibility. I mean, let’s be real—if a cleaning lady showed up at a crime scene and started solving murders better than trained detectives, there would be some major HR discussions. But who cares? High Potential isn’t here to be realistic. It’s here to be fun, to be entertaining, and to give us a break from the dreariness of reality.
Drew Goddard, the mastermind behind The Good Place , is at the helm, so you already know it’s packed with sharp writing, clever twists, and plenty of “aha!” moments. The pacing is lightning-fast—so much so that you might need a break between episodes just to catch your breath. And if you’re a fan of dialogue-heavy shows, this one delivers in spades. If Morgan and Gilmore Girls’ Lorelai ever ended up in the same room, I swear the sheer volume of words per minute would cause the universe to collapse in on itself.
Bottom line? If you’re looking for something deep and thought-provoking, this might not be your show. But if you want high-octane, fast-talking, case-cracking chaos led by a powerhouse like Kaitlin Olson, then High Potential is exactly what your brain needs. It’s smart, it’s funny, and it’s an absolute blast to watch. And honestly, in a world that’s feeling pretty heavy these days, that’s more than enough reason to tune in.
So, go ahead—grab some popcorn, fire up Disney+, and let Olson do the cognitive gymnastics while you sit back and enjoy the ride.
