There's something weirdly refreshing about the premise of The CW's new series “In the Dark.” It's about a young, blind woman, but it avoids all the blind-person cliches.
It’s not that there aren’t people like this in the real world. But generally, characters like this aren’t at the center of a network television show.
Oh, she’s not irredeemable. “In the Dark” revolves around Murphy’s search for a murderer. She stumbles upon the body of Tyson (Thamela Mpumlwana), a teenager who once rescued her from a violent mugger — but by the time police arrive at the scene, the body is gone and nobody believes Murphy’s story.
