Five Thoughts on Stumptown‘s “All Hands on Dex”

By Reid Carter | Mar 27, 2020 | Television

“Tell me your sins.” It’s a line that comes right around the midpoint of this finale episode of Stumptown’s first season, and in many ways it’s the keystone of not just this episode but the entire show. It’s the piece in the center that holds together an entire character arc. On one side, you have […]

By Reid Carter | Feb 21, 2020 | Television

Welcome back gumshoes! Stumptown has been on a bit of a hotstreak lately, coming off three very strong episodes in a row.

Five Thoughts on Stumptown‘s “The Dex Factor”

By Reid Carter | Feb 7, 2020 | Television

Welcome back, gumshoes! When last we left our heroes, some dumb reviewer was moaning and groaning about how little they were looking forward to the resolution of the ongoing car thief/drug runner plot. I don’t know who reviewed the last episode, but that guy was completely wrong–this episode ruled, wrapped up the storyline perfectly, and […]

Five Thoughts on Stumptown‘s “Dirty Dexy Money”

By Reid Carter | Jan 24, 2020 | Television

Welcome back gumshoes. [Turns chair around backwards.] Look. Stumptown writers–or whoever’s responsible for this–we need to have an intervention. You are clearly addicted to episode titles where you substitute “Dex,” the name of our fearless PI heroine, for “sex” in admittedly hilarious puns. This is now the third episode where you’ve used that wordplay, and I […]

Five Thoughts on Stumptown‘s “The Other Woman”

By Reid Carter | Dec 5, 2019 | Television

Welcome back gumshoes! Stumptown‘s weirdly inconsistent release schedule has been keeping you away from me, but I know you missed our little chats. When we last left Dex and Co., they were having a Thanksgiving dinner from hell—or, I guess it was bad, I’m not sure since it happened mostly off screen. Anyways, here’s five thoughts on Stumptown‘s […]

And we’re back! It’s been two full weeks since Dex’s best friend Grey got kidnapped by his old crime buddy Kane–What do you call the guy you stole from who then murdered your former partner, broke out of prison, and beat the crap out of you? A buddy, right?–and I’m sure everything’s gonna be fine! […]
