I didn't see anything on this so I thought I'd give it a go. This is basically Reef Break in the gritty city w/out the bikinis and scenery. Could be interesting but I'm guessing it's in for an early cancellation.

The first episode was OK. I like most of the cast so I'll give it some rope.

One hand I generally try all shows based on graphic novels. On the other I try to avoid all crime procedurals, It's a dilemma.

Made it through the premiere but there's nothing there to keep me watching.

This looks almost like a dark gritty version of Magnum PI without any bright colors, and filmed in a crappy part of town.

It was just okay. It seemed a lot like of other Action/Comedy shows. I'll probably watch it if there's nothing else on.

Watched the first two episodes and I enjoyed it so far.

The second episode had a moment that REALLY irritated me regarding the premise and execution of the series.

One of the premises of the series is seemingly going to be that Dex is always in dire financial straits.

Pilot established that she had gambled away her recent military check, but as long as she drives around in that POS car it means she needs $$.

Third episode with her and the veteran PI was a lot of fun. Love to 70s crime show opening.

I really enjoyed that storyline and it's fun seeing Donal Logue on TV again.

I would have rather kept Donal Logue as an occasional guest star/partner rather then giving him the heel turn.

I see your point but the guy was literally waving $50K in her face

ABC picks up Stumptown for a full season.

Good news. Wife and I have both been enjoying this one so far.

Yet another episode where Dex doesn't take the money. Of course, the previews pushed the Thanksgiving scene which was the last five minutes of the show.

Sorry, Dex. You already did the damage. Refusing the money doesn't make anything better, it just makes you broker.

Apparently a lot of people have dropped off from the show and I'm just about there. This reminds me a bit of "Burn Notice", in that each week there's a barely-there "case of the week", but all the show has is really interested in is the characters and their side-stories. That in itself isn't the problem, -these are good actors doing good work, -but the "cases" need to be something more than filler. And then there's "Dex", -the series protagonist, -who's portrayed as an ineffectual sad sack and is becoming kind of tiresome to watch. And, yeah, she turned down the money again in another episode, and had to be forced to take her fee.

Yeah, the cases have been weak. The overall car ring story has been pretty good. And, like you said, the actors are all doing well which is what keeps it watchable.

I have no background with the comic source material so I can't comment on how close/different TV Dex is to the original character.

Not much interest in this show here, but I watched the full season and enjoyed it. I think with many broadcast network shows, they can't compete in complexity with cable/streaming, but a lot of the enjoyment just comes from how much you want to spend some time with the stars. Plus, I'm old enough to like the Rockford vibe.

ABC has pulled the second season renewal due to the `rona, and now the show is cancelled. RIP Stumptown
