Featured reviews
After viewing the pilot of this show, I think it has a lot of potential. Yes it follows the tried and true formula of expose modern individual to some sort of secret war/history/duty/etc, but there is a lot they can do with it from there. It did its job as a pilot: introduce characters, introduce conflict, and give you the general idea how the episodes will go. I think it is about time we had a new show that runs the good old man vs. monster bit, especially one that isn't prone to becoming some touchy-feely WB-esque teen drama. While its too early to judge the show as a whole, it promises good things. I hope it delivers.
Rarely does a series move me to review it. But this one is quite special. The premise is almost like Monsters Inc where the little girl scares the monsters under the bed - just made for adults. And what a lot of monsters there are here! The possibilities are almost endless...
Vaguely based on the Grimm tales, this series transports those tales into the 21st century far better than any other recent attempt at it. Each episode is a surprise, some have major frights in them, though the one criticism I have is that the main character isn't "grim" enough.
But to me the revelation - and half the fun of this show - is the character Monroe, played masterfully by Silas Weir Mitchell - truly funny, bringing a human touch to the monsters on display... he truly deserves an award for his role in this.

I don't know how I missed this when it came out back in 2011 or how I never heard of it until 2022 on Prime, but wow, am I glad I found it now.
I"m on season 6 and am sad because this is the last season and I don't want it to end.
It sort of reminds me of Buffy for older viewers, and I love the chemistry all of the characters have with one another.
I like the monster of the week episodes best, but I felt the same way back when I watched the XFiles and Supernatural...just a lot more fun with monster of the week episodes, lol.
My favorite characters are Rosalee and Monroe. They remind me of Xander and Willow. I'd totally watch a spinoff based on them.
It's a fun series, and as a fan of all shows with a supernatural bent, I wish there were more like this.

...you skip every scene this annoying turd Juliette is appearing in or being talked about.
After I started skipping the above mentioned scenes, the show was quite entertaining and fun to watch. I can't help it, but this character just annoys the f out of me, as many other reviewers already said.
The rest of the show is nothing spectacular and the scheme is always the same but if you don't binge it, it is quite good.
As others already wrote, I don't get it, why most american shows insist on turning themselves into soap operas all the time regardless of the genre. Every show hast this romance and relationship crap in them. It has become really difficult finding something which doesn't consist of a dozen relationships, romances, marriage, divorce, whatever stuff.

Grimm is a really good show where you basically learn that Grimm's fairy tales was not really fairy tales after all. Nick, the main character, is coming to terms with this whole new world and the fact that he is a Grimm. I like that this is the type of show that you can watch with friends, kids, and even your grandmother because it's good for all audiences. I love supernatural type shows and this is a really good one. The only real complaint that I have about the show is the acting, mostly, Juliette's acting. She is just not a real character that you learn to grow and love like most shows typically do. When things happen to her it's pretty much just like whatever, he's better off because her acting or lack there of can get pretty annoying. Anyway, really good show and do recommend.

- TriviaIt was claimed at Comic Con that actual descendants of the Brothers Grimm reside in Portland. However there are no descendants of the brothers who compiled the fairy-tales, so the fan was mistaken or lying. Many people want to believe they are descended from the Grimm brothers, and the genealogists give the same answer - the Two Grimm brothers have no living descendants, Jacob had no children, and Wilhelm had no grandchildren, so their line ended there. However the Grimm family of Jacob and Wilhelm had more siblings who however were not working on the fairy-tales, e.g, their only sister Charlotte Grimm (1793-1833) who had 6 children, painter and copper engraver Ludwig Emil Grimm (1790-1863) or writer Ferdinand Philipp Grimm (1788-1845). So anyone who can actually trace their family back to a family called Grimm can only be (at best) a descendant of one of the brothers siblings. The surname Grimm does not mean someone is related to the Brothers Grimm; it was hardly a unique surname.
- GoofsSgts Wu (Reggie Lee) and Franco (Robert Blanche) are often seen patrolling together. While this is an efficient way to give Franco more screen time, sgts would never patrol together. Sgts, when out on patrol, ride with less experienced officers, usually rookies.
