Comment on Dresden Files TV Show Canceled by Peter Dobrovic

In one sense I’m annoyed because I only got to see the last five minutes of the final episode that was aired in England recently, I didn’t even know the series was showing. But in another sense I’m very grateful as it caused me to check out the Dresden Files and I’ve just finished Blood Rites and I’m enjoying the books immensely. I hear what people say about the series being a stand alone project but would still be glad to see it when it is next shown.

I agree totally, I really wonder about scifi and their decision making when it comes to cancelling shows. This is not the first time!
This show had me gripped from the beginning, I had not heard about it before I watched in Netflix. Give me shows like this any day to the crap that’s being aired now!

I’m sure that someone else has mentioned it, but one of the reasons why the show didn’t work for people who were fans from the books was that it seemed to make strange concessions (hockey stick? really?). Frankly, they ought to have produced a book over the course of a season. Because monster-of-the-week shows just seem quaint, antiquated, and kitschy.

I heard the rights got bought back – maybe Starz or Netflix or Hulu or a Kickstarter can get this done. Because its working for Game of Thrones, right?

I also found Dresden files on netflix and loved it only to realize it was cancelled after only twelve episode.the show had everything…well written,great acting,action with enough supernatural flare to keep you glued to the screen. like so many great series that are cancelled we are left with trash tv. i for one will read more books untill more quality shows return.

I also discovered Harry Dresden as a consequence of tuning into the last five minutes of the final episode of the series. I’ve just finished Storm Front and am looking forward to reading the next installment of Harry’s adventures. I’ll also buy the DVDs as the series sounds great. A similar scheduling screw up took place with another fave series of mine called Alias. This was hopping about from one channel to the next so that you could not watch the storyline in sequence. I eventually bought it and would recommend it to anyone who has missed it. Anyway, here’s hoping that someone has the foresight to see future potential in the Dresden Files as it’s failure could simply be down to bad timing.

If you like urban fantasy, try the “Rivers of London” series by Ben Aaronovitch.
British author, set in London, bit edgier than Harry.
I spent a whole weekend prowling around the public libraries trying to get the 3rd book in the series; worth it.
