Grimm

[janedavitt]

David and I have been watching this show from episode one (rare for us to both watch a show; ones we have shared are Buffy/Angel, SPN, Chuck, True Blood, Game of Thrones, Top Chef which aren't many over the last 15 years or so) and I have to say I love it.

There's a dark edginess to it but Nick himself, despite being different in that he's a Grimm, is so very normal and just plain nice. He's a total sweetie-pie. Juliette, his girlfriend, after a slow start, is showing some interesting layers and can kick ass too. Love Hank and Wu, and Monroe is just plain adorable with Nick. Masses of chemistry there.

Lots of pretty, Nick and Hank especially, good diversity in the main characters (and I love the coroner who's an older woman, pragmatic, unflappable, unglamorous, in other words, she looks real), nice mix of single MotW episodes with an arc running behind them.

And that trailer is a cousin to the TARDIS, I swear :-)

Yep, am watching too. There are eps that I just shake my head, but they've certainly got their act together about characterization.

(What, no love for Renard?)

Ack, I forgot him! Added him now. How could I forget him? Duh.

Thanks for reminding me. I've seen the first four episodes and got sidetracked by the holidays. I, too, enjoy this show. I'm loving Monroe. :-)

My niece would like me to check out 'Once Upon A Time' also. I've read more positive reviews regarding that show, but it's always the 'underdog' that I prefer.

Which reminds me... I have another season of 'Haven' to watch.

Yes, Once got a lot of attention, Grimm not so much...
