Why Not Give Grimm a Chance Before Its Reboot?

Portland, USAFri Jan 10 2025
You might have heard that Peacock is making a movie based on the old NBC show "Grimm". This fantasy crime drama ran for six seasons from 2011 to 2017. The show is like a mix of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and a police procedural. It follows Portland detective Nick Burkhardt, who discovers he's a "Grimm" – a protector fighting to keep balance between humans and hidden mythical creatures called "Wesen". The story is about Nick juggling his job, keeping his loved ones safe, and hiding his new identity. He's not alone; there's his partner Hank, girlfriend Juliette, and other interesting characters. The series has a unique tone, different from current high fantasy shows. It's campy, supernatural fun with a deepening mythology as you watch. Some might think the effects are dated, but the show has its charm. It's addictive, with high stakes and complex drama. Plus, it's well-received, with high scores on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics like The Guardian and Syfy praise it for being underappreciated and fun, especially for "Buffy" fans. So, why not give "Grimm" a try? It's streaming on Peacock, and you might finish it just in time for the reboot.
