Title: Don't waste your money
Review: This series failed as a TV show for one main reason: it failed to grip the imagination well. They gutted most of the elements that makes the books so charming and gripping, as TV networks often do, in their oh-so tepid attempts to broaden the appeal of the show to gain more viewers. What SF channel failed to realize is they could have made this a very popular SF show a la Battlestar Galactica by getting talented writers, producers with some imagination and let them run free with little interference and make some really memorable, striking storylines.Instead we got Harry Dresden lite, and this show died an early death. I watched the entire series on TV and ended up forcing myself to watch the last few episodes, groaning most of the way through. I am disappointed on many levels as the books are excellent and I was very excited to see them develop them into a serialized TV show, but the show failed to capture the magic of the books.
Is the review positive or negative?
