31/36
American remake (English) of the French version HPI series (2021)
Line of Events
It follows Morgan, a single mother of three, and how, thanks to her exceptional mind, she can help solve a crime while rearranging the evidence during her shift as a nanny at the police department. Despite her very high IQ, excellent memory and extensive knowledge of the arcana, Morgan makes a series of basic legal mistakes that anyone has ever watched . The law TV show would know not to do.
Remake of HPI (2021)
In episode one, for example, she obtains a document from a locked safe in the suspect-victim’s law office that would never be admissible in court—illegally obtained evidence. It also could not be used to obtain other evidence – violating the legal doctrine of “fruit of the poisonous tree.” In episode 2, she has to be reminded to wear gloves before handling evidence at the crime scene, and in #3, she removes all the documented evidence from the police station, completely breaking the chain of custody and making everything she removed not let it be. admissible in a court of law..
Episode 3 is where it really derails and I hope episode 4 really picks up
Ok, the series is off to a great start and Kaitlin Olson delivers a solid performance. The series is very similar to the TBS series Monk, where a borderline Asperger helps the police solve crimes. Again, the show is solid so far, but not as weird or fun to watch as Monk, but it’s a fun watch.
Tactics that would invalidate a case
In this episode, she is overly entitled and obstructive on a case. She retrieves evidence from the police station, handles the evidence and contaminates it. REPERCUSSIONS?
Again, hoping it gets better with Episode 4
Zero…. It’s almost distracting how annoying she is in this episode. She shows little or no evidence of self-awareness or contrition for her actions.
