Cobie Smuldersis ready for you to meet Dex Parios.

It was really exciting to me.

I find her very hard to describe, and its one of the reasons Im drawn to her.

Cobie Smulders shot exclusively for EW

Eric Ray Davidson for EW

Its exciting to play a fully realized woman, and not just a couple shades of a character.

We want the sequences to look like a real bar fight, which is uncoordinated and sloppy.

What does the setting of Portland add toStumptown?

COLE SIBUS, COBIE SMULDERS

But what should viewers expect week to week?

Will it be procedural or more of an ongoing mystery?I think it will become more serialized.

Its not every week going to be, this is the case of the week.

They will all somehow be involved and it will affect their lives somehow personally.

I think that will be addressed at the end of the first season.

Shes tethered to him, but its also a tethering that benefits her.

New Girlalum Jake Johnson joined in the role of Grey after the series was ordered.

What has he added now that youve gotten to start filming with him?

Hes such a funny guy that Im sure hes adding some laughs.Hes been wonderful.

Were having so much fun.

And, again, its an interesting and complicated relationship between the two characters of Dex and Grey.

What would be your pitch for why viewers should tune in?Its an unusual show.

I think its going to be very unexpected.

It will be a pretty wild ride and hopefully people will want to jump onboard.
