I live really close to Portland, Oregon where this series is shot. I watch it almost religiously since it began last year and have to admit that it is growing on me. The new season premiere started (Monday, I think) and will show again on Friday. The premise is interesting, and though some of the special effects are a bit weak at times (overall, they are good, given it is TV and not a large budget movie), I like the variety of creatures they show. I wonder how many of these actually have a basis in folklore and mythology, and how much is just made up for the show.

Anyone else out there watch it? Please offer your opinions, whether you like it or not, and why.

Curious,

I have seen the advertisements, but I think I must have seen them at the movie theater because I can't seem to find the show on tv out here in Iowa. What company shows it (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox)?

NBC. Check it out, and then let me know what you think...

I love GRIMM (even if I think August is too early for the new season to start). It has just the right balance between horror and humour, and I would love to see a campaign based on the game in some system!

I never watched the show, though I have seen the commercials. I want to see it if only once though I rarely watch tv shows nowadays.

Give it a shot or two. I think you may like it...

Reminder: another new episode is on tonight! If you miss it, you'll have to wail 'til Friday.

Mon Aug 20, 2012 7:54 pm

I missed it but might be able to see it on demand. So Friday is a replay day for Mondays episodes?

Tue Aug 21, 2012 8:48 am

As far as I recall, Argon, yes. In fact, I DID miss last night's episode Confused

so I WILL be catching Friday's repeat of it!

Good no spoilers then! Smile

Nope! Not yet! Cool

Did anyone watch this week's episode?

I am waiting to catch it next hour, given that I missed it on Monday.

I did not watch this weeks episode. However, I've watched several episodes from the first season this week.

The chemistry between the Grimm and the werewolf character is good. There are some good chuckles between the two. Though I would understand if thee werewolf character tried to kill Grimm.

After all the Grimm is a pain in the arse, sometimes.

I am interested to see how much longer Nick (the Grimm) is able to cover up his tracks with his secret life...he dodged that bullet (figuratively) this past episode.

I'm intrigued about this secret organization pulling strings in the background, and if the Captain's back story...he's obviously NOT one of those shifter beasts, but he's also obviously not just your ordinary human either...

-Lanthorn

The Captain human,

But he is definitely schooled in the supernatural. Because if he's supernatural Nick should see him for what he is. That society might be human based worshippers or followers of a supernatural cult.

Perhaps the Grimm's were part of this group and that's why the group wants the Grimm's eliminated. Can't have outsiders ruining our plans for the world.

Yeah, Captain Renard is definitely schooled in the arts of the supernatural, and I also suspect that he is/was a member of this secret society (a la Illuminati). However, there's more to it than meets the eye (yes, Transformers quote) with Renard. He hasn't made a single move against Nick, whom he knows is a Grimm. In fact, he seems to covertly support him. Unless it's one of those 'keep your friends close, but enemies closer' situation...

Reminder: new episode tonight...if you can't get to it, wait for the repeat on Friday.

Mon Aug 27, 2012 5:24 pm

I haven't had a chance to see the series, but from your descriptions of Captain Renard, I wonder if he could be a Van Helsing. Confused

Actually he belongs to one of the royal houses. Watching last season. Now I understand why the captain wanted Nick's aunt dead. She was probably breaking away from the Grimm's long standing alliance with the royal houses.

Missed tonight's episode trying to "indoctrinate" character's into the Beholder's fold... Evil Grin

Will catch this episode on Friday!

-Lanthorn, Eye Tyrant

Tue Aug 28, 2012 9:04 pm

Yeah,

It seems my thought's on the captain are true. He needs or believes the Grimm (Nick) is valuable piece to his puzzle. He is at odds with his family over how to go about Royal affairs.

Lanthorn, watch the lastest episode and you should be able to piece things together.

Argon

P.S. Now I know what the aunt meant by be careful who you trust.

Wed Aug 29, 2012 6:30 am

I much look forth to the episode I missed when I watch it this coming Friday...

-Lanthorn

Wed Aug 29, 2012 7:52 pm

On another note. That is the longest first season I have seen for any television series.

Just caught the episode that I missed on Monday. Disturbing rituals for those coyotls... Confused

It seems that Nick's secret is 'out' with his partner. Wonder how this will alter their working relationship.

Cruel twist of Fate with Juliette. Remembers everyone except poor Nick.

-Lanthorn

Sat Sep 01, 2012 11:33 am

The writers decided it would make for an interesting plot twist. Nick went from wanting to tell Juliette about who is really is, and now he will face the dilemma again. Should I risk her life now that she has no memory of our life together. Talk about developing emotional turmoil! Wink

I equate it to the struggles Peter Parker has with his personal life and his alter ego Spiderman. He deals with emotional conflict all the time. This might be why I like the character so much, it just feels like a plausible outcome for a person in the characters position.

Again, a new episode tonight...catch it Friday if you miss out.

I might be running my game tonight, so may have to wait to the end of the week...

-Lanthorn

Mon Sep 10, 2012 9:11 pm

I (erroneously) thought that Grimm was on tonight. But I guess not. Confused

Anyone know offhand when it starts back up???

-Lanthorn

Wed Sep 26, 2012 10:33 pm

Grimm,

Seems to have ended abruptly. I have not seen it on television for some time now.

New episode tonight!

Sat Nov 17, 2012 7:26 am

WOW, poor Nick. He's really been getting screwed over lately. Even though Adalaid (sp?) has 'lost' her hexenbeist powers, she has not lost her malice and cunning! I am enjoying the plot twists and turns, and we are learning more about Renard's background too.

-Lanthorn

Sat Mar 09, 2013 9:54 am

Anyone catch last night's episode? It was the premiere of the new season. Sadly, this old man fell asleep on the couch and missed it... Embarassed

Tue May 21, 2013 6:08 pm

The new time slot has been a real bummer for me. I've not been able to follow many of this season's episodes. I wonder if it's been 'demoted' b/c of failing ratings...???

-Lanthorn

Tue May 21, 2013 7:20 pm

I saw part of the last episode.
Apparently there are these guys that can turn into monster-thingies!
(I hope that wasn't a spoiler!)
