What happens

Shot in the Dark is an American documentary television series that premiered on Netflix on November 17, 2017. The eight-episode first season explores the story of stringers (freelance news writers or photographers) in Los Angeles, California. The series follows three companies that do stringing in the Los Angeles TV news market. It follows stringing companies OnScene.TV, LoudLabs LLC, and RMGNews as they compete to get the shot that sells to the news. The show features the same subject matter and many of the same people as the 2007 series Stringers: LA. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
