alexandral"Dresden files" had a strange start for me. I am still struggling with the cinematography and the colour scheme of the series. I know not all of the TV series about supernatural matters should be filmed in a way "Supernatural" is filmed, but I seem to enjoy things so much more when they are filmed beautifully. Muted colours of "Dresden files", it’s cheap-TV-series filming and it’s poorly done monsters don’t do much for me. BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even with all my misgivings about the cinematography, I find myself loving it more and more over these past few weeks. The series are so very good on many levels that I try to immerse into it’s visual way..
Great things about the series:
- Good story about things supernatural is always a winner with me. Especially when it is a well-thought-through story with so many things in the past to discover and so many things in the future to be developed, with strong and coherent world-building.
- Especially when it has a main hero who is a wizard, and also is original, quirky, attractive in SPADES and has his way with words on a snarky side. On top of that he CARES and wants to protect everyone and does not think of himself. And to add more, he has a haunted and dark past and a disregard for authorities. I am already done for!
- Strong heroine who is in the life-long OTP with the main hero. And their relationship is doomed from the very beginning as heroine knows nothing about supernatural world and she must never discover this world underneath her own world because this will put her in terrible danger. (And this is where "Dresden files" are much better then "Supernatural" for me. I need a heroine to bond with!!!!!!!!)
- Hero’s sidekick is already dead but cheerful, witty and has a great choice of ties
Harry Dresden (Paul Blackthorne): WIZARD Lost Items Found. Paranormal Investigations. Consulting. Advice. Reasonable Rates. No Love Potions, Endless Purses, Parties, or Other Entertainment.
Scruffy-looking??? I say – gorgeous, especially when he starts talking with the velvety voice of his
Lt. Connie Murphy (by Velerie Cruz). Strong. Loyal. Intelligent. Lovely.
Bob (Terence Mann). Already dead but hasn’t lost his appetite for life:
Way too-good-looking Warden of the High Council for Chicago Morgan (Conrad Coates):

I haven't really had a TV series OTP for a while. When I watched the X-Files it was Mulder and Scully. I do believe Dresden and Murphy are my new OTP.
Did you see last night's show yet!? OMG!

My daughter, who has read all the books already, was all a twitter when Harry kissed Murphy. But then she is twelve and you know how twelve year olds are about things like that. ;)
