NETFLIX SERIES - SHOT IN THE DARK

Hello and welcome back.... Interesting TV series for those who have a Netflix account.

Its called 'Shot in the Dark' and is a behind the scenes of TV cameramen in the U.S.

With a heavy use of scanners to get the information and get to the scene as quickly as possible, its an engaging doco type TV series.

While our media is a bit more sedate, it shows the difference between the U.S, where every second person owns a scanner and ours, where sometimes the word 'scanner' is a dirty word.
