Season 1 Review: In the Dark is a good show with a lot of promise, and it deserves to be seen and not buried, burned off, or overlooked. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The show’s creative team, headed by creator Corinne Kingsbury and including Ben Stiller, so far have put together a show that’s surprisingly and bracingly watchable. Read full review

Boston HeraldMark A. PerigardApr 2, 2019
Season 1 Review: Mattfeld delivers a nuanced performance as a woman who has chosen to meet the world with hostility as a calculated defense. No matter how middling the story, she’s always worth watching. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenApr 1, 2019
Season 1 Review: In episode two the tone lightens up a good bit – you can see network notes at work – and more typical CW storylines set in, including a romance with a bearded hunk (Casey Deidrick). This makes “In the Dark” more bearable but less unique. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The CW's new dramedy In the Dark may have started with the kernel of a good idea, only to get so larded up with embellishments and misguided genre detours that the actual show premiering Thursday is watchable mostly with a sense of incredulity. Read full review
