Rueben's Ramblings

On April 3, the new drama Sight Unseen will debut at 9 PM on CW.

The series follows Tess Avery (newcomer Dolly Lewis), a top homicide detective who is forced to quit the job she loves after an incident in the field nearly results in her partner, Jake Campbell (Daniel Gillies from Saving Hope, Virgin River and The Originals), being killed, leading to her ultimately being diagnosed as clinically blind. Haunted by the cases she left behind and reluctant to accept help, or even her own diagnosis, Tess turns to an assistance app to connect with a professional seeing-eye guide 3,000 miles away.

An unorthodox partner in Tess’ ear, Sunny Patel (Agam Darshi from Sanctuary), guides her via a micro-camera, allowing Tess to continue doing what she does best: solving cases. An agoraphobic who leaves her apartment only through the eyes of her clients, Sunny is also hiding a secret of her own – a violent event from her past she hopes to one day solve. Steering Tess through life’s obstacles and crimes – the duo challenge preconceptions about ability, trust, and where to draw the line. Inspired by one of the series co-creators’ recurring experiences with sight loss, Tess and Sunny bring a fresh perspective and unexpected thrills to the crime solving genre.

The cast includes Jarod Joseph (The 100), Roger Cross (Continuum and Dark Matter) and Ennis Esmer (Blindspot and Children Ruin Everything).
