American (English) remake of the French TV series HPI (2021)
Plot
It tells the story of Morgan, a single mother of three, and how, thanks to her exceptional mind, she can help solve a crime by interpreting evidence during her shift as a cleaner at the police department. Despite his very high IQ, excellent memory and extensive knowledge of secrets, Morgan makes a number of basic legal mistakes that anyone who has ever watched a TV legal show would know not to make. In the first episode, for example, she takes out of a locked safe in the lawyer’s office of the suspect-victim a document that will never be accepted in court – evidence obtained illegally. It also could not be used to obtain other evidence, which is a violation of the “fruit of the poisonous tree” legal doctrine.
admissible in court
In episode 2, she has to be reminded that she needs to wear gloves before handling crime scene evidence, and in #3, she takes all the documented evidence from the police station, completely breaking the chain of custody and making everything she removed more not necessary. Remake of HPI (2021). At first I thought that it would be a comedy in the spirit of “Psychology”! Or an absurd comedy like “It’s always sunny”.
And this is the twin brother, the Mentalist
I mean, the only characters I’ve ever seen Caitlin Olson play are badass women with a very sarcastic sense of humor. If that’s what you like about her, don’t worry, she definitely brings both of those qualities to this role. But somehow she does it in an adult way. Although the first series is all that I have seen so far, it seems that this is a series similar to the aforementioned “Psycho”!
The first episode was enjoyable, and I hope the show continues
In it, Olson plays a character with an extremely high IQ who also suffers from a form of OCD in which she obsesses over things that are irrelevant. She also has a very fine observation, and she uses these quirks to help the local police in solving crimes. This is not a dramatic detective series, but it is not a comedy played for laughs either. It’s a light crime thriller similar to ABC’s The Newbie, and it even gives me the vibe of the brilliant FX series Save Me from the early 2000s.
