I wasn't that big a fan. I started on the books, and tried very hard to ignore what I knew from the books. Even then, I didn't think it was very good. If you take the books into account, it was terrible. I'm sorry, Mr. Butcher, but your books are loads of fun, but the show sucked. JMO.

The show lacked the humor and wit of the books. That's where it really fell down as far as I was concerned. I could, grudgingly, accept a Murphy that wasn't hot, blonde and a badass, but changing her character up as much as they did was difficult.

Bob was semi-funny but not nearly as fun as he is in the books.

I like how Harry's magic works in the books, too. I like the way Butcher uses circles and the occult. It was completely left out of the show.

All of this is from watching 4 or 5 episodes. I couldn't stomach more than that. I was terribly disappointed. I'd rather see Sci-Fi invest into a GRRM or RJ cartoon or a live show with budget. There should be some money freed up with Battlestar retiring.
