Murphy is a hard-living, hard-drinking, disaffected twenty-something with a penchant for cigarettes and casual sex. She's also blind. Murphy lives with her supportive best friend, Jess, and - more reluctantly - her trusty guide dog, Pretzel, whose presence she resents. Murphy's closest friend is a sweet teenager named Tyson, who she befriends after he saved her from a violent mugging. Her life comes crashing down when she stumbles upon what she's sure is the lifeless body of Tyson in the alley outside her apartment. But when the police arrive there is no body to be found - and with Murphy not exactly sober, the police aren't especially inclined to investigate. Murphy is determined to find the truth, no matter the risk… even if it means she has to sober up a little.

I transitioned from OZ to this great show, Well worth a view as i got hooked first ep 1
season 1 was ok, 4 of 5, but it feels like they had ideas for 1 season and no more. i’ve watched 6-7 ep’s of s2 and it’s s1 again but on steroids and i got bored almost immediately. it becomes too much and therefore just silly,sad
i found this show today and just watched ep 1 and 2. I’m hooked ! hope the rest is as good as those two first ep,seems to be a gem.
very interesting show. More so than i originally anticipated. Glad I gave it a chance and am curious to see where the showrunner takes this.
this is worth a watch, not as CW as most of the CW shows are, if you get my drift.
I love this show. Sometimes I have to roll my eyes at certain things. I don’t like Max but maybe his character will get better. I like mostly all the characters except Dean of course. It is an enjoyable show that I look forward to watching each week.
S3, E3: “Murphy experiences being truly alone in an unfamiliar place and begins to realize how helpless she is without her friends.” It’s worth wading through all the lazy writing and formulaic dialogue to get to the impact of this one genuinely honest and well-executed episode - the only episode that had the substance every other 2D rendition lacked. If every episode looked more like this, I’d have great respect for the creator and the team. Vince Gilligan does it. David Fincher does it. Don’t get me wrong, the subject and overall plot are solid. Sadly, they had one good episode in them (perhaps two - including the first) that managed to reveal something beautiful and genuine in a corner of the human condition many know little about. For most of the time, though, they played it safe and rode the cache of a blind self-sabotaging protagonist who, despite the gut wrenching sympathy evoked in the one powerful episode I’ve mentioned, just becomes really annoying.
