But after noticing a suspect has been wrongly identified while doing her rounds as the night-shift janitor, Morgan leaves her corrections for the detectives to find the next morning. And when her theories are proven right, the cops\u2019 grumbling gives way to gratitude \u2014 and leads to a new consultancy job for the forty-something with a 160 IQ, three kids and no relevant experience or expertise beyond \u201cwatching a lot of documentaries\u201d.So begins High Potential, a case-of-the-week procedural (based on the French-Belgian series Haut Potentiel Intellectuel) that freshens up a familiar formula by swapping a grizzled cynic for an affably shambolic crime-solver. She is played by Kaitlin Olson, best known for her role in the long-running sitcom It\u2019s Always Sunny In Philadelphia as the unsavoury Sweet Dee: a character more likely to be implicated in a nefarious scheme than busting one.After 20 years in the part, Olson perhaps can\u2019t help but bring some of Dee\u2019s irreverence to Morgan, whose blas\u00e9 genius riles her smug supervisor (Daniel Sunjata). But she also imbues the rookie with a natural charm that carries the show through some laboriously plotted episodes.Sure it\u2019s fun to see Morgan scythe through cases with her sharp eye and brilliant brain \u2014 stuffed with facts on everything from medieval architecture to Madagascan tailoring \u2014 and pick holes in suspects\u2019 stories or colleagues\u2019 theories. But after a couple of episodes things start to get repetitive, especially since the cases themselves provide little intrigue or jeopardy.Attempts to add dramatic heft are well intentioned but uninspired. We don\u2019t need a trite speech to work out that Morgan\u2019s obsessive, hyper-focused mind prevents her from leading a stable, structured life. And while subplots about Morgan\u2019s search for a missing partner or her fraught relationship with a mopey teen daughter introduce personal stakes, they don\u2019t really cohere with breezy-humoured scenes that are more reminiscent of workplace sitcoms.Still, a show can do a lot worse than get by on the strength of its star. And after two decades as perhaps the most underexposed member of the Sunny ensemble, it\u2019s nice to see Olson realise her potential as a series lead. \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606\u2606Episodes 1&2 on Disney+ from January 23.
