IN THE DARK

CW | 5 Episodes | 2019–2022

I came aboard the first season of “In The Dark” when it was pitched as a dark comedy about a blind woman, Murphy, who gets caught up in a criminal underworld. Well, it quickly veered into pure thriller territory. And what-do-you-know: I had a blast working outside of my usual tone. I returned often through its four season run. Within the twisty plot, creator Corinne Kingsbury created a lovely story about friendship under intense stakes. I was always thinking about point-of-view, as we experience the stories primarily through Murphy. I learned so much from our blind creative team, and Perry Mattfeld’s studied portrayal of blindness.
