My wife and I are huge Dresden fans, have read all the books and can't wait for what comes next after Small Favor.  So, with this in mind we decided to rent Season 1 of the tv series.  Extremely disappointing.  I suppose if you had never read the books it might be okay, but after having read the entire series twice, we have definite mental pictures of all the characters and locations, Harry's mannerisms, his home, Bob, etc. 

The series fell way short of matching anything.  We will not be renting anymore of the series needless to say.  About the only thing we really enjoyed about it was picking it apart and pointing out the glaring inaccuracies.
