On ABC tonight they aired Stumptown. It deals with Dex Parios (Cobie Smulders)a retired army vet throwing dice trying to earn a living for her brother Ansel and herself but has to work off her debt by finding the gambling owner grandchild.
It based on the comic book that was released by Oni Press and written by Greg Rucka in which Dex is retired Army but already has he P.I. license and again has to work off her gambling debt by finding the owners granddaughter. The major difference is in the book she is a lesbian. The book didn't make that a central focus but it was there. Her (ex) partner in the police was Detective Hoffman.
In the show Dex is straight and Detective Hoffman is a man. Other than that the show seems to alright, it just irks me that they take a strong lesbian characters and make them straight.
