The Dresden Files - TV Show
Date: 2020-07-21 07:16 pm (UTC)Media: TV show
Approx length: Just one season, with 12 episodes.
Where to find it: It's fairly easy to get hold of and is currently on Amazon Prime in the UK.
What is it, in summary?: A short-lived adaptation of Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden novels about a PI in Chicago who's also a wizard.
What do you love about it?: This series got a lot of criticism for not being a close adaptation of the novels, but personally I love it, and I'm gutted it didn't get a second season. It's a fairly loose adaptation, but I quite like that it does its own thing. I loved all the characters, and was hugely invested in the Harry-Bob relationship, particularly towards the last few episodes of the series, when they really started to bump up the loyalty kink to ridiculous levels. And if they improved on the books in any way (although admittedly I've only read the first couple of novels), it was the changes they made to Bob. It was worth it for that alone, IMO. :D
What sort of things are you likely to request for it? Mainly case-fic, worldbuilding, horror, character studies, genfic, and ship-fic. Shipwise, I like Harry/Murphy (m/f) and Harry/Bob (m/m), but I'm also here for intensely loyal Harry & Bob and for complicated Dresden-Morningway family dynamics.
