Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden ist Privatdetektiv in Chicago. Ein ganz normaler Typ, wären da nicht seine magischen Fähigkeiten, denn Harry Dresden ist zugleich ein Zauberer. Er weiss, dass viele Verbrechen einen übernatürlichen Ursprung haben. Deshalb muss er sich in seinen Fällen meistens nicht mit den üblichen Verbrechern herumschlagen. Sondern mit Dämonen, Vampiren und anderen Wesen, von deren Existenz kaum jemand weiss. Aus diesem Grund wird Harry auch regelmässigr als Berater der Polizei hinzugezogen, wenn ein Fall merkwürdig scheint.

Bad trip to old graphics and corny storylines. Way to much sideinfo, the eighties mumbo jumbo.
Welp I haven't watched this since it first air back then I didn't know about the books and I was too young to consider there might be books I might be able to find and read. Since then the book series has rapidly become one of my favorites after binging books 1-17+short stories two years ago. Since then coming back to this show I enjoyed as a youth and was sad to see it get cancelled, obviously I have thoughts. First of all this is a bad adaption. Not Wheel of Time bad but more Legend of the Seeker bad. That said as I've said repeatedly The Borne Identity has proven that a bad adaptation doesn't necessarily make bad media. Unlike The Wheel of Time I think the Dresden Files had room to grow. It has 12 episodes and a much easier plot to get into compared to WoT. The first few episodes kinda show this. They're nothing like the books. Honestly most of the series has nothing to do with the book except for general concepts. I could easily see the season being a big setup to get you invested in Harry and what he does in order to then start to filter in more book stuff. There's a lot of missing characters who would be perfect to show up. Mister is mentioned but Mouse is missing, as are Michael, Mac, and I think Marconne. But we do get some essentials, Karen, Morgan, White Council (via Ancient Mai), Bob. I think it's a good enough show that could have found it's footing. The casting was perfectly fine. I liked the actors for Dresden and Karen and Bob was excellent. The show just never settled well enough to be comprehensive in anyway. It would have imo been better to try the monster of the week formula as a means of introduction. The final episodes at least did have some good emotional beats that felt earned at least. Now being a reader of the books I do hope one day we get another stab at it though like Wheel of Time I worry about the scale. TDF starts off small enough focusing on a wizard in Chicago and the wizard things he does but after a while it starts to ramp up to such a scale that if I hadn't watched Supernatural I'd say would not be feasible on Television.
the first few episodes were extremely cheesy. after episode 3 I had doubts if I wanted to continue to bother with the other few or not. 1x05 is the only good episode in this series. the biggest 'miss' in this series is that there is no proper pilot. you just get thrown in there. no character build up, no red line in the series. just a number of stories or scripts based on a book line thats made into series.... too bad, there was some nice potential there, but it's really not surprising it got cancelled
Very nices series, to bad it was cancelled =/
Upon rewatching the show, it is a disappointment. The writing is shoddy or worse. The casting isn't all that good. In some cases the casting is quite poor, but it is somewhat hard to tell with the bad writing. Except for Terrence Mann as Bob, who was great.
