AntonKJul 5, 2009The series sucks. As on of the commenters said. if someone liked the book, why didn't they include the things that make the book such a great read? Where's the blue beetle? the leather duster? Mister? Hells bells, what have they done?

JustinS.Jul 12, 2007This show sucks! The books are SOOO much better, the tone is way off, Dresden is WAAAY off, well everything 'cept the name is off, and the banter with Bob is kinda close. But even on its own merits, its a really bad show. Not engaging, way to cliche, nothing really original.

protttyFeb 23, 2007The books are great, the show started solid and it's improving every week. I hope the writers keep adding in ideas and characters from the books, because Butcher has created a very interesting world. There is potential here, for a truly great show....

DebbieB.Jul 4, 2007I really like this show. It was one of my favorite shows on Sci Fi. I liked it from the start, but the more episodes I watched the more I wanted to know about the characters. I found the characters to be charming, and quirky. I hope Sci Fi lets them have a second season.

KevinDFeb 18, 2007It's truly amazing that somebody liked the books enough to do the series but obviously has no interest in inclkuding any of the elments that make them such a great read. The pilot was so full of poor ideas and missed the point so much somebody must have made a great effort to do such a bad job. Here's hoping it gets better. But I'm not holding my breath!

[Anonymous]Apr 16, 2007Excellent! I have enjoed a show this much in ages. I've even given up the Sopranos to watch Dresden

miriamh.Jul 2, 2007I love Harry. The show is just OK though. Gets a bit too far-fetched, sometimes.

JessicaAug 16, 2007Love It! This is my replacement for Charmed.

stevnjJun 7, 2009I don't think you should rate this show on how it differs from the book and it may not be the best detective show out there it packs a punch in some of the episodes.

LindaTJan 26, 2007Excellent performance by Paul B.- gope storytelling aspect lives up to the characterization.

DrewFJan 30, 2007Space channel here in Canada sandwiched this in between Stargate: Atlantis and BSG on sunday nights, so I just taped it by happenstance. Gave it a shot and was surprised by just how interesting it was. I may check out the book series (now that I know it exists!) Hope this show is given a solid shot. It's pretty good.

MikeGFeb 11, 2007Great show so far...Seems to improve week to week.

ScottSFeb 14, 2007Very unique idea for a tv show. It has good acting in it and so far all of the storylines have been good.

JuneDFeb 21, 2007Sure it isn't the Dresden we see in the books but it is good and getting better. Way better than Buffy was by it's fourth episode !!

TorreyMMar 15, 2007Started slow, got better, now I'm hooked

MikeN.Mar 19, 2007LIkable hero, vaguely interesting universe, but too much of a by-the-numbers, connect the plot points, wrap it all up in 43 minutes action show to be worth taking any trouble to watch.

kWheelerMar 4, 2007Intriging, captivating story line, I like the guy with the white hair that can stick his head through walls.

robinM.Jul 1, 2007well done, entertaining & nice to see a main character who is not yuppie-shallow & picture perfect for a change

JulieKJul 10, 2007I liked the show from the beginning. It was a bit slow with the magic but picked up by season end. Dresden is a down to earth guy, not a muscle-bound-stuck-on-himself jock. That's appealing to see now a days.

EricJan 23, 2007I think there is alot of potential for this series. If the books are the guideline for the series then you are just now starting to learn about whodunit and whohasit.

JaneGJan 23, 2007We enjoyed the banter between Harry and Bob. The actors are clearly getting a handle on the complex characters. Dresden Files deserves an entire season...or two...or three to prove it's worth. Even Voyager got that much!

AlexCFeb 19, 2007Sci-fi hurt the series a bit by showing the episodes out of order, but the more Dresden we see, the better it gets.

DeWayneSFeb 28, 2007I still watch re-runs of the X Files and I deeply miss watching new X File episodes, then along comes the Dresden Files. Sci-Fi needed a good show, like Showtime needed Dexter. I think the Dresden Files will be a keeper and it can only get better(I hope)! DeWayne(FilmFreak) MovieDownloadMatrix.com

TMMar 15, 2007The pilot was weak but it is getting better every week!

GMMar 31, 2007The show started off weakly, but has gotten progressively better and better. The BSG/Dresden duo is now my favorite television night.

-
JeffNApr 14, 2007Pretty bland thus far, but not completely predictable, either. The fact that Harry isn't a cop, lawyer, or surgeon means this show has the potential to tell a new story or two. I hope so, because it's well cast and directed.

aeApr 22, 2007Character 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.

Nov 16, 2013Frankly 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!"

If you don’t like hints of Harry Potter mixed in with fairly straightforward procedural elements, this may not be the show for you.
-
These unsettling scenes are tough on the eyes, but happily, star Paul Blackthorne is well worth watching, full time.
-
Even with Blackthorne's occasionally engaging portrayal of Harry Dresden, this whodunit lacks the wit and imagination that might transform it into something special.
