Stumptown

I really liked Stumptown and am disappointed it won't be returning.

Dex Parios (Cobie Smulders) is a hard talking, hard drinking, hard gambling, troubled war vet, private investigator in Portland, Oregon. She drives a crappy car and cares for her mentally challenged brother. She owes money to casino owner Sue Lynn Blackbird (Tantoo Cardinal). Sue also happens to be the disapproving mother of her late love of her life. Her friend Grey McConnell (Jake Johnson) owns a bar. Detective Miles Hoffman (Michael Ealy) and Lieutenant Cosgrove (Camryn Manheim) are Portland police. Artie Banks (Donal Logue) is an amoral PI.

I like Cobie Smulders and Jake Johnson. This has just enough edge to be a little interesting. It can be uneven at times but she keeps driving and driving that crappy car. Dex brings a mix of damage and sass that is very enticing. It does need to develop the overarching case a lot more. The show actually reaches a good level of story development and creates a fun cast of characters. It did get renewed for a second season until covid hit.

THIS IS A TRAVESTY,ONE OF BEST SHOWS CANCELLED, hopefully NETFLIX will pick it up,CAST is excellent,characters are engaging and episodes are great,I was shocked when I heard about the cancellation..please return this show to TV.

Finally had a chance to watch Stumptown season I and now understand what all the fuss was about. I already knew the cast and I think the actor I enjoyed seeing the most was Camryn Manheim of my old fave, The Practice. The rest of the cast was wonderful, including the guests throughout the first season. This series offers a wide variety of genres in a single series. Great action, comedy, drama, episodic and very good writing.

This is an easy show to binge watch and most people should find this enjoyable (I hope).

I hope this gets picked up for another season as I am not ready to say goodbye to this wonderful cast and group of characters.

Hope you enjoy this as much as I have.

Bring it back! All the good show are being cancel way to soon because of low ratings on mainstream tv. People are streaming when they want to and have time! Get a new system!
