Sight Unseen in a 2024 Canadian Cop Show/Detective Drama aired in Canada by CTV and in the US through The CW. It stars Dolly Lewis (in her first major role), Agam Darshi, Daniel Gillies and Jarod Joseph.Vancouver Police Department (VPD) homicide detective Tess Avery decided to retire after she's diagnosed as being clinically blind due to Leber Neuropathy. A police encounter nearly killed her and her partner, Jake Campbell, prior to being diagnosed. She then uses an app called EyesUp to get around, where she's assisted by Sunny Patel, a woman living in New York City with a case of agrophobia. Matt Alleyne helps out with his technical expertise from time to time after Avery is retained by the VPD as a police consultant due to her LEO experience.Tess decides to use the opportunity as a private citizen to examine unsolved cases back from her time in the VPD, although she does take on cases where the department is legally in a dead end.Not to be confused with the 2009 TV movie of the same name.

Police Are Useless: After Tess retires from the VPD, she thinks that the department is not able to pursue all avenues in a case whenever she takes one. It's suggested by Jake that the reason the case goes on a dead end is because they believe some cases have a likely chance of not being solved when strong evidence is not discovered.

comment
Wham Episode: "Tess": Tess didn't fire her pistol at a hostile suspect is because she's being clinically blind. She didn't even mention it to her superiors or her colleagues. For what they know, she left the department due to stress. "Sunny": Tess tells Jake that she left the VPD because she's blind and not because of stress on the job. He takes it well. The main suspect involved in the death of Charles Adam is his own wife, who placed his unconscious body in the lake. It's later revealed that she did this on purpose, despite telling her son Ben that she wouldn't kill him. "Jake": Adrian, the missing person, was killed as he wanted to muscle in on cuts based on a credit card skimming racket ran by Tristan in order to get out of debt. "Mia": Olivia Banks was killed by Ania on a dispute over a lottery ticket. Tess was able to talk her down out of killing herself with a box cutter knife. "Razor's Edge": Sunny tells Tess that her real name is Sunita Sharma. She had an affair with one of her professors, who was married. Sunny fled to the US with a fake name after an assassin tries to get her killed. Sunny also finds the assassin's phone, which has caller ID linked to Superintendent Bennett of the VPD.

comment
Shout-Out: In "Sunny", she tells Tess to infiltrate a party by using the name of Irene Adler. Tess lampshades the choice because she's a known nemesis for Sherlock Holmes.note She's also worried that someone who knows SH can easily call her out.
