This show is catching a lot of flak from fans of the book for not staying true to every line in the source material. Their quick to point out the flaws but what they fail to see is the important story aspects the kept intact for the show. Such as the characters and the over all storyline. The Dresden Files is a good adaptation from the books. Harry is the same ol' reluctant curmudgeonly anti-hero thats in the book. Bob is still a relentless perv. Murphy is still the hard nosed detective. There is some good unspoken sexual tension between Harry and Murphy I might add. The stories are cool and the magic is unique and doesn't follow the Hollywood cliché's. In addition; Harry's nonchalant take on life and death situations aggravated further by his smart mouth is always entertaining. The best thing about the Dresden Files is that it seems like the story lines are different enough from the books that if you see an episode based on a book you haven't read yet its not going to spoil the story.
