The Dresden Files

The Dresden Files is a supernatural dramatic TV series based on the best-selling book series written by Jim Butcher adapted by the Syfy channel that follows Harry Dresden (Paul Blackthorne), a reluctant wise cracking wizard working in Chicago. Dresden ranks as the only wizard with an advertisement out in the Yellow Pages, offering up his services in the area of charms, potions, spells, and incantations to fight against the supernatural. Occasionally, he’s called upon by the Chicago Police Department in the form of Lt. Connie Murphy (Valerie Cruz), an officer who is about as skeptical about Dresden’s abilities as he is about modern technology (wizards and technology don’t mix). With the help of an old spirit sealed into his own skull named Hrothbert “Bob” of Bainbridge (Terrence Mann) and the Warden of the High Council (Conrad Coates), Dresden and Lt. Murphy try to solve the most bizarre cases, such as the butchering of werewolves and a woman being stalked by a Hellion. The Dresden Files is a more adult friendly version of Harry Potter where its antihero saves the day with his handy-dandy staff, otherwise known as a hockey stick, and his snarky wit. MORE
