Kaitlin Olson is one of the most versatile actresses currently working in TV. She's proven her excellent physical comedy skills (as well as her verbal ones) on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, with her dramatic side rising up to shine in full on High Potential. It's been both impressive and extremely enjoyable to watch as a longtime fan, and I love the ways Olson has said being a network TV lead has played into public interactions with fans.
I'm far from the only viewer highly impressed by how well Kaitlin Olson has transitioned into what may become her biggest TV role to date. High Potential has maintained a chunk of its massive freshman-season viewership across the 2025 TV schedule, particularly where delayed-viewing stats are included, making it so millions and millions of audience members are familiar with her as an LAPD consultant with a photographic memory. Speaking with Esquire, Olson shared that Super Bowl Sunday 2025 is currently her go-to response when asked about the best day of her life, entirely due to High Potential fans.
