I'm hot and cold on "Stumptown," but for the opposite reason; I don't think it's missing something as much as its got too much of everything to the point where there's no focus. I realize Portland has a reputation for colorful characters, but it shouldn't be either Cicely, Alaska or Hooterville. Everyone is just too damn colorful. A skilled creator like Graham Yost or Noah Hawley can pull that stuff off; this team can't. It's like they went searching for something in another medium with an unusual female lead and wiped their hands, figuring their work was done.
