It's Always Sunny in Philadelphiaand High Potential star Kaitlin Olson talks her high hopes for the crime drama's second season.

Speaking to Deadline, Olson responded to the question of what topics she would like to cover in High Potential Season 2 by pointing towards the moment in Season 1 when her character breaks down why a supposed gift is anything but, which she noted resonated with more viewers than she expected.

"I definitely want to do more of that, and I also want her to make mistakes, like I said before," Olson continued. "It’s not fun to watch somebody just hit it out of the park every single time, it’s going to get boring.
