The pilot is inspired by the Greg Rucka graphic novels about army-veteran-turned-private investigator Dex Parios, who solves other people’s messes in Portland with a blind eye to her own.

Cast: Cobie Smulders.

Writer/producer: Jason Richman.

Director: James Griffiths.

Dex Parios is drifting a bit; she’s come back to her hometown of Portland after a long stint overseas in Military Intelligence, and she’s bored, unfocused, and $11,000 in debt to a local casino. Looking for her next move, Dex is handed her future occupation on a platter when casino owner Sue Lynn Blackbird hires her on a wandering granddaughter job. The search for Nina Blackbird soon turns into a kidnapping caper, and as the stakes get higher, Dex finds her focus getting sharper, her skill-set growing more useful by the minute — and a life as a quirky, unpredictable private detective seems like the next chapter in Dex’s quirky, unpredictable life.

Cobie Smulders is a Canadian icon for her How I Met Your Mother character Robin Scherbatsky.

Not only was she pop star Robin Sparkles.

She was a rabid Vancouver Canucks fan.
