GRIMM

[razorjak]

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.

It has, as of the last couple of episodes, found its groove and is turning into an enjoyable little nut-encrusted port-wine cheese-log of a television snack.

I'm a MAJOR fan of the original tales the Grimm brothers compiled, and indeed have studied them and written a thesis paper about them. I would eat, sleep, and breathe the tales if I could.

Still, I'm decidedly a fan of Grimm. Like you said, they're getting into some of the lesser-knowns, and have a solid story line. I'm ok with the not so special effects, and the acting works alright. I think it will get better as it goes along and they get used to their characters and explore motivations a bit more. At least, I hope it does. I'm crossing my fingers for more than one season, but also counting my blessings that it got picked up for the full season!
