In a show inspired by the graphic novels published by Oni Press, How I Met Your Mother actress Colbie Smulders stars as Dex Parios, a savvy army veteran who becomes a private investigator in Portland, OR. Between her love life, her gambling debts, taking care of her brother, and butting heads with the police, Dex's unapologetic demeanour works well for her professional work, but not so much for her personal life.
