In short, Grimm takes a different angle on the severity and enjoyable presentation of a supernatural procedural (think Supernatural in its existence). Instead of a pair of monster hunters with a magic gun that are brothers, you have a man who is more or less a descendant of the legendary Brothers Grimm, armed with an extensive tome/book of listed monsters (known as Wesen or Wiesen, depending on its spelling in some languages) that works to police his home against the strangest creatures. It's very case-of-the-week in its presentation as always, with the occasional multi-episode arc. Overall, the show is rooted in using a lot of unknown actors that thrive well in their roles, so you never truly know who or what you're going to get (and that is a BIG sell in this show: the unexpected and the mystery). And after four seasons, it's still going pretty strong. We're already at five seasons in broadcast now, and with the show having eked out full season orders every time, this show is so close to syndication on other channels. If it does that, there's a very good chance it'll find more fans on other channels at whatever times deemed fit to air. Overall, this show is for fans of modern supernatural or fantasy with a bit of police investigation/procedural...especially Supernatural fans.

I highly recommend this show if you like police procedure and abnormal shows!

Really loved this series. Great cast of characters.

This show just gets better with each season. Great writing with season long story arch that keep you coming back. Characters you love & get attached to played by great actors. David Giuntoli is perfectly cast as main character Nick, Silas Weir Mitchell is great as his friend Monroe, Bree Turner is pure magic as his wife Rosalee, and Jacqueline Toboni is fantastic as the recently added Trubel. The police action mixed with the sometimes gothic & assorted monsters & killers make this a different kind of cop show worth watching. On-location filming in Portland, Oregan adds authenticity to the show.

I started watching Grimm on a friend's recommendation and have been hooked. It plays and feels alot like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Yet it has its own groove and in some ways excels above its competitors such as Supernatural. Some of the creature effects could be better as the series relies on alot of cgi effects as I'm sure that's far cheaper than make up and prosthetics work. However, the series stories and direction make up for the short comings in effects work.
