Summary: The Dresden files - Loosely based on the books
Comment: I enjoyed these shows, keeping in mind that they are only based on the idea of the original books. They are not written by Jim Butcher and do not present Harry the way we all know and love the books.
But, if you can accept the differences and like the concept presented in the books, you will enjoy the tv shows too.
Too bad they only did one season. Perhaps if the DVD sales are popular, they will bring it back again.

Summary: A Huge Fan of the Books and I Love the TV Series, Too!!!
Comment: THE DRESDEN FILES - THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON, and sadly, the only season, are based on the novels by Jim Butcher. I love Jim Butcher's novels and Harry Dresden. While not an exact adaptation of Butcher's well-beloved series, THE DRESDEN FILES - THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON are still a lot of fun and well worth watching.
I have always thought of this series as a kind of Harry Potter meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Charmed meets X-Files meets Sam Spade. And somehow, that weird and wonderful combination just works. These shows have great atmosphere. The cinematography is clearly inspired by 1940s film noire. The colors are just muted enough to send you back in time to that era. The acting is great. Paul Blackthorne is an inspired choice to play our favorite wizard, Harry. Rough around the edges, sarcastic humor, tongue-in-cheek wit, world-weary voice, always fighting for the underdog, Blackthorne captures Harry to a tee. Now, whenever I read the books, I hear Blackthorne's voice in my head. That is a good thing. Terrence Mann is first-rate as Bob, the skull in Harry's basement. Mann is another excellent choice, as put upon and droll as Butcher wrote. But here, Bob's spirit can manifest outside of the skull, which is good for us. We get to really see the interactions and the bond between Harry and Bob. This is a definite plus, dare I say an improvement from the books. Something like an animated skull would not have worked nearly as well. The rest of the cast are equally good, committed to their roles and to the series. They make it all work, and add to the audience's enjoyment of these shows.
The plots are loosely based on different excerpts from various early Dresden books. They are a little less dark, a little less gruesome, and a lot simpler, but still captivating mystery stories, enthralling detective stories, and entertaining supernatural stories. All rolled into one. This series is definitely a keeper. To bad Sci Fi didn't think so. Perhaps THE DRESDEN FILES - THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON are destined to become a cult classic.
