Can Dex get ahead in the first season of the Stumptown TV show on ABC? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Stumptown is cancelled or renewed for season two. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustration when their viewing habits and opinions aren’t considered, we invite you to rate all of the season one episodes of Stumptown for us here. *Status update below.
An ABC drama, this show is based on the graphic novel series by Greg Rucka and Matthew Southworth. Stumptown stars Cobie Smulders, Jake Johnson, Tantoo Cardinal, Cole Sibus, Adrian Martinez, Camryn Manheim, and Michael Ealy. In the TV show, Dex Parios (Smulders) is a strong, assertive and sharp-witted military veteran who lives in Portland, Oregon. She has a complicated love life, gambling debt, and a brother with Down syndrome, Ansel (Sibus), to care for. With only herself to rely on, she solves other people’s messes with a blind eye toward her own. Her military intelligence skills make Dex a great private investigator, but her unapologetic style puts her in the firing line of hardcore criminals and the police aren’t her biggest fans either. Other characters include Grey McConnell (Johnson), a bar owner and Dex’s friend; casino owner Sue Lynn Blackbird (Cardinal); Dex’s friend Tookie (Martinez), a taco food cart owner; and Lieutenant Cosgrove (Manheim) Detective Miles Hoffman (Ealy) of the Portland Police Bureau.

*9/17/20 update: Stumptown has been canceled after an initial renewal by ABC.
ABC sucks for canceling this show after renewing it.
Love this show…please renew
My husband and I LOVE this show. Please renew for another season!! We are huge fans!!!
I Love Stumptown. My new favorite show!!
We love this show. Dex, et al, are engaging and we have enjoyed this show tremendously.
Love Stumptown!!! Please renew this show!!!
Cobie is a great lead & she’s surrounded by an amazing cast. A good premise, a reluctant hero (she has her baggage, vulnerabilities) just makes this a show I look forward to seeing every week.
Though the show has a few clichés, it’s pretty original, mostly believable – especially if you like the crime/mystery shows, & I love the fact it’s in Portland. Also, much kudos to the writers for addressing PTSD suffered by women vets.
Tantoo Cardinal, IMO, is an underrated actress so it’s always a treat whenever she graces the screen. Please keep this on!
TV Series Finale is such a great site for TV. Lots of info and great reporting. Thank You
I will miss Tommy. It was such a great show. It is CBS fault tho why placing Tommy in the super powerhouse Law & Order time slot. Yes I love Law & Order too. Tommy should have been given a better time slot or different day.
I love Stumptown. Please renew. Love love love it.
This show has a great story behind it. Please don’t cancel. There are not too many really good shows on t.v.
This show is very different and we watch it every week. Don’t cancel it.
Stumptown is my absolute favourite show on TV right now. Please renew for Season 2. Cannot imagine life without the awesome cast, especially Grey.
My favorite show. Always on the edge of my seat. Love the characters, especially Dex! She is badass!
I cannot wait for season 2.
I agree fully
LOVE this show! BRING on season two#
