The TV Series "High Potential" on ABC is based on a French TV Series Haut Potentiel Intellectuel (HPI) starring Audrey Fleurot and Mehdi Nebbou. The plot remains the same, a single mom with three kids and an exceptional mind helps solve an unsolvable crime when she rearranges some evidence during her shift as a cleaner for the police department. When they discover she has a knack for putting things in order because of her HIP (High Intellectual Potential), she is brought on as a consultant to work with a by-the-book seasoned detective, and together they form an unusual and unstoppable team. Czech and Slovakian localized versions of this show are also being produced.

Kaitlin Olson as Morgan leads a chaotic, hand-to-mouth existence in spite of (or because of) her IQ of 160. Assertive, fearless and possessed with a serious anti-authority streak, Morgan is able to spot details that others ignore as the white noise of life.

Tired of waiting for High Potential to be released on ABC. The streaming of all 3 seasons of the original (2021) French TV Series HIP - High Intellectual Potential (HPI - Haut Potentiel Intellectuel) on July 12, 2024 on Hulu might just be the thing to hold you over until the U.S. remake launches. Seasons 1, 2 and 3 are 8 episodes each. Season 4 is currently airing in France, but there was no mention of a Hulu acquisition.

One night, while working as a cleaning lady in a police station, Morgane can’t resist “tidying up” the elements on an investigation board. When the cops return the next day, they realize she’s brought them a giant step closer to finding the suspect. It turns out Morgane has High Intellectual Potential. But her 160 IQ has never really helped Morgane in her everyday life!

After questioning her and testing her method, the police decide to bring her on board to help them track down and catch highly intelligent criminals. Despite the mismatched duo she forms with the brigade’s captain, their first joint effort is a success.

Morgane strikes a deal with the cops: she agrees to work for them, but in exchange, they have to work for her, reopening a missing persons investigation into her first true love, who vanished fifteen years ago when she was pregnant with their child.

Great cast, but based on the previews, this looks awful. I only posted this because each time I see the ad for it, I am further annoyed.

It might be fun if they would turn the lights on, so we can see what's happening.

I'm hoping this is good.  It starts tonight at 10 PM Eastern.  I hadn't heard a thing about it until just now, when I read this Times profile of Olsen, the lead.

“A procedural in the vein of ‘Columbo’ or ‘Murder, She Wrote,’”🧐

Didn't read the article, so maybe they explained it that made sense, but I don't see that at all.  Maybe Murder, She Wrote, because I didn't watch that much or really remember it, but I definitely don't see Columbo in this show.
