GRIMM

I am a huge fan of the unabridged fairy tales compiled by the Brothers Grimm. Hence I was apprehensive of checking out GRIMM.

Well, thanks to HULU, I have been mildly surprised. Especially since, with the third episode, they've delved into stories that aren't in the list of the most famous stories.

The acting is a bit wooden. The effects are decidedly low budget ( as in Special Unit 2 had better CGI a decade ago ). But the storyline is solid. I like it.

Normally, if I like a show, it's cancelled within a season. I'm glad to see that NBC actually picked it up for a full 22 episodes. Maybe there will be more.

I agree, she probably didn't make a distinction. A monster is a monster, right? Well, with that logic, you become the monster that the monsters fear. Frightening thought, that. Still, I loved that she was a strong female character, and that she, being a frail old lady, was the bad ass from the start, not the nephew, who's still figuring everything out--which is perfect for his character.
