Murphy was too tall!
At first I hated the hockey stick and the drum sticks, but after a few episodes I thought them funny.
And I would have preferred a beetle but the jeep was OK too. A bit more colourful and damaged would have been nice, but it was OK like this.
Bob took me a while to get used to, but I agree, that the actor did an amazing job. I even liked him more than the original Bob.
I liked Paul Blackthorne as Harry.
What I didn't like:
Almost no magic! I mean, come on!!! He is a wizard. Harry Dresden! And nothing set on fire, no kaboom...
And the cases were... so lala. It was a nice show, not boring but compared to the action in the books extremely lame.
Morgan was too nice. Ancient Mai was too young and too present, I mean she isn't mentioned in the books that often.
Murphy's father is alive. I think his death had great influence on Murphys character and her job decision, and it just wasn't there.
Murphy has a daughter. Why? Don't like that. And she is called Connie not Karrin.
And the worst background story: Justin DuMorne is called Justin Morningway and is Harry's uncle! Wtf!
No orphanage, no Elaine, no Walker,...
The whole background has been changed to be almost not recognizable.
All of that could have been done more in line with the books. Even with real actors.
The staff and blasting rod, the beetle, the duster!!! I forgot the missing duster!!!!
,
the kaboom magic, the fictional historical background.
One could have done Storm Front, Fool Moon and Grave Peril in one season. Maybe 15 episodes. 5 one hour episodes for each book. And the end of GP as a cliffhanger.
There could have been exploded hearts, hyperthyroid scorpions, werewolves, fae and vampires that come in different flavours.
It can be done now that more books are out. It would draw more potential readers, like the LotR and HP movies did.
Suddenly people I have never seen with a book started to read LotR, because there were the movies.
I don't think an animated show would draw that much of an audience like a show with real actors would, or maybe that is just my opinion, because I prefer real actors.
Maybe one could do both. First animated show and after all the book series is done (hope this will be the case one time), there can be a real actor show with CGI.
