I just watched the two episodes who have aired so far. I thought it was okay but not great. It may fill hole left by Whiskey Cavalier if it doesn't fall into inspiration porn territory with the brother.
Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
I don't know how things work in Oregon, but in NY, there's no way a felon who is paying for everything with cash would be able to get a liquor license.
I thought the same thing -- how the heck did he get a liquor license?
With regard to NY, I continue to be gratified that Donnie Wahlburg's restaurant cannot get a liquor license with him as a partner because of this "youthful" felony hate crime conviction (he and a friend assaulted an Asian store owner and used racial slurs)
Mark, not Donnie, right?
I thought that it was the actor, who is Donnie, right?
eta: Nope, I was wrong, it was Marky Mark.
They're both actors.
OK, have watched the first 3 Stumptowns. I like it. I love the tape that just plays whatever it wants at opportune moments. Very Good Omens.
Yeah, I think Stumptown is getting better as it goes -- I figured it had to, with that cast! (I thought the pilot was fine.)
It's kinda hard to think Jake Johnson is an ex-con who might reasonably be suspected of murder. Although I don't really think we the audience are really supposed to suspect him...or maybe that's just me
I was enjoying Stumptown, but I thought the most recent episode was really boring. Although, I could have just been in a bad mood.
I'm enjoying Stumptown and all the nods toward 70's detective shows.
