Shot In The Dark is a documentary series debuted on Netflix. It is a similar vein to other documentary series following dangerous jobs. This series focuses on three major 'stringers' or independent news film crews and the things they see and go through at night in Los Angeles to shoot news worthy clips of accidents, fires and other things to make a living.
This show provides examples of the following tropes:
- Heroic BSoD: Austin ends-up experiencing one after he had to rescue a person from a burning vehicle, and ends-up leaving the business due to it.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: LAPD, LAFD. Basically any law enforcement personnel are shown as being strict but very reasonable.
