The Dresden Files (2007–2008)
6/10
Canadian supernatural show
20 November 2021
Harry Dresden (Paul Blackthorne) is a wizard in Chicago. He's a supernatural detective who sometimes works with police Lt. Connie Murphy (Valerie Cruz) on some of her weirder cases. He's assisted by his late uncle Bob (Terrence Mann) who is a ghost. There is the High Council which works to keep magic from the public eye.

This is a Toronto-for-Chicago Canadian show. I like the world construction but I don't like Murphy not noticing all the magic. It makes her look dumb. Nevertheless, I like the actress. She's great and Blackthorne is great. Bob does need someone comedic to play him. I like the general structure of the big three. Back to the world construction, it's a little random to be dropped into this world without fully explained. The show needs to lay out his powers and the general premise of magic sooner. It also needs a Big Bad to drive the show for the first season. This feels like a 2/3 of a great show. It just needs to fill out the rest but it gets canceled before it had a chance.
