Created by Academy Award-nominated writer Drew Goddard (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Alias) and based on the hit French series, police procedural High Potential looks to be an absolute hoot.

It’s a delight to see Olson, best known for playing barfly "Sweet Dee" Reynolds on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, taking center stage. For this American adaptation of HPI: Haut Potentiel Intellectuel, she sports rubber gloves and a trademark lollipop as Morgan, a single mother raising three children on a cleaner’s salary. Yet she’s got an incredible intellect.
