3 reasons to watch the new TF1 series with Audrey Fleurot

HPI, it is the new police series of TF1 and it is eagerly awaited. First broadcast this Thursday, April 29 at 9:15 p.m. We will follow the daily life of Morgane, 38, a mother who does odd jobs to make ends meet … Until the police call on her to be consultant on the various ongoing investigations. If Morgane catches the eye of the police, it’s because she has a HPI, a high intellectual potential. The only problem is that she hates cops and working with Commissioner Karadec is not going to be easy.

After seeing the first episode, we admit some reluctance. If it’s a pleasure to see Audrey Fleurot dancing on The Gossip while cleaning, it’s hard to understand why, even at work, Morgane is in a heel and mini-skirt. But it is ultimately a detail when we see how the series makes its heroine a pure badass with a tender heart, with the nuances she deserves … Here are three good reasons to watch the series.

“HPI” offers us a detective series heroine with which we can identify

If the character of Morgane has a high intellectual potential, she remains close to us, telespectateur.ice.s. Her reconstituted family life, her daily life as a mother, the mental load that this implies… All this makes the character endearing and above all, humanizes him. While her insight during police investigations is impressive, the footage showing her in her private life brings her closer to us. From her complicated relationship with her own mother to the one she tries to maintain somehow with her teenage daughter … Morgane is a Madam everyone, who has chained odd jobs and petty struggles, in the now extraordinary professional daily life . This finesse of writing, we owe it to Audrey Fleurot herself, who participated in the development of the character. “I gave my consent, provided I participated in the writing. In the end, I brought it back to me a lot. I made it my clone”, she explains to TeleStar.

The duo Audrey Fleurot and Mehdi Nebbou works wonderfully

The duo of investigator.ice.s formed by Audrey Fleurot and Mehdi Nebbou, interpreter of Karadec in the series, is delicious. Karadec’s character has the professional expertise to channel Morgana (she clearly has a problem with authority). As for Morgane, she brings her teammate out of his comfort zone and teaches him to humanize his work. And it works wonderfully! Moreover, this choice of casting is not trivial since it was Audrey Fleurot herself who asked to work with Mehdi Nebbou. In an interview with RFM, she explains this very important choice for her: “I didn’t want to embark on this adventure without knowing the actor who was going to play my partner. That’s why I allowed myself to propose Mehdi.”

No, “HPI” … is not a series about HPI people

If the TF1 series features a woman with high intellectual potential, she does not pretend to make a docu-fiction about these people. In reality, Morgane is an extraordinary woman who has everything ordinarily, the asset that could well make her one of the most popular heroines of the French small screen. Moreover, Audrey Fleurot explains it very well: the series is not a documentary and it is the narration that was at the center of the work of the writers. “The main author, Alice Chegaray-Breugnot, documented a lot beforehand and I was passionate about the subject, details the actress on the site of TF1. I only saw the good sides but I realized that this specificity is accompanied by many complications and misunderstandings, difficulties in social relations and, often, difficult schooling. Ultimately, it is not necessarily a gift. But the series is not a documentary either. We have taken liberties. ” Take out the popcorn, Morgane is going crazy!
