    LOVED this show. Watched it twice. I discovered it on Netflix. Like many other shows I enjoyed, it ended in an untimely fashion. ex: The Finder, Kyle XY, Roswell, The Witches of Eastend, Frequency, to name a few. Very disappointing. Who gets to vote on which shows get cancelled and which ones do not? And where do I sign up?

Not just for quality but the potential of these unique stories. http://epguides.com/DresdenFiles/Storm Front (espisode 8) is #1 Rules of Engagement (episode 4) is #2 Birds of a Feather (episode 1) is #3 The Boone Identity (episode 2) is #4 Hair of the Dog (episode 3) is #5 Walls (episode 7) is #6 Bad Blood (episode 5) is #7 Soul Beneficiary (episode 6) is #8 What about Bob? (episode 10) is #9 The Other Dick (episode 9) is #10 Things that go Bump (episode 11) is #11 Second City (episode 12) is #12I'd planned to watch them in sequence in anticipation of the new season, now I'll watch them in sequence to enjoy a series that ended much too soon.

    How to kill a show before it even begins 101: First and foremost, take an interesting and unique premise and water it down as much as humanly possible. Second, cut the special effects budget to the bare bones. Third, make sure you cast unlikeable and unappealing actors who have the on-screen chemistry of a pile of salt. Fourth, depart as much from the source material as you can get away with while still keeping the franchise rights, and finally, sixth, suck away all sense of atmosphere or depth by using as many directing clichés as possible.Stars and Stones, no wonder this series died. Most people read the books and then are disappointed by the series, but I did this backwards. I was disappointed by the series, and then floored by the books. Not that Jim Butcher is the reincarnation of Hemingway or anything, but his stories are gripping, entertaining, and ruthlessly addictive. Every sentence moves the story along, which is a trick Stephanie Meyer and J.K. Rowling need to learn.The plot centers around Harry Dresden, a wizard in modern day Chicago who battles supernatural threats. In the book it's a sort of urban fantasy noir kind of feeling with a nerdy, but likable protagonist. In the series, it's a kind of Charmed with no hot chicks, which is all that show had going for it for most of the run.I don't care that they changed a lot of the details, what got to me was how incompetently the stories were told and how unlikeable and flat the characters were. I honestly had no emotional investment in the stories, which is the exact opposite of what Jim Butcher does in his work. I watched two episodes, the pilot "Storm Front" and the first episode, and I was pretty much done halfway through each.Ignore the show. Read the books.

    Bought the whole season after reading the first 8 books of the Dresden Files, and I must say: This is completely and utterly crap! I really can't understand why anyone who actually read and liked the books will find any remote interest in this show. It has nothing to do with the books what so ever. Everything is changed, and I mean absolutely everything. One can understand limitations concerning budget and so on, but this really won't do. Deviations to better adapt the books to television always happen, but really... What they have done here is more in line of creating Harry Potter where Harry instead were named Harriet and she went to boarding school in Romania... They also managed to fill the ethnic-quota...that means of course Morgan.(Anyone remember Kingpin in Daredevil?) Obviously nothing wrong with that, except Morgan is NOT a black man.In my opinion the ones who wrote the scripts for this obviously haven't read a single book. They tried to make a cross-breed between x-files and Buffy, and in that they probably succeeded, but this has nothing to do with the Dresden Files.Hopefully someone wants to take this to the big screen, and maybe, just maybe they'll do the books justice. Give this to Peter Jackson and I'm sure he'll make it perfect.
