In The Dark is a drama television series that aired on The CW from 2019 to 2022. The show follows Murphy Mason, a young woman who is blind and has a tendency for self-destructive behaviors. Murphy's life takes a turn when her friend Tyson is murdered and she becomes determined to solve the case.

Rich Sommer stars as Dean Riley, the assistant district attorney who is working on Tyson's case. Brooke Markham plays Jess, who is Murphy's best friend and roommate. Casey Deidrick takes on the role of Max, who is Murphy's love interest and Tyson's cousin. Kathleen York plays Joy Mason, Murphy's overprotective mother. Perry Mattfeld stars as Murphy Mason, the protagonist who is determined to solve Tyson's murder. Keston John plays Darnell James, Murphy's friend and dealer. Aiza Ntibarikure rounds out the cast as Trey, a young boy who comes into Murphy's life and becomes a source of support.

The show is set in Chicago and focuses on the lives of a group of young adults who are navigating their way through the challenges of adulthood. At its core, In The Dark is a murder mystery that delves into the darker side of human nature. The show is gritty, intense, and is not afraid to tackle tough issues like addiction, mental health, and the criminal justice system.

Throughout the series, Murphy becomes increasingly obsessed with solving Tyson's murder. Her blindness adds an extra layer of challenge to the investigation, as she must rely on others to describe the visual details of the crime scene. Murphy's personality is also a major factor in the show's tension. She's impulsive, crude, and often behaves in ways that put her own safety at risk.

Dean Riley is the central character on the prosecution side of the Tyson case. He's determined to put Tyson's killer behind bars, but he's also drawn into Murphy's world as she starts to uncover clues about the crime. Dean's relationship with Murphy is complicated, as he struggles to balance his duty to the law with his growing affection for her.

Jess and Max are also integral characters in the series. Jess serves as Murphy's sounding board, confidante, and support system. Max is introduced to the story as Tyson's cousin, but as the series progresses, his relationship with Murphy becomes more complex.

Joy Mason is another facet of the show's emotional core. Her relationship with her daughter is strained due to her over-protectiveness and disapproval of Murphy's lifestyle. As the investigation into Tyson's murder unfolds, Joy becomes more involved in the case and her relationship with Murphy evolves.

Keston John's character Darnell is a drug dealer who becomes a frequent source of information for Murphy. He's street-smart and savvy, and Murphy often relies on him when she needs a connection to the criminal underworld.

Aiza Ntibarikure's character Trey is introduced later in the series. He's a teenage boy who becomes involved with Murphy and her circle of friends. Trey's character provides a glimpse into what Murphy's life might have been like if she hadn't lost her sight.

In The Dark is a complex and emotionally charged series that tackles some heavy subject matter. The show's talented cast brings depth and nuance to their performances, making the characters feel real and relatable. The gritty realism of the show makes it a standout in the crime drama genre, and the intensity of the murder mystery keeps audiences hooked until the very end.

In the Dark is a series that ran for 4 seasons (52 episodes) between April 4, 2019 and on The CW
