Director: Karen Troubetzkoy
Losing her sight didn't end Tess Avery's career as a detective — it changed how she works, and Sight Unseen builds its entire premise around that shift.
What is Sight Unseen about?
A former homicide detective who has recently gone blind, Tess Avery refuses to step away from the work that defines her. Instead she partners with Sunny Patel, a remote-based sighted guide who lives with agoraphobia and rarely leaves her own apartment, feeding Tess real-time descriptions of crime scenes, faces, and evidence through an earpiece. The pairing turns every investigation into a two-person act of trust: one woman physically present but unable to see, the other seeing everything through a screen but unable to be there. Case by case, the show follows the two women as they track down killers who have slipped past conventional police work, using a method that forces them to rely on each other's instincts as much as their own. Shot in Canada and built around a genuinely unusual investigative format, Sight Unseen keeps its focus on procedure and partnership rather than shock, letting the dynamic between its two leads carry the tension.
