Maybe at another time, these two will find their way back to each other. The love triangle takes what is an otherwise a strong show, and turns it into soapy drama. Moving the show to sunny California changed the tone of the show in a way that it didn't feel like the Stumptown we had all come to love.

It is difficult to remember the good times when you know how things ended. This case not only gave us more of the Dex and Sue Lynn dynamic but it also gave us more insight into the inner workings of the reservation and introduced us to Benny's widow. No, it is that Ansel is the one responsible for her ending up there.
One TV Fanatic reader had suggested that maybe it was Jeremy, a vet Dex had met earlier in the season and formed a friendship with, which would have been a much better option. Sue Lynn ended up being a great source of support for Dex throughout Stumptown Season 1 and eventually became one of my own personal favorites.
Shopping Cart items. Benny's killer was someone we had only just met, so it was hard to care about the fact that he did it. When teasers for the second half of the season teased more of the same, I let out many audible groans. On "The Dex Files" they switched it up and helped to show us some of the best moments of Dex's past. If someone wants to be with one of them, they have to accept them as a package deal. We need a second season so we can find out!
Up until this point in time, we had seen the loss of Benny almost solely from Dex's perspective. Even though Artie wasn't a perfect angel, he still made for one of the most enjoyable characters on Stumptown.
Viewers weren't as quick to take a liking to her. It didn't paint him in the best light. Liz seemed to be too good to be true from the start. The sexy Irish tattoo artist was the man Dex was tasked with bringing down, but instead, she saved him from making the biggest mistake of his life. Watching Dex experience the emotionally raw flashbacks that tormented her throughout Stumptown Season 1 was heartbreaking. He had a family that was left shattered because Benny chased Dex across the world. On Something that feels so unique about Stumptown, though, is that the cases always feel like they end up at a logical conclusion that you can figure out as you go. With the mystery of Benny's death being solved on Panic sets in when they discover a valuable is missing. Instead, it all came from Tookie. It seemed like Sue Lynn hated Dex, but as we learned on the It is going to take a lot for her to make things right with Hoffman, and with the viewers.
It was no wonder that Hoffman thought he could trust her with information about Dex. If it felt like Lee did it because she felt like it was the right thing to do, then maybe it could be forgiven. Instead, we saw droplets of this scattered across the season.
If you read my reviews of Stumptown, you know what a HUGE fan I am of the portrayal of Dex's PTSD. Stumptown deserves a second season and a move to a better time slot to increase its audience. The music of Stumptown is a character of its own, and the music department deserves so much praise for their work! Knowing how important Ansel is to Dex, it is clear why moments like this made such a big impact on her.
