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

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

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

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

Caroline Framke

In the Dark, to its detriment, is so determined to mash up several cliches into one series that it has real trouble coming together as its own entity. Read full review

This is by far the dullest show I've seen in a while! It is mundane, repetitive and lacks anything intriguing. The story is too dry and straightforward. The only good thing is the performance by the lead actress, rest of the show is a mess. This had potential in the pilot episode but youThis is by far the dullest show I've seen in a while! It is mundane, repetitive and lacks anything intriguing. The story is too dry and straightforward. The only good thing is the performance by the lead actress, rest of the show is a mess. This had potential in the pilot episode but you will quickly realize that there will be nothing more. The main story line is dull and the characters including that of the blind girl lack depth. Overall you can watch it if you like to watch something new with a unique blind main character.… Expand
