We’ve been watching the Dresden Files.
The supernatural setting is hardly original in the post-Buffy era, but the pace and the plotting of each episode make the series worth watching. They only made one series.
Paul Blackthorne plays Harry Dresden, and when I saw him he looked familiar – turns out his break into acting was in UK tv commercials.
He’s also a photographer and documentary maker.
BTW I love the books on which this series was based and have nearly all of them – let me know if you want to borrow any.
