American series (English) Remake HPI (2021) in France

Tale

It follows Morgan, a single mother of three, and thanks to her exceptional mind, she is able to help solve a crime when she reconstructs evidence during her shift as a janitor at the police department. Despite her very high IQ, excellent memory, and extensive knowledge of the arcane, Morgan commits a series of fundamental blunders in law that no one has ever done before. I watched a TV legal show that said no. In the first episode, for example, she retrieves a document from a locked safe in the suspect’s law office – the victim’s office – evidence that would never be admissible in court – evidence obtained illegally.

Admissible in court

Nor could it be used to obtain other evidence – « the fruit of the poisonous tree »; Violation of the legal principle of In episode #2, she has to be reminded to wear gloves before handling evidence at a crime scene, and in #3, she removes all the documentary evidence from the police station, completely breaking the chain of custody and further destroying everything she removed. HPI Reprint (2021). At first I thought this was going to be a comedy like Psych! Or a silly comedy like Always Sunny.

And they’re fraternal twins, The Mentalist

I mean, the only characters I’ve seen Kaitlin Olson play are crazy women with a sense of humor. If that’s what you like about her, don’t worry, she definitely brings both qualities to this role. But she somehow does it in a mature way. The first episode I’ve seen so far, but it seems to be the same series as the aforementioned Psych!

The first episode was enjoyable and I hope the show continues

Olsen plays a character with a very high IQ who suffers from a type of OCD where she obsesses over unnecessary things. She also has a keen sense of observation and uses that intelligence to help the local police solve crimes. This is not a dramatic detective show, but it is not a comedy played for laughs either. It is a light action crime show like ABC’s The Rookie and it really gives me vibes from FX’s brilliant early 2000s series Rescue Me.

Same lines, with enough dark humor to make it funny but without becoming a joke
