Title: No magic here
Review: As with other reviewers, and as a fan of the Jim Butcher books, I too wanted to like this series. I've watched the first episode and am struggling to find the enthusiasm to continue. Why the TV writers felt the need to rewrite the characters is a mystery to me. Bob the visible sidekick? Well, maybe. But Murphy as a tall brunette with a kid? WTF? I think Butcher has created some well-drawn memorable characters, so why did the TV writers decide to scrap the entire book series? It seems as if all they did was take the character's name, none of his traits. Where is Dresden's trademark duster? Why does he drive a Jeep and not the Blue Beetle? If the rest of the series is a badly done as the first episode, my copy of the DVD set will soon be transported to the trade-in store.
Is the review positive or negative?
