Grimm season 1 Reviews (original) (raw)

It has chills and humor and the ability to take a procedural story and twist it.

Some of the jokes work, and some of the frights are actually scary, and on a repeat viewing the craftsmanship and attention to detail made more of an impression.

I can only say that I loved watching this TV series, along with my family, and it caught our attention. Thanks to the production team, for all the moments of pleasure created, and lovely TV series characters. In short, against critics, I and my family have been excited about this movie!

Excelente serie de TV, fortaleza en argumento, personajes divertidos, diálogos originales e inteligentes, escenografía elegante, sencillamente excepcional. Ampliamente recomendable. Un saludo a todos.

All of which adds up to a nice, moody, entertaining-enough hour and the troublesome question of how interesting this will be by the third episode.

Compared to so many other crime procedurals, Grimm offers a twist on the usual. It remains to be seen whether that twist will be superficial or substantive.

The show offers genuine scares, but lines like "I already cried wolf once--you think they're gonna believe me?" cast a hokey spell. [31 Oct 2011, p.35]

It should be more original, and the characters should be less forgettable.

It isn't invested deeply enough in magic to create an alternative world, and while Giuntoli is perfectly fine as a cop, the police procedural part feels routine.

Grimm is by far, one of the best tv shows out there and is my favorite tv show. I have watched the show since the beginning and fell in love with it during episode one. I can't express how amazing this show is despite the dropping views and the unfortunate fact that Grimm is ending with its sixth season. The show's concept of the Grimm, starring police detective Nick Burkhardt, as well as the idea of recreating the beloved and even wicked, Grimm's fairy tales into a modern tv show is brilliant. It is definitely a show worth watching and I'm truly disappointed that that it's ending. There is so much about this show that should be said but there honestly isn't enough words to express Grimm, or how impressed that I am about the show and it's final season. Grimm constantly keeps me coming back for more. With its new spin on the Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales, along with its memorable characters who I have grown to love, as well as the incredible episodes that I admit, watch over and over again, Grimm is my favorite show on the planet! I love the show and will continue to watch and support it indefinitely even after it ends, I will definitely miss watching Grimm.

Being part German myself, the use of the German language in the show is hillarious. Americans trying to speak German is just so cringe worthy. Kind of like a poorly dubbed Anime. The effects in this show are just laughable, and generally look terrible. Even with a low budget, a small team of 1st year animation students could have done better. This standard of FX would have been acceptable in the mid 90s, but not today. But aside from those negative points, I really like the idea behind it. The cast do an OK job and are likable, the episodes are entertaining and the lore is interesting (even though it is VERY loosely based on the actual Grimm tales.) Overall: An OK show that seriously needs to find a better FX crew and turn down the use of German (or learn to use it properly.) eg imagine **** speaker tried speaking English and started calling Vampires "Long-Tooths." Seriously the creature names are REALLY, REALLY bad.

Some episodes are pretty good and they are the ones that are actually different. The rest of them stick to a formula, with Nick only being able to see creatures real faces and vice versa whenever it is convenient for the writers. The plot of the entire show would be impossible if the werewolf didn't just happen to decide to be good. Grimms have no powers and there is no supernatural lore about silver bullets or anything so they are just ordinary boring guys shooting the creatures. Overall this show is way too much like an ordinary procedural and they really need to give the story arc a much bigger role. People say this does happen at the end of the season but we shouldn't have to watch an entire season of mediocre episodes first.

To start off, I love a good retelling of older stories or themes. I tried to like this show, hoped to like it, wanted to like it. After 4 episodes, did not like this show.

The main character may as well be any whatever empathic from any other piece of fiction ever. He's written like that I guess, but the actor doesn't do anything with it either. There are some interesting ideas in this series writing, but everything else is below average. My biggest problem with it is that it is way too slow. Written for a 30 minute time slot and I would give it another try.
