Grimm: Season 1 (6 Discs)

I have to say that this is one of the best t.v programmes that has been on t.v in a very long time. I love how it tells the story of the darker side of fairy tales..Nick, Hank and Munroe are great and so fun to watch. Cannot wait for season two to out.

Some people dont get this programme but hey, everyone to their own taste...

This series was new to me my best friend got me into it when i went round to her house for a cup of tea one morning. After seeing a few episodes i was hooked.
Every episode was different showing some dark and weird people in it that Nick and Hank had to deal with.
At times Nick's friend munroe was on hand to help him in his quest to bring the people that killed others to justice.
All three characters are brilliant and really made the series exciting and interesting.
Can't wait until the next season comes out really looking forward to that.

It is difficult to watch Grimm without immediately drawing comparisons to Supernatural. Ok it may focus specifically on the stories of Grimm's Fairytales specifically but within the first fifteen minutes of the pilot Detective Burkhardt learns not only that he comes from a long line of monster hunters but also that his parents may have been killed as a result.

Much like a more orthodox police procedural each episode of Grimm finds Burkhardt and his partner attempting to solve a different case and while this certainly makes for a watchable hour of television something more is required if I am going to come back week after week. Supernatural certainly has its fair share of standalone episodes but it was always the dark humour and evolving five season story arc involving the brother's attempts to avert the apocalypse that kept me hooked and, while it certainly improved as the season progressed, I still found Grimm lacking slightly in both respects.

Much of the cast, including lead David Giuntoli, are certainly competent enough but it is difficult to describe any of the characters, other than possibly his werewolf friend, as particularly memorable. In fact that can probably be said about the show as a whole, competent but unmemorable.

Supernatural meets Once Upon a Time, with shades of the X-Files, and the feel of Millenium, all stirred up for your wonderous delight, Must see tv, and at the time of writing this, it has been signed up for a third season.....
