'In the Dark' places Perry Mattfeld's Murphy as the anti-hero we want to see more of

Everyone truly believes there's no hope for her in life, until Murphy stumbles on a dead body on a walk with her guide dog Pretzel.

If you haven't caught up with CW's latest offering 'In the Dark', you're really missing out. Not only does the series take the opportunity to shed some serious light on the day to day lives of people living with blindness but it also manages to do one more thing - give us a kickass anti-hero, front and center, trying very hard to get her life together. 

When you first hear the premise of 'In the Dark', you don't really know what to expect. It sets the scene for a mix of drama, mystery and snarky quips that involves a blind, alcoholic, irresponsible to the tee heroine whose life is turned upside down one day. But, once you're into about 20 minutes of the episode, it becomes clear what this is all about - it's a story about coming of age, about finding your voice and fighting for a friend against all odds.
