This really is dark and grimm and the lore ? It is just awesome the characters are great it has dark comedy with each episode just getting darker and darker I literally binge watched it one day. That's how good the show is.
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 .
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 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!

It might be a little gorey for your 5-7 year old, think original grimms tales level of gore. We let ours watch it without issue. Super fun, and the really bad stuff isn't shown. It also includes some of the lesser known stories like the devils 3 golden hairs.
Contrary to what a prior review said. The queen is poc and the king isn't so the siblings are going to also be racially diverse. As diverse as the cast is, it's not a topic in the show. Anyone complaining about it needs to chill, kids don't care, and if you do, work on that.

- TriviaThe ravens (unnamed in the books) are called Wilhelm/William, Jacob, and Dotty. Wilhelm (the German form of William) and Jacob Grimm are the brothers who collected Grimm's fairytales on which this story is based and their mother's name was Dorothea, for which Dotty is a common nickname. "Dotty" is also a slang word that means "crazy" or "not altogether there."
