nobody tells me anything

SciFi Channel is starting a TV series based on The Dresden Files? I had heard a mess of good stuff about the books, so I just picked up the first of them. I had no idea that they were getting their own show... The role of Harry is played by Paul Blackthorne, who did not particularly impress me as the main villain of season 3 of "24" - but that might have been the material, not his ability as an actor.
