Based on the series of graphic novels by the same name, "Stumptown" follows Dex Parios, a strong, assertive and sharp-witted Army veteran who has a complicated love life, gambling debt and a brother to take care of in Portland, Ore. Her military intelligence skills make her a great private investigator, but her brash, unapologetic style puts her in a league of her own, landing her in the firing line of hardcore criminals while not quite in alliance with the rules and objectives of the local police.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Simple, but strong, Stumptown moves at a brisk pace and packs a serious punch thanks in large part to Cobie Smulders' star making performance.

Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Benefiting from Cobie Smulders as an Afghanistan veteran turned private-eye, the series' originality is undercut by network-TV conventions re: lighting, score and blandly handsome, reasonably priced supporting actors. Worth a look. Apr 1, 2021 Full Review Susannah Butter London Evening Standard It doesn't revolutionise the trusty crime drama format but it's redeemed by engaging actors and a lot of spirit. Rated: 3/5 May 21, 2020 Full Review Kelly Lawler USA Today The supporting cast, which includes Jake Johnson and Michael Ealy, is also delightful. The characters genuinely like one another, and many times that makes for a more pleasurable watch than tense police dramas. Nov 19, 2019 Full Review Kate Robertson Stuff.co.nz Like many great television private investigators, Parios is an outlier who's never really aligned with the criminals she's after, or the police she's meant to be on-side with. Oct 29, 2021 Full Review Tara Ariano Primetimer There's a lot here that's compelling, current, and above all, unexpected; it deserves to be seen. Apr 19, 2021 Full Review Alan Boon Starburst This is a very special show, that will quickly become one of your favourites, and you need to jump on the Stumptown train before it leaves town.

Jonathan M Having difficulty getting thru episode one. Portraying a tough army vet she has zero fighting skills n the thespian skills??? Is it a dramady? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/24 Full Review fingertipps Dex is wonderful. I love the character and how the actress plays it. Strong punching, not listening female characters, more of them please. I love the fight scenes, they are so funny. Especially because of the music, which goes wonderfully with it. And the insight into the life of the tribal people was also very interesting for me. I really hope that somehow there will be a second season. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/26/22 Full Review Audience Member I actually enjoyed the first season despite... well, all the things... One thing that i don't like is the fighting scenes. Kids in a primary school could put a more realistic fight than them. And besides that, It is supposed Dex was a Marine, but everyone kick her ass in every fight and she is like batman, never carrying a gun despite the dangerous nature of his job... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Heartbroken this got cancelled! I loved seeing Cobie Smulders as a lead, and loved the storylines. Really miss this show. Bring back Season 2! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member The storyline does not go with the writing or the acting it is all over the place the character is a slut, a drunk and seems to have mental health issues none of these would make it possible to be a PI and how she got her license was a joke. This was a show where you tried to be P/C and it ended up going to far with the P/C you took everything bad from a PI and did not leave her with any redeeming qualities at all. You just couldn't make a normal woman who has the military background and the ability to be a PI You know America the majority of it can't stand this P/C crap and if you put out a good movie about a woman private investigator we would watch it but not this crap. Your suppose to think this could be real and in no world would anything like this be real or possible another junk P/C show doomed to 1 to 3 seasons at the most and will be a trivia question some day. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I love this show because it's story is based in Portland and gives another experience of everyday American life that includes working with everyday folks and tribal folks. There just isn't anything out there that shows such a realistic view of American Indians every day living and melding into the melting pot that is America. I think people just didn't know about it because if they had it would not have been canceled. I hope someone else picks it up! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
