A Tale Dark & Grimm

I read this book growing up, and always thought the book was twisted but I really enjoyed it. So naturally, when I saw this on Netflix, it's a must-watch.

The series stay loyal to the original storyline, it's just as gory and just as disturbing. For those of you who are displeased because of how creepy and twisted it is- that's the point! Gidwitz portrayed the Grimm brothers' tales in a different light is all.

I noticed a lot of remarks about Hansel's skin color. Personally, I didn't mind the fact that Hansel is darker than Gretel; genetics are a weird thing. Also, why would it matter? As a colored folk, I would have loved to see more colored folks like myself on the TV growing up.

Overall, this series is perfect for a Halloween night with the kids. It's not that gory, I promise!

I was very surprised by the good quality of this show. Really captured me.

My favourite character would be Mrs Baker. The crows were hilarious too.

This is a show everybody could watch. It was creepy in some parts, sad in others and it had me laughing out loud. I am definitely glad i watched it. Well written and acted out.

I really enjoyed the mini-series. The stories were told in a very interesting way that keeps you in anticipation to see what will happen with the characters. I really liked the type of humour they've used. Dotty( the raven) became my favourite character as she is super hilarious and the actress Erica Rhodes has really nailed the part. I was super impressed with her performance! The other actors were also great. The animations were very nice and I really liked the way the tale was told so that it becomes interesting for an adult as well, not only for children. I definitely recommend it .

I never read the book but as a series it is amazingly funny with some (ofcourse) dark and sarcastic humor. It isn't mind blowing but interresting enough to keep facinated by it.

I just keep wondering what age it targets...I think it is a bit too horrible for most 6y old but also often a bit too simplistic for older childeren and adults.
