This is the PAF phenomenon series. Since the first season broadcast in 2021, HPI (High Intellectual Potential) has experienced real enthusiasm among viewers. Even attracting up to 10 million followers when it debuted on TF1, the detective fiction owes its success in part to its casting.
With actress Audrey Fleurot in the lead, playing the character of Morgane Alvaro, an ex-housekeeper, single mother of three children with an IQ of 160.

Without forgetting the commissioner Céline Hazan (Marie Denarnaud), or the children of Morgane Alvaro, Théa and Eliott (Cypriane Gardin and Noé Vandevoorde). A group of actors who seduce in France, but also beyond our borders.
