What is Sight Unseen about?

Sight Unseen is a Canadian-American crime drama television series that brings a fresh perspective to the investigative genre by showcasing the unusual collaboration between Tess Avery, a vision-impaired former homicide detective, and Sunny Patel, her agoraphobic remote guide. After being diagnosed with Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy, Tess relies on Sunny's assistance, provided via a visual aid application, to continue her sleuthing work. The show, set in Vancouver, Canada, weaves Tess's personal struggles to maintain independence and Sunny's journey to cope with agoraphobia into the central narrative of crime-solving. Throughout the series, viewers are presented with a blend of suspenseful detective work and the challenges that come with navigating the complexities of visual impairment and mental health. Starring Dolly Lewis as Tess Avery and Agam Darshi as Sunny Patel, Sight Unseen pushes the boundaries of traditional crime dramas by addressing themes of reliance, trust, and the redefining of limitations imposed by society on those with disabilities.

The first episode of Sight Unseen aired on January 21, 2024 and the most recent episode to air was on March 25, 2024.
