This is one of Sci-Fi Channel's most outstanding original series. It's based on The Dresden Files books, by Jim Butcher. (Excellent reads, all of them. I'd recommend them too.) Paul Blackthorne brings Harry to life in all his workaday, Everywizard glory, and Terrence Mann is just flat out brilliant as Bob the cursed ghost. The plots are interesting, the dialog is snappy, and the characters are fun. I hope there are many seasons of Harry Dresden adventures to enjoy in the future.
If you liked Harry Potter, the X-Files, and/or Supernatural, you'd probably really get a kick out of The Dresden Files.

Urban fantasy meets film noir in this fantastic and woefully under-promoted supernatural detective series from SciFi Channel. The Chandleresque hero, wizard detective Harry Dresden (Paul Blackthorne), works as a consultant with a not-so-favored branch of the Chicago police on crimes with methods, perps or victims that don't fit into the non-magical view of reality. You'll find vivid, memorable characters, superb writing, wonderful dialogue, great acting, solid and complex plots. Watching the show may also leave you panting for more, and get you addicted to the book series by Jim Butcher, upon which this is based. (Yes, there are differences between the books and the TV show, but the differences do not detract from the quality in either case. Both series are magnificent.) An undiscovered gem of a show. You'll be delighted you found it. I am.

The 'dark magic' genre may be tired/crowded, but this show is that happy accident that could break out and redefine its type. This is almost entirely character driven. "Dresden Files" is "Magnum, P.I." paired with a tragic "Dark Shadows" hero. Two archetypical matinee idols, literally, in SciFi's own "Odd Couple." The dramody is a unique, endearing mix that could own some demographics SciFi has yet to reach. To Lionsgate/SciFi Channel I say, just give this thing its head with a second season and play it up! I believe your patience will be rewarded.

When I first watched The Dresden Files I had no idea what to expect sinse I had never read the books. However, after watching the series, I was inspired to read the books...all of them. The series is an excellent and entertaining adaptation of the books. Although the series differs from the book on plot points, character names and other little nuances, it carries the spirit of the books. The series writers have managed to pull off the impossible by bringing the personality and charm of Harry Dresden to the screen; and, they have managed to do so with whimsy. All in all, the stories are engaging and fun. After you watch the first episode you will want to see more.

I adore the Dresend Files. Being a fan of the Jim Butcher's books, I expected to be as disappointed as I'd been with most adaptations. However different the show is from the books, it is loyal to the spirt of the series. It's smart, funny and I look forward to more season to come.
