These days the line between movie star and TV star is blurred, as Oscar winners and other A-listers take on roles in various TV projects (i.e., Nicole Kidman in The Perfect Couple, Expats and Lioness season 2 in 2024 alone). But let's take a moment to truly appreciate the TV stars that have made their name on the "small screen" and deliver time and again on various shows. One example: Katilin Olson.
Olson leads the new ABC crime show High Potential, which premieres on the network on Tuesday, September 17, at 10 pm ET/PT. Based on the French TV show HPI, High Potential follows Morgan, a cleaning lady with an IQ of more than 160 who uses her knowledge and insights to help the Los Angeles Police Department solve cases. Olson is very good in the show, for which she also serves as a producer, bringing a spark of energy to the proceedings and occasionally being brash, as she has little time to suffer fools. She also effectively portrays the different layers of Morgan, a single mom struggling to support her kids.
