The Dresden Files – New News
Posted By JM Bell on July 10, 2008
From Hulu.com’s blog:
Private detective Harry Dresden has it all: good looks, a growing practice and luck with the ladies. But the thing that makes the Chicago P.I. particularly successful is what also makes him unique. Dresden is a wizard, so he uses magic to help solve cases in The Dresden Files, today’s Hulu Days of Summer debut.
I missed this show during its one-season run last year. It’s a shame, too, because it has all the things I love in a good paranormal show. Like his counterparts on Buffy, Angel and Charmed, Dresden encounters the seedier underbelly of his city, including ghosts, vampires, werewolves, incubi and even dragons, and he uses spells, a magical hockey stick and good old-fashioned fighting skills to overpower and banish the bad guys to another realm.
Dresden doesn’t do it all by himself, of course. He has help from Lt. Connie Murphy, a tough cop who comes to Dresden whenever she encounters supernatural cases; Bob, a dry-witted medieval ghost who serves as his adviser; and Morgan, a warden from the High Council of wizards who’s a stickler for rules.
So, while the series has gone the way of other Brilliant shows (Firefly, anyone?), at least you can catch them for free on Hulu.com.
Hey Jeff,
What a cool show, I didn’t even realize that show existed. I’m going to order the dvd set. Thanks for posting about it.
