Sight Unseen

After the second episode you can see that this series may actually start to grow, and could get quite interesting over time, as the main character comes to terms with her blindness. She obviously has to give up lots, and being a full time cop probably won't work out for her, so she is going to have to adapt. The relationship between Tess and Sunny is going to be the key to the thing in order to make it work. I think I will keep watching to see where it ends up, I don't think judging it by just the first episode is the right thing, there are a fair number of possibilities, and the procedural audience may come to enjoy it.

The previous reviewer must have limited imagination and eyesight because I saw quite the opposite. It doesn't have special effects (good), it doesn't have too much violence, so far (good). It makes you wonder what it would be like to not be able too see but try to live a normal life while trying to catch criminals. Also, having a beautiful agoraphobe available at your fingertips doesn't hurt. The lead male is pretty good and the Inspector is a solid figure we've seen in many Cdn shows. It doesn't have "high end gloss" thankfully, that's left to Hollywood.

You don't see many TV dramas like this, and all the actors are pretty good at the same time.

I have to really wonder why anyone would come to a show that is advertised as a blind detective solving cases, and then rate it one star because it's about a blind detective solving cases. Seriously.

First of all, this is television. It is supposed to be entertaining, not uber-realistic. This is a story about an unusually intelligent and observant detective who uses a third party to be her "eyes" and tell her what is going on. Agreed that is a stretch. Perhaps more than a stretch. But that is also what it's advertised to be, so what was everyone expecting?

Kudos to those who had the sensibility to rate this 7+ stars. This has good acting, good directing, an interesting plot and story line, and while yes, at times it may jump the (very small) shark, it holds together pretty well. The characters work well together and the story is FICTIONALLY plausible. (You 1-star people do realize this is fiction, right?)

Overall an entertaining and enjoyable show for those who are not so jaded they've forgotten how to enjoy a good TV show. One thing I do wish: I wish they had hired actually blind actors to play the parts and make them more convincing. The show is still enjoyable.

I recognize this series isn't perfect, which is why I give it 8 stars. People giving it 1 star isn't indicative of a bad show; it's indicative of a bad review. On the plus side, I notice such negative reviews themselves received negative reviews. Justice is served. ;D.

This show is a really fun watch for anyone who likes mystery/crime solving, female leads, and/or disability representation. (Side note: the actors who have visual impairment in the show actually do in real life, and there was representation in the writer's room as well.) It's a drama, but there's enough camp and quips that it's not a stressful watch, which is personally exactly what I'm looking for after a long day. The mysteries aren't super complicated but they're well composed, and it's fun to follow along with the clues.

The people leaving negative reviews because "it's not realistic for a cop to be blind" clearly haven't watched the show, because she leaves the force immediately; I'm not even calling that a spoiler because it happens in the first few minutes of the first episode. The point is that she's grappling with what it means for her life that she has to give up things that she cared about and adapt to her new reality. If you or anyone you've known have ever dealt with a life-changing injury/illness it's very relatable, and refreshing to actually see portrayed on screen.

I took off one star for some pacing issues; they're squeezing a lot of stuff into a pretty short timeframe and it's more successful in some places than others, but overall I definitely recommend checking it out and I hope it gets another season.

Not usually my kind of show (so much violence in the world these days, do we really need more on TV?) but I was pleasantly surprised. First, there's not too much violence, minus the initial body/murder victim. And I only caught the last few episodes but you get the gist pretty quickly: a blind consultant partners with her guide all the way over in new york who never leaves her house (and is hilarious btw). The mysteries aren't super complicated but the concept is cool and it's straightforward entertainment for a Monday night with intersting dynamics between the cops, the consultant and her guide. Last episode in the police station was the best so far, will keep watching!
