Critic Reviews

Gloria Goodale

These unsettling scenes are tough on the eyes, but happily, star Paul Blackthorne is well worth watching, full time. Read full review

Marilyn Moss

Brooding, seductive and smart. Read full review

Robert Bianco

Like Harry, the show has yet to fully master its tricks. There are a few decent jolts, but nothing is truly frightening or even that threatening. And while the show can be amusing, it's never exactly side-splitting. Read full review

Alan Sepinwall

It isn't until the werewolf-themed fourth episode that "Dresden Files" finally gives you a trick worth applauding. Hopefully, there's more of that to come. Read full review

Gillian Flynn

An uneven fantasy series that's not eerie enough to be a culty favorite or goofy enough to be a guilty pleasure. Read full review

David Hinckley

"Dresden" hasn't put a spell on me at the start - but it's not bad. It's just that on Sundays, opposite such shows as "Desperate Housewives" and "Rome," not bad is not nearly good enough. Read full review

Rob Owen

Dresden's investigations amount to a lot of ho-hum hokum... and his relationships are largely paint-by-number bland. Read full review

Frankly if you want to like this show read the books after you finish the series's one season. It will get you interested but you wont have the screaming fits "That's not what happens in the book, What is this BS!"
Trust me.

Character driven series have to start off slow. It takes a little time to get to know people. A second season would let the show really hit it's stride--and make me extremely happy.
