Grimm - Season 1
Nick Burkhardt is a Portland, Oregon homicide detective with a strange secret: he';s a descendant of an elite group of hunters who are charged with stopping the proliferation of supernatural creatures in the world. With help from his confidant, Monroe, a reformed Grimm creature himself, Nick must navigate through the forces of a larger-than-life mythology, facing off with Hexenbiests, Blutbads and all manner of ancient evils, including royal lines dating back to the original profilers themselves, The Grimm Brothers.

Grimm has real promise if NBC has real patience.

October 28, 2011
Grimm pays homage to its dark, fairy-tale derived roots without becoming mired in them, or taking them too literally.
