They say that "justice is blind", but The CW's In L & # 39; darkness take this sentence literally and escape it.

Perry Mattfeld (Shameless) & nbsp; like Murphy Mason, a cynical and jaded blind woman, who swears to solve the murder of his good friend after he died in a lane of Chicago. After leading a social and badual lifestyle as long as a rider, Murphy must hang on and become serious in order to break through the central mystery.

Because its main character is invisible, the production team of the series wanted to present its environment through remarkable textures, which would reflect the process by which a blind person navigates and makes its way around the world. The chief production designer, Naz Goshtasbpour, known for his work on Baroness Von Sketch Show and Our house.

"It's not your conception of traditional production where you decorate a room, you have to think about it from the point of view of a blind person," she told Forbes Entertainment. we had to incorporate a lot of texture because of the way we imagine her world is that she moves simply by touching things and feeling things, so when you look at the screen, there is a lot of exposed bricks and [a] textured rug and more visible texture on the sheets and everything … If you notice, [in] in her room, there is no light and because she is blind, she does not decorate it, it is very rare. "

Murphy might have a slight resemblance to Matt Murdock in Netflix. Daredevil (after all, both are blind protagonists, inspired by black), Goshtasbpour said she was sure to avoid such shows, In the dark.

"I wanted to stay away from these shows because I did not want them to influence my design," she continues. "I wanted it to be a bit unique and to have a different feel. For me, it's so easy, I see something and I say to myself: "Oh my God, it's so beautiful! I want to do that. 'I try to stay as far as possible from that. I watch these shows just for fun, but when it came to that, I wanted to make sure it was genuine. "

Goshtasbpour says that one of her creators, Corinne Kingsbury (The press room), was to make the sets as real as possible. As such, it took a lot of research (on the Internet and in the real world) to accurately reproduce places such as academy visualization.

"We went to visit a facility in Ontario that trains guide dogs. We were therefore very inspired by this space. And then we had a representative of the Guide Dogs of America who came and we sat down with her and discussed with her in detail what they would have in their facilities and what would make the most sense. " adds the designer of the production.

Other studies have taught Goshtasb for more varied degrees of blindness and interior structures specifically designed for people with extremely poor vision or no vision.

"I've learned a lot about architecture and interior design for the blind and how they incorporate floor tiles of different textures to create a path and tell people where they walk – where the path come from? at a stop, where they are near a wall. All of this was interesting and some of the spaces I encountered on the Internet and which were a space for the blind and the paradox was that these spaces were so beautiful, "she says.

Back in Murphy's room for a second, Goshtasbpour reveals her incredible sense of detail when she talks about aging parts of the floor of the character's apartment. Why would she do that? In his own words:

"The decor had hardwood floors and what I had done was to ask our painters to go up the path of his mattress at the door of his room and up to one of the windows in which it s' sat down from time to time and smoked to open in the sink. It is a very clear path on which she still walks, who is older than the rest of the floor and her apartment.

Goshtasbpour chooses two when his speech turns to his favorite setting: a police station and a convenience store meant to show signs of additions and different renovations dating back to the 1930s. With regard to the old, she had to refrain from copying some of the aesthetics of her favorite procedures such as Law & amp; Order: SVU or Chicago P.D.

"When I researched many police stations and people always commented on me [and say] & # 39; Oh, you'll do like [those shows] or something like that? I said to myself, "No, no no. I want to design something where people have never seen it before, "she says. "For example, we had a marble floor, but I added a lowered ceiling because it was something they had created in the 70s, 80s or even 90s. So we added the appearance suspended ceiling to make it a bit more ugly. Then we added glbad bricks, an architectural detail from a different decade. We had designed it with this Art Deco base, and then we changed over the decades to bring it in 2018, 2019. "

Produced by Ben Stiller (Escape from Dannemora) and Michael Showalter (Wet american hot summer) In the dark debuted on television tonight at 9 / 8c.
