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!
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 agree with a couple of the other reviewers, this is a bit of a stretch but it is entertaining and that is what it is meant to be. This is a very different plot and I like the story lines. They draw you in with the characters and keep it interesting.
I like the twist with the technology and how they use it with to assist and yes it is a stretch and there is some things that are not accurate and unbelievable, but this is television and fiction and it is still well worth watching. I think the acting is well done and I enjoy the characters and personally cannot wait for a second season to happen.
I definitely recommend this show to others who like crime drama and even my mother thought that it was a novel idea to use this type of tech and a system like "eyes up" to assist a blind cop in doing her job.
All I can say is well done and can't wait for more.

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.
I don't usually watch police dramas following a blind person's view but when I watch this, I was actually surprised! A blind detective who loses her vision due to Leber's? That's something a show never puts out for their dialogue. I liked how that Dolly Lewis actress plays Tess (the blind detective), and Daniel Gillies actually kind of surprised me since I've seen his shows like The Originals, and Saving Hope. Maybe I should give this show a chance just like I did with Wild Cards, Law & Order Toronto and many more, it doesn't actually bore me that much, it actually makes me want to watch more.
