## Premise

[edit]

An irreverent blind woman in her twenties, Murphy, drifts through life in a drunken haze. She has only two friends—Jess, her understanding roommate, and Tyson, a teenage drug-dealer who saved her from a violent mugging. Out for a walk with her guide dog, Pretzel, she stumbles upon a corpse that must be Tyson's, but it disappears before the police arrive. When they do not seem inclined to investigate, Murphy clings onto the only thing that can keep her together: figuring out what happened to her friend.[1] She resolves to solve the murder herself, while also managing her colorful dating life and the job she hates at "Guiding Hope", a school run by her parents for training guide dogs. After falling for Max, who is secretly associated with the drug kingpin that employed Tyson, Murphy is dragged into criminal activity and, soon after, pulls friends and acquaintances with her into the criminal underworld.

Murphy, a twenty-something unsocial blind woman, lives a relatively uneventful life full of drunken hookups and chain-smoking, with only Tyson, a teenage drug dealer who befriends her, to confide in. One night, while walking her dog, Murphy stumbles across what she believes to be Tyson's corpse, but when a police investigation turns up nothing, she spirals into depression, culminating in her getting caught cheating with a married man, Bradley, and losing her cane. When she returns to Tyson's old corner, she meets Darnell, Tyson's cousin and supplier, who tells her he's still alive. Bradley's wife, Gayle, rescinds a donation she made to Murphy's parents, driving a wedge between her and her mother Joy, who has given up trying to help her. Out of guilt, Murphy agrees to take a receptionist's job in her family's seeing dog school until she can pay them back. Incensed that no one believes her about Tyson, Murphy takes it upon herself to find him and has his phone's GPS tracked so she can find it. She notifies both Darnell and a friendly cop, Dean, but both discourage her from further investigation. Murphy's roommate Jess tells her that she knows Murphy will try to solve the case anyway.

Joy and Hank organize a "barkery" event to raise money for the school, which Joy expects her daughter to attend. Murphy goes to Darnell for the address, but he refuses to tell her. Instead, she goes on a one-hour date with Max, one of his associates, for the information. Chloe sets her father up with Jade, a hooker from the station. Jess buys a sex toy to improve her relationship with Vanessa. Max takes Murphy to a beach, and then gives her the address. Murphy goes there, visits Tyson's room, and then tells Rhonda the truth. Dean contacts Murphy, and delivers the news that while Tyson's phone was completely wiped, they can now push forward with his case. Max shows up and gets her to agree to have a drink with him.

Murphy makes up for the embarrassment by offering Felix a cigarette and encouraging him to start standing up for himself. Dean tries to help Chloe deal with her first period; Murphy comes to help by roasting Chloe at her request.

Dean encourages her to go to the funeral, but she gets kicked out after arguing with Jaime. Darnell, however, leaves the door open so she can listen from outside. Rhonda finds video recordings of Murphy on Tyson's computer and reaches out to her, giving her a small jar of his ashes which she then spreads across a lake.

## Production

[edit]

Filming for In the Dark in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

### Development

[edit]

The series was created by Corinne Kingsbury for The CW, to debut during the 2018–19 television season.[56][57] On January 30, 2018, The CW officially ordered the pilot.[58] The series was greenlit on May 11, 2018.[59]

In the Dark is the first CW primetime series to carry Descriptive Video Service audio, though The CW, as a minor network, is not required to have any DVS provisions under the regulations for audio description for their affiliates, so the base of stations carrying that track is smaller than other networks where carriage of descriptive video is required. The series premiered on April 4, 2019.[60] On April 24, 2019, The CW renewed the series for a second season,[61] that was originally scheduled to premiere on May 28, 2020,[62] however it was moved to premiere date on April 16, 2020.[63] On January 7, 2020, the series was renewed for a third season which premiered on June 23, 2021.[64][65] On February 3, 2021, The CW renewed the series for a fourth season which premiered on June 6, 2022.[66][67] On May 12, 2022, The CW announced that the fourth season will be its last.[68]

### Casting

[edit]

On March 2, 2018, it was announced that Perry Mattfeld had been cast in the protagonist role of Murphy in the series' pilot, along with Brooke Markham as Jess, Murphy's roommate and best friend, and Keston John as Darnell, a local drug dealer;[69] followed on March 9 with Kathleen York as Joy, Murphy's mother, and Derek Webster as Hank, Joy's husband.[70] Austin Nichols was cast as Dean, a cop with a blind daughter, on March 12.[71] On May 16, 2018, The CW announced that the role of Dean had been recast;[72] with Nichols thereafter replaced by Rich Sommer on July 13, 2018.[73] On September 10, 2019, Matt Murray was cast in a recurring role for the second season.[2]

The show received some criticism for casting a sighted actor to play a blind character. British actor James Moore, who plays a disabled character in the soap opera Emmerdale and has a disability himself, argued that disabled actors will always be better placed to play disabled roles due to their life experience.[74] On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, critics worried that the "questionable treatment of physical handicaps may leave some viewers with a dim impression."[75] During a panel discussion at the Television Critics Association press tour, executive producer Nicky Weinstock defended the choices, claiming that they initially auditioned blind actors, but ultimately cast Perry because she was the best actor for the role.[76]

### Filming

[edit]

Filming on the pilot began on March 12, 2018,[77] in Toronto, Ontario, Canada;[78] and wrapped on March 28.[77] Principal photography on season 1 began on August 8, 2018, and ended on December 21, 2018.[79] Principal photography for the second season began on August 19, 2019, and ended on January 24, 2020, in Toronto and Cambridge,[80] Ontario, Canada.[81] Filming for the series' third season began on November 2, 2020, and concluded on April 21, 2021.[82] Filming for the fourth and final season began on November 29, 2021, and concluded on May 31, 2022.[83]

## Broadcast

[edit]

In the Dark premiered on The CW on April 4, 2019 and ended on September 5, 2022.[84]

In Canada, the series premiered on April 4, 2019, on Bravo!.[85] The series continues to be broadcast on the channel, which is now branded as CTV Drama Channel. In fall 2020, the second season was re-run on CTV 2 starting September 15.[86]

## Reception

[edit]

### Critical response

[edit]

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the series holds an approval rating of 73% based on 15 reviews, with an average rating of 7.16/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Perry Mattfield is compelling as an amateur sleuth In the Dark, although the series' recycling of mystery tropes and questionable treatment of physical handicaps may leave some viewers with a dim impression."[75] On Metacritic, it has a weighted average score of 54 out of 100, based on 6 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[87]
