About this show

Based on Jim Butcher's best-selling novels, "The Dresden Files" chronicles the cases of no ordinary detective. Harry Dresden (Paul Blackthorne) is a wizard, the only one listed in the Chicago phone book. He's got a handle on the crimes that can't be solved by anyone else. Paranormal? No problem. Dresden deals in all matters of supernatural threats. If you need a little hocus pocus or someother worldly advice, Dresden's your man.

Here's the deal. This show, like with LotR, Harry Potter and GoT, is SUPPOSED to differ in some ways from the books. This was meant for casual watchers as well as to give some fan service to the book readers. This show was never going to compare to the books; it's impossible. That being said, this was a good show which got cancelled too soon. Too bad.

I have all of the books in this series. Jim Butcher is a fantastic writer. The tv show was a nice attempt but it won't satisfy die hard fans. Catch it on netflix but dont pay for it here.

This show is proof that the best shows die first because they require imagination and intelligence. It's true to the books, very well written and casted. Typical; Firefly gets canceled, Dresden files gets canceled, dead like me, dead. Dancing with the stars, the bachelor and castle (Sorry Nathan, i wanted to like it) all alive and thriving.
