Based on the French TV series HPI, ABC's HIGH POTENTIAL sees Kaitlin Olson play Morgan, single mother and night janitor for the LAPD. In the pilot, Morgan happens to spot a problem on an investigation board and alters the board to point police in the right direction. This annoys the lead detective (Daniel Sunjata) but impresses his superior (Judy Reyes). Under pressure from recent department failures, the boss orders him to work with Morgan.
The pilot depicts the friction between the police and Morgan and between Morgan's home life and potential new work. The show reminds me of MONK and PSYCH, but just as Adrian Monk is different from Shawn Spencer, Morgan is different from both, and I think Olson will keep her engaging.
