I agree with the other comments, the show is good, the cases are interesting, the characters are cool but for some reason I also don’t jump to watch the next episode, even tho I eventually do it and I enjoy it but there’s something -I don’t wanna say missing, cause the show is very wholesome- that needs to be added so the show can reach its full potential.
Maybe a little more action? For it to be more fast paced? A more charismatic character? (They all are strong and likeable characters but all of them look like zombies who wanna kill theirselves). I just feel like the show is in a weird place where it isn’t 100% action, mystery or drama so it’s like in the middle but honestly it’s good, has a lot of potential and I’m gonna keep watching.
10 episodes in, and while it's not sticking to the feel of a procedural, it's definitely leaning towards one.
The pilot was quite unique, especially by storytelling means, but it hasn't hit that sort of benchmark since - Stumptown comes off as any other crime drama show that's ever aired before it. The fight scenes are short, if minimal, and every episode follows almost the exact same structure as the last: Dex gets case, Dexs solves the case, Dex gets into some sort of drama with someone... Rinse, Wash, Repeat.
The cases are interesting enough and the main cast are a great polygon of dynamics. I'll even give some points to the writers for all the great one-liners and witty remarks, though I'm not sure why it's not making me feel as excited as I should to jump onto the next episode. It's a shame, because I love seeing Cobie on my screen again - she was the reason I started in the first place.

I can't seem to bring myself to be invested in this show. It isn't bad, and it is enjoyable, just about. At the same time, it is also very underwhelming, for the most part. And at this point, I'm just watching it week after week because I'm bored or want to past the time, and because I already began watching it, so I feel like I'm obligated to see it through to the end. And I will. But I hope it starts becoming more engaging.
