OK, it's not anything special, but Cobie Smulders is her usual wonderful self, and she's good enough to drive the show. A creep who hits on the heroine and gets totally shut down and outed as a fraud by her keen sense of perception? Obviously. Tough private investigator doing it her own way? Indeed! A tone light enough to drink rosé to but not dark enough to make you dive into a pint of ice cream? Yup. If you dipped a towel into a pool of all of ABC's shows and wrung it out, you'd get Stumptown.

But there are only five - maybe four - that are worth your time, which we discovered by watching every single new broadcast pilot headed to your living room. There are also a whole bunch of immigrants, one superhero, and another branch of the Black-ish family tree. As usual, there are plenty of lawyers and a doctor, but surprisingly no cops (the workaround now are outside consultants who work with cops, of which there are a few). Yes, of the 16 new shows coming to you before Halloween, about a quarter of them are watchable. Summer was fun and all, but I think we can all agree that it was lacking one big thing: lots and lots of new television shows!
