All September long, IGN is highlighting the best TV coming your way in the 2019-2020 season. Today we’re introducing ourselves to the cool, cunning Dex Parios, Private Eye. Played by How I Met Your Mother and the MCU’s Cobie Smulders, Dex tracks down crooks and busts open cases on ABC’s Stumptown, which premieres Wednesday, September 25. Based on the acclaimed graphic novel by Greg Rucka and Matthew Southworth, Stumptown follows Dex, an ex-solider, as she tries to get out in front of a gambling debt by agreeing to take on tricky P.I. jobs with no formal training. I spoke to Stumptown creator Jason Richman about why Smulders was perfect for the role of Dex and what type of changes he had to make to the source material. Plus, we’ve got an exclusive first look at the opening scene of the show translated into comic book form, plus a video of the scene itself for comparison.
