HPI (acronym for French: Haut potentiel intellectuel, lit.'high intellectual potential', a French alternative term for giftedness) is a French-Belgian crime-comedy television series.

Created by Stéphane Carrié, Alice Chegaray-Breugnot, and Nicolas Jean, broadcast in Belgium at La Une, since 20 April 2021, in Switzerland at RTS Un, since 27 April 2021, and in France at TF1, since 29 April 2021, the series is a coproduction between Itinéraire Productions, Septembre Productions, TF1, Pictanovo, Be-Films, and RTBF.[1][2]

Synopsis[edit]

Morgane is 38 years old and has 3 children from 2 ex-husbands. Alone, she has to manage her family life in difficult conditions. But she is highly gifted. She has an IQ of 160 and a good dose of insubordination. Her destiny as a housemaid is turned upside down when her extraordinary abilities are spotted by the Lille police, who offer her a job as a consultant. But Morgane has a problem with authority.[3][4]
