Title: Being a fan of the books, I was not prepared to like this show
Review: Just too many changes to suit my taste. The hockey stick instead of his staff? Murphy in no way resembles Murphy? Bob is animate? He drives a Jeep?It sounds like small stuff, but taken en toto it seemed like the series would not be too much like the books I have loved since the beginning.Bob's first appearance convinced me that sometimes change can be very good. The hockey stick's making sense, too. Okay, I still don't like Murphy. I wish Valerie Cruz had been Susan Rodriguez and the cute, perky blonde who played Susan was Murphy. So--I mostly ignore Murphy and concentrate on the things I love about this series.I hope this one lasts a long time, but my track record for picking winners on TV is very low. Grab this one while you can if you enjoy the books, it'll surprise you. If you like paranormal detectives, you'll like it, too.
