I finished the entire season last night.  It has the same detective
noir type of feel that I liked in Moonlight (which was also cancelled
after one season and which I saw two weeks ago - gotta love Netflix).
I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys that sort of
genre (Moonlight [vampire and not wizard, LA vs. Chicago] was slicker
but Dresden Files was somewhat grittier].

Also, the actors who played Dresden and Bob were very good.  It makes
sense all things considering, but "Bob's" Brit accent was so so good.
And "Dresden's" American accent was so good he had me totally fooled
until I saw the behind the scenes bit.  I'd love it if the detective
noir genre came back into style; the CSI/forensics-style shows can
only hold me so long.  :(

Alla, I'm guessing you'd recommend the Dresden books then?  I'm about
to order the first 2 or 3 off Amazon because the TV series got me
hooked.  After all, Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys were my first loves
in life, and I've been on a supernatural kick as of late (Moonlight,
Dark Knight, Twilight series, etc.)

~Ali, who wonders whatever happened to the popularity of Nancy Drew
and the Hardy Boys
