Magic vs. Mayhem
If you crossed a private detective along the lines of Sam Spade or Jim Rockford with Harry Potter, you’d end up with the basic idea behind The Dresden Files, a new series airing on the Sci-Fi Channel starting Sunday at 9 p.m.
Based on the novels by Jim Butcher, it stars Paul Blackthorne as Harry Dresden, a Chicago private eye who is also a wizard. (He advertises as both in the Chicago phone book). Dresden has one foot in each world, the everyday existence we all live in, and the realm of the supernatural.
A word of warning for younger fans of wizardry, or their parents: this show is not aimed at children. The first episode, for example, includes some corpses who have been skinned and a boy stolen from his bed by the Raven Clan, creepy thugs-for-hire in the magical world. (My 10-year-old won’t be watching.) Full Story

I'm really looking foreward to The Dresden Files - the promos look really good and I am in love with the idea behind the premise (Harry Potter junkie that I am!). I think it might be able to fill the void in my heart left when they cancelled Angel!
Have you read the books? Are they worth checking out?
