Dorathen Better Late Then Never

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Sandra Lynne 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?

Tom Tinney I had watched these when they first came out. I recently re-watched them on HULU. If I had seen the series first, by itself, and not known about the world the Jim Butcher had created in the Dresden Files, I'd have been okay with the series. I probably would've even enjoyed it more. If I'd seen the TV show and then read the books, I'd have appreciated that the show brought me to the books. That was not the case.Unfortunately, the writers, producers and directors strayed so far from the books, characters, magic, and mantra, that they created a poor interpretation, ignoring what made the books so great. I hope they try again, someday, but with each book becoming three 1.5 hour shows. Or, they could take the "Side Jobs" approach to a series and never really do the books, except as full blown blockbuster movies. Now that's a good idea.

conjh13 So after reading many of the books, I finally got around to watching this show. Sadly, it's all too obvious to me why it only lasted a season.Normally when I watch a book-to-film adaptation, I prefer they keep it as close to the books as possible, even with word-for-word conversations if possible. In this case, I was prepared to give it a lot of leeway, expecting episodes where even the events are wholly different from the books. That I would have been OK with.The problem is, the show is just nothing like the books, in any way. None of the characters are similar (including Harry himself). The feel of the show is completely different.The Harry of the books is tall, snarky, sarcastic and tough. He's a total bad-ass, who wears a big black leather duster and generally carries a .45 or whatever other handgun he has available in his pocket, while wielding a big staff that barely fits in his banged up old Beetle.In the books, Murphy is a very petite, smart-as-a-whip fireball with a softer side she doesn't like to show.As for the feel, the books are far more detective noir, with a lot of insane action thrown in, none of which is present in the show. As I said before, Harry's a bad-ass. He's far more likely to be slinging fireballs than breaking out of jail and leaving behind an illusion. Heck, he's not even *good* at illusions.I'm just left completely dumbfounded as to why they even tried to rewrite it for the show, because there's so much more going on in the books. Usually, the *reason* they don't stick too the books too much is because there's not enough action. In this case, the show actually has less action than the books. It's pretty sad.I give it a 5/10, which is pretty darn generous considering what it should have been.

msgold I just watched the whole series on Netflix and was disappointed to see it was canceled. Clearly the network didn't realize it had a good thing going. Awesome stories, good suspense, good mix of magic and reality. Good acting. All in all a fun show to look forward to. If you are that niche of viewers who likes a mix of the film noir, a little bit of horror, with a load of fantasy and humor, then you will want to watch this show. Story lines are a clever, the dark forces are creatively thought out. And the way they are battled are also full of surprises. I'm constantly looking for good Sci-Fi/Fantasy, and its not always easy to find, because by good, it needs not only the components of magic, but a little world history and research, great character development, and compelling character interaction. Also the Dresden files had the action, sexual tension, and suspense that makes the show having you come back for more.
