The Dresden Files

Anybody seen this show? It's been described as Harry Potter written by Raymond Chandler and Douglas Adams.

It revolves around Harry Dresden, Wizard and part-time P.I... He's got a hockey stick for a staff and a ghostly sidekick named Bob. I've only seen one episode but this one's a keeper. Give more, to be very, very honest!

I tried reading the first Dresden Files book a few years back and I got very frustrated with it. If you ignore the magical aspects of the novel, most of Dresden's quips are blatantly ripped off from Phillip Marlowe and Robert B. Parker's Spenser, without any real characterization of his own. Admittedly, I didn't read very far into it, having thrown the book across the room when Dresden made some Spenser-esque comment like, "Yet my heart is pure" four chapters into it.

If he's fleshed out a bit more in the TV series, though. I may have to give it a shot.
The Dresden Files? You mean that filler material Sci Fi started airing before Battlestar Galactica? Nah, I just find something else to do until the REAL show comes on...
