Most reviewers compare the novels to the show! Very understandable but ultimately a waste of time! I already have given up on the ability of producers to successfully adapt novels and comic books! Sometimes I am just satisfied if they manage to capture the essence of a novel or comic! It is better to see an adaptation as an alternative universe of the original story! That way the viewing experience will be more enjoyable! So not having read the books I can give a more objective view on the dresden files! And i think it is an entertaining show that is getting better each episode! Paul Blackthorne does a good job in the acting department! He is very charming and convincing! His sidekick Bob is a nice addition! Even if Bob is a ghost it is obvious that Harry and Bob are friends and that is nice to see! I have read on wikipedia that Harry Dresden is a very powerful wizard! In this show that isn't very clear because he doesn't use strong magic that often! After having seen 7 episodes this is explained due to the fact that Harry Dresden is reluctant to use dark magic because it is addictive and destructive! It seems to me that in future episodes they will let him use more and stronger magic in order to show a more darker side of Harry Dresden! At least that would make more sense and would be interesting! You can always hope! For now I enjoy this show as it is! Overall this is a nice take take on detective mystery shows!
