American (English) remake of the French series HPI (2021)

Line of Events

Follows Morgan, a single mother of three, and how her extraordinary mind enables her to help solve a crime by rearranging evidence during her shift as a police cleaner. Despite her very high IQ, excellent memory, and extensive knowledge of the arcane, Morgan makes a number of basic legal errors that anyone who has ever watched a legal show on TV should avoid.

Remake of HPI (2021)

In episode one, for example, she obtains a document from a locked safe in the suspect/victim’s law office that would never be admissible in court — illegally obtained evidence. Nor could it be used to obtain other evidence — a violation of the legal doctrine of the «fruit of the poisonous tree.» In episode 2, she has to be reminded to wear gloves before touching evidence at a crime scene, and in episode 3, she removes all documented evidence from the police station, completely breaking the chain of evidence and making everything she removed inadmissible in court as well.

She is likable and entertaining

High Potential is a charming new series in the crime drama genre. The main character of the series is a strong, independent, highly intelligent but vulnerable woman raising three children.

Kaitlin Olson is fantastic as Morgan

The way the series develops crime solving is interesting and has some great comedic moments. She delivers a performance that makes you instantly like her character and want to know more.

It’s a quirky, fun hour of entertainment

Judy Reyes and Daniel Suniata are great in their supporting roles. Even the kids act well and add some comedic moments to the series.
