Based on a French series, this American crime comedy-drama television series on ABC stars Kaitlin Olson as Morgan Gillory, an intellectually gifted cleaning woman with an IQ of 160 who uses her unorthodox thinking to become a police consultant.

The American crime comedy-drama television series on ABC, starring Kaitlin Olson as Morgan Gillory, is titled High Potential (Review). This show is an adaptation of the successful French-Belgian series "HPI" (Haut Potentiel Intellectuel), which originally premiered in 2021 and stars Audrey Fleurot as Morgane Alvaro. Both versions feature a highly intelligent, unconventional cleaning woman who becomes an indispensable police consultant.

In "High Potential," Kaitlin Olson's character, Morgan Gillory, is a single mother of three with an extraordinary IQ of 160. Her sharp mind and unorthodox (Review) approach to problem-solving are discovered when she, as a cleaning woman at the Los Angeles Police Department, notices inconsistencies in an ongoing murder case and helps solve it. This leads to her recruitment as a civilian consultant for the LAPD's Major Crimes Division, where she partners with the disciplined Detective Adam Karadec, whose by-the-book methods often clash with Morgan's intuitive style.

The original French series, "HPI," was a massive hit, setting viewership records in France. Its success led to multiple international adaptations, including the American version on ABC. While "High Potential" maintains the core premise of a brilliant, quirky woman assisting law enforcement, the American adaptation, according to its showrunner, aimed for a slightly more "grounded" portrayal of Morgan compared to her French counterpart, while still retaining her bold and brash personality. The series blends crime-solving with comedic elements and explores Morgan's chaotic personal life alongside her professional endeavors.
