Stumptown - Rip City Dicks TV review

Dex (Cobie Smulders) attempts to get her new career started by enlisting the help of veteran PI Artie Banks (Donal Logue) to show her the ropes. He ends up showing her far more than she bargained for. The case involves a divorce settlement between their client, a battered wife (Shoshana Bush), and the squeaky-clean husband (Robb Derringer) the pair are hired to find dirt on. The main story works well, although Dex’s 70s Starsky & Hutch hallucination misses the mark. Logue turns out to be a nice addition to the cast, and after screwing over both Dex and their client to make some extra money for himself, I’m curious to see where this plot thread goes from here. Of less interest is Hoffman (Michael Ealy) looking into Grey’s (Jake Johnson) involvement with the ex-con who just turned up dead, but it doesn’t look like this story is getting wrapped-up anytime soon.

Stumptown - Forget It Dex, It's Stumptown. / Missed Connections TV review

Cobie Smulders stars as a good, if slightly fucked-up, former soldier who falls into the life of an unlicensed private investigator over the first two episodes of Stumptown. “Forget It Dex, It’s Stumptown.” introduces us to Dex Parios (Smulders), her best-friend Grey (Jake Johnson), and her brother Ansel (Cole Sibus). When the daughter (Blu Hunt) of the love of her life, whose death Dex still blames herself for, goes missing, the grandmother (Tantoo Cardinal) hires Dex to find her. What Dex discovers first looks like a pair of teens running off together but turns out to be something far more sinister as the boy’s boyfriend turns out to be one of three criminals wanting to ransom the girl back to her grandmother for a big payday.
