Sep 25, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Steve Greene indieWire Top Critic Mostly what struck me about Stumptown, however, was how fun it was to watch, from the chase sequences to the music to the chemistry between characters. Sep 24, 2019 | Full Review… Pilot Viruet Observer Top Critic Smulders has been underrated for some time, and she's excellent here, finding just the right edge to the character but keeping her likable at the same time. Sep 23, 2019 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic 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… Kelly Lawler USA Today Top Critic The show carries an obscure vibe to it from its dark-colored aesthetics to its topics of mental health and life's woes, but still maintains enough wry and satirical humor to carry a balance within the show's tone. Dec 5, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review… Kacie Lillejord Cultured Vultures Stumptown is good, period, without the "for a network show" qualification. It's got a strong cast and fun storylines... It's smart and fast and formulaic in the right ways only so far. Nov 18, 2019 | Full Review… Brian Grubb Uproxx In a show filled with stand out characters, the most surprising one was the music. Stumptown is going to become the Guardians of the Galaxy of the TV world if they keep us this incredible soundtrack. Sep 26, 2019 | Rating: 4.8/5.0 | Full Review… Meaghan Frey TV Fanatic Stumptown is a series to be enjoyed. It's pure prime-time entertainment that has a shot at being the next beloved network procedural. Oct 7, 2019 | Full Review… Merrill Barr Forbes [Tantoo] Cardinal's work always elevates a project. Oct 7, 2019 | Full Review… Anne Brodie What She Said Actress Colbie Smulders elevates this well-made procedural private eye drama. Dec 5, 2019 | Full Review… Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Fun crime solving drama with a strong, flawed female lead. Oct 7, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media I want so much for Stumptown to be the show I know it can be, but after "Dex Education" I'm prepared to be disappointed. Sep 26, 2019 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review… Sarah Fields Tell-Tale TV View All Critic Reviews (36) Audience Reviews for Stumptown: Season 1 2d ago EVERYTHING WORKS IN THIS SHOW.THE GANG HAS GREAT CHEMISTRY BUT IT'S COBIE SMULDERS'S EXCEPTIONAL CHARISMA THAT TIES THE WHOLE THING TOGETHER.TOO BAD SEASON ONE ONLY HAS 12 EPISODES.ALREADY CAN'T WAIT FOR A RENEWAL WITH MANY MORE.JUST GREAT !!!!!!! alex20 a 2d ago awesome series ..watch if you like politics and detective type test Shakil a 2d ago Stumptown is about Dex Parios (How I Met Your Mother's Cobie Smulders), an ex-soldier with PTSD and a tragic past who decides to become a private detective. I stopped watching this after the eighth episode. I didn't think this was bad so much as there wasn't enough to keep me watching. The pilot episode and and one subplot that lasted a few episodes are pretty good. However, the writers didn't really know what to do with the stand-alone episodes which were often just okay. The biggest trouble is that the show tries to balance network lightheartedness and comedy with more serious elements. They nail it in the first episode, but for the rest of the show the disparate parts never quite gel. (I get the feeling that the original graphic novel this was based on was more mature and they tried to adapt this to be more network-friendly.) I have no complaints with the cast. Smulders and New Girl's Jake Johnson is great as her friend. I can see some people getting more out of this than me, but personally I think there are a lot of shows out there that take priority. Jack W 6d ago So mediocre and so boring. Andras F 6d ago Best show ever! The writing is excellent! I hope they get a second season! Jess A Jan 09, 2020 I keep trying not to like this show (I don't know why) but I can't! It is really good! Jane P Jan 08, 2020 Great season so far. For a detective show, it actually feels somewhat fresh in its story telling. Stephan W Jan 03, 2020 I LOVE this show, I am hoping and crossing my fingers we get a season two and beyond! nate l Dec 26, 2019 Great show with strong female lead. I like how the main character, Dex is a smart, strong character but with definite flaws and painful past. It's a truthful vulnerability not normally given to female leads. Adding the character Ansel is great too. It shows how autistic people are not just dumb and helpless but can often function well in society if given the opportunity. Tom G Dec 15, 2019 Looking forward to watching.
