The many quirky characters introduced from time to time makes this show entertaining to me. Dex is a real badass to say the least, however her emotional issues are all over the place and too intense for me. I could do without the sexual situations that the episodes exhibit on occasion. Cobie Smulders fits the role well, but as for portraying the badass female role, I much prefer Perdita Weeks' (Juliet Higgins) on Magnum P.I. I prefer the professional interaction between the characters on Magnum P.I.. I also love Juliet's Scottish accent! Looks like better reviews for Stumptown, but that's the way I roll when it comes to TV shows.
