Though I did try to watch the show when it was on Syfy and it didn't really grab me. Most "modern fantasy"/"urban fantasy" tend to come across as kind of trashy to me, though. It doesn't really help that stuff like True Blood or anything written by Laurell Hamilton kind of comes across a bit like softcore porn (which I think is mostly the fault of Anne Rice's influence on the genre, possibly with Poppy Z Brite making things worse). Give Dresden a chance man. the TV Series was more or less Dresden in name only. Executive meddling changed just about everything about the series. screw Poppy Z Brite and that sort of stuff. Dresden is far from softcore porn. if anything its more noir at first. I mean Butcher literally rolled character sheets for most of the main characters and writes them accordingly. Harry has the misfortune of high INT, WIS, AND CON so Butcher beats the shit out of him pretty consistently while he fights back using zero finesse in his castings. --- The SBA has closed for business, we thank you for your patronage Assassins. ~there's always free cheese in a mousetrap. <cite>WhiskeyDisk posted [p:946004158] in Compared t...
