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

...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.

Rarely does a series move me to review it. But this one is quite special. The premise is almost like Monsters Inc where the little girl scares the monsters under the bed - just made for adults. And what a lot of monsters there are here! The possibilities are almost endless...
Vaguely based on the Grimm tales, this series transports those tales into the 21st century far better than any other recent attempt at it. Each episode is a surprise, some have major frights in them, though the one criticism I have is that the main character isn't "grim" enough.
But to me the revelation - and half the fun of this show - is the character Monroe, played masterfully by Silas Weir Mitchell - truly funny, bringing a human touch to the monsters on display... he truly deserves an award for his role in this.

I don't know how I missed this when it came out back in 2011 or how I never heard of it until 2022 on Prime, but wow, am I glad I found it now.
I"m on season 6 and am sad because this is the last season and I don't want it to end.
It sort of reminds me of Buffy for older viewers, and I love the chemistry all of the characters have with one another.
I like the monster of the week episodes best, but I felt the same way back when I watched the XFiles and Supernatural...just a lot more fun with monster of the week episodes, lol.
My favorite characters are Rosalee and Monroe. They remind me of Xander and Willow. I'd totally watch a spinoff based on them.
It's a fun series, and as a fan of all shows with a supernatural bent, I wish there were more like this.

'Grimm' (2011-2017)
Opening thoughts: 'Grimm' appealed to me straightaway, despite taking a while to get round to it. Absolutely loved the premise which was the show's biggest selling point, darker, more supernatural and more mysterious twists on famous fairytales (some already quite dark) sounded absolutely great. Different twists on famous stories and characters is not a new thing, with shows like 'The 10th Kingdom' and 'Once Upon a Time' still existing, but they didn't have the tone and themes that 'Grimm' did.
As an overall whole, 'Grimm' was really impressive. Actually found the earlier seasons absolutely wonderful, while finding that the show started to run out of ideas a little in the last few ones. There is actually very little wrong, but the very little that is wrong turned out to be quite big issues when they became more prominent. They are outweighed though by what 'Grimm' does right, which is a lot and most of the components were executed outstandingly.
Bad things: Am going to begin with the not so good things. It is brought down by two characters that really annoyed me, with both being flatly acted. One was Adalind, who didn't have an awful lot of personality, or at least to begin with, and her soap operatic antics did too often irritate (some unnecessary). Did appreciate though that she was made more sympathetic later. Even worse was Juliette, who is incredibly annoying, especially when she was more dominant (i.e. Season 4). Due to her stubborn-ness, selfishness and know it all nature being exaggerated in the writing.
There were times where the storytelling relied a little too much on contrivances and coincidences.
Good things: So much is fantastic. Most of the acting is fine, with David Guintoli and Silas Weir Mitchell being throughout absolutely captivating. Nick is a fascinating and charismatic character and loved how truly Monroe often is. Their chemistry is great fun. The characters on the most part are well written and had well fleshed out personalities and development, Nick particularly. A vast majority of the writing is full of wit and intrigue, apart from some soap opera creeping in in the latter seasons.
Furthermore, a vast majority of the storytelling is very imaginative, deliciously dark and full of entertainment value, with any conflicts having a good deal of suspense. Wholly living up to the great premise. The mystery elements always intrigued, the spin on the stories and characters used inspired and inventive as well as uncompromising and the supernatural ones were just about easy to follow. The villains are suitably menacing. It is a very well made show and looks a lot more expensive than it actually was, very atmospheric scenery and sets, wonderfully moody photography and lighting and the effects didn't look cheap. The music had energy but also an ominous vibe.
Concluding thoughts: Concluding, very good and often fantastic.
8/10.

Wusstest du schon
- WissenswertesIt was claimed at Comic Con that actual descendants of the Brothers Grimm reside in Portland. However there are no descendants of the brothers who compiled the fairy-tales, so the fan was mistaken or lying. Many people want to believe they are descended from the Grimm brothers, and the genealogists give the same answer - the Two Grimm brothers have no living descendants, Jacob had no children, and Wilhelm had no grandchildren, so their line ended there. However the Grimm family of Jacob and Wilhelm had more siblings who however were not working on the fairy-tales, e.g, their only sister Charlotte Grimm (1793-1833) who had 6 children, painter and copper engraver Ludwig Emil Grimm (1790-1863) or writer Ferdinand Philipp Grimm (1788-1845). So anyone who can actually trace their family back to a family called Grimm can only be (at best) a descendant of one of the brothers siblings. The surname Grimm does not mean someone is related to the Brothers Grimm; it was hardly a unique surname.
- PatzerSgts Wu (Reggie Lee) and Franco (Robert Blanche) are often seen patrolling together. While this is an efficient way to give Franco more screen time, sgts would never patrol together. Sgts, when out on patrol, ride with less experienced officers, usually rookies.
