Grimm

I watched this series with pleasure. It was not too intense but also never shallow. Nice series for relaxed evenings.

Grimm is a really good show where you basically learn that Grimm's fairy tales was not really fairy tales after all. Nick, the main character, is coming to terms with this whole new world and the fact that he is a Grimm. I like that this is the type of show that you can watch with friends, kids, and even your grandmother because it's good for all audiences. I love supernatural type shows and this is a really good one. The only real complaint that I have about the show is the acting, mostly, Juliette's acting. She is just not a real character that you learn to grow and love like most shows typically do. When things happen to her it's pretty much just like whatever, he's better off because her acting or lack there of can get pretty annoying. Anyway, really good show and do recommend.

Do you like fables? Fantasy stories and creatures in general? You will have quite the feast here - if you accept certain flaws that is. While the characters are nicely written, this falls mostly under the monster of the week category. There is some building up and characters developing to a certain extent. But it also lets them do things and then lets them get away without or little consequences.

There is also quite the coincidences and stuff that does not make sense. Things get sweaped under the rug and we have the "Buffy" level of knowledge: check the book. Which is all fine and dandy, but also quite a stretch to be fair. I know that some might feel the world depicted here is a stretch itself, which is fair. But even in the world and the rules set, it breaks them from time to time to say the least.

You can't be too mindful of things like that, otherwise you won't enjoy the show at all. It is fun and watching the outtakes make you like the actors even more. Which might make it harder to rate this the way you wanted to rate it ... I was thinking about going an 8 just because of that, but even though the finale was also very good, it was also very predictable and gave us a character (re)turn, that should not have happened. The lines can blur between good and evil ... but sometimes it is too much ... not to mention the return of ... but let's leave the soap opera elements alone and just enjoy this for what it is ... light and fun entertainment

In the beginning, I wasn't sure if I will watch it or give up on it, but after a few episodes I was completely addicted. The show follows the usual pattern of crime dramas, but its focus is on cases that involve beings from fairy-tales. None of those aspects is new or original, but till now shows were focused either on one or another, while the way this show combines them is new and interesting, made to attract both fans of crime dramas like "CSI" and fans of fantasy like "Supernatural" or "Once Upon a Time". Warm recommendation to everyone, regardless of what genre you prefer.

8/10

...you skip every scene this annoying turd Juliette is appearing in or being talked about. After I started skipping the above mentioned scenes, the show was quite entertaining and fun to watch. I can't help it, but this character just annoys the f out of me, as many other reviewers already said.

The rest of the show is nothing spectacular and the scheme is always the same but if you don't binge it, it is quite good.

As others already wrote, I don't get it, why most american shows insist on turning themselves into soap operas all the time regardless of the genre. Every show hast this romance and relationship crap in them. It has become really difficult finding something which doesn't consist of a dozen relationships, romances, marriage, divorce, whatever stuff.
