Grimm: Season 3
M**E
A charming story of horror. A truely remarkable achievement.
In season one we learned Nick is a good cop from a somewhat ambiguous background, doing a good job as a homicide detective. One day he has a surprise visit from an eccentric aunt towing an old trailer full of even older books and "tools". He is even more surprised to find he, like his aunt, is a "Grimm", a member of an old family that has the power to see and kill "Wessen", humans who have animal like traits and can assume animal like appearances. Most Wessen hide in plain site, and live normal and law abiding lives. A few do not.Rather than pursue the Grimm legacy of killing all Wessen, Nick instead confines his Grimm activities to pursuing and capturing or killing only those Wessen who are guilty of real crimes, not just the "crime" of being Wessen.By season three, Nick has acquired a group of supporting normal people and Wessen to aid him in the task. His veterinarian girlfriend Julliette, a reformed and now vegetarian "Big Bad Wolf" who fixes clocks and speaks German named Monroe who is a somewhat expert on Wessen culture, an herbalist and expert in Wessen alternative medicines named Rosealee who is a fox Wessen, his human partner Hank (who finds this all a bit bizarre), and others whom he has helped.Nick has also assembled a formidable group of enemies in the form of the Wessen council, and the Wessen Royalty that appear to be from old European families, along with the weekly bad Wessen of the Week that must be found and stopped.The show has a premise that could be very dark, but this cast and the story lines come out as what can only be described as charming. Nick should be the star, and is engaging, dark and brooding. But the very strong ensemble cast of regulars balances that with humor and consistent and engaging character. Monroe the big bad wolf is principled and that quirky nerd that always seems to have a left handed comment that makes you want to laugh. Rosealee is smart, very pretty, very cute, and mischievous. Juliette is the raven haired beauty that really doesn't seem to have a bad thing to say. Hank is the hulking and somewhat intimidating softee who delivers his lines in a deadpan seriousness that has just the right balance to be funny as well.And while Juliette and Nick may have been the intended romance in the first season, by the third it is clearly the budding and somewhat clumsy (on his part) romance between Rosealee and Monroe - who seem to be able to quip us to death laughing.Season three has caused the show to move to a balance of the weekly new Wessen and the increasingly tense battle between Nick and the Wessen council and royal line. In this he has picked up an new and unlikely ally, his boss and police captain - who it turns out is not only one of the few "usually bad" sorts of Wessen (but isn't - or is he?), but is also an illegitimate offspring of Wessen royalty.Costumes, makeup, and special effects are good - but not so busy as to steal the show. There is occasionally a bit more gore than you want the younger kids to see, and enough to make the older kids go "Koool!"So there you have it. A weekly story of horror and terror that will leave you laughing and going "aahhhh". The story lines are of less interest than the characters, but the stories are intriguing and different each week, with the background of the conflict with the council and the royals a continuing thread that the audience can follow as a lead-on for the following week.

Cannot wait till Season 5 and 6 are available for purchase!
Season Three picks up where season two left off: many fingernail slivers on MY chest... and Chetos crumbs!Brilliant writing, throughout EVERY season. Amazing which plot-lines end and begin in just 43-minutes.One of my favorite FIVE programs, still on-the-air.It showcases MANY actors' capabilities. David Giuntoli has become more than a man that, once, just remindedme of [a recent movie] Superman. He's developed into a capable leading man, of mega-movie merit.I could Google it, but he's been in a few other shows as a guest-star. He IS star material! Nick's characterhas as much TEETH as Monroe... BOTH men show their characters' CHARACTER. In fact, there are NO small roles.It is an ensemble cast-of-characters that has charcters you either love or hate. Season two had an unbelebablealliance that actually worked well. Who KNOWS where season five and six will go.Grimm is a giant step FORWARD from the other shows that I like:THE WALKING DEADSUPERNATURALHOMELANDTHE GOOD WITCHAfter you've seen the first episode, season one, you'll be scooped up in the magic, and forget the world's B.S.for 43-minute mini-movies... every single week on the tube, or like I do---here in Germany---BINGE WATCHone of the five discs, a day, Monday through Friday.Help keep the show on the air as long as SOME dumb shows that have been on TV for over twenty years.

One great series.
This is a great series. I watched the entire series on TV. For some reason I only bought the first two DVDS. I recently decided to watch the 1st DVD. By the time I had watched the first few episodes of season 1 I asked myself why did I only buy two seasons. I am going to buy the rest. I am up to the 2nd disk of season 4 and am really looking forward to watch the entire series.
