Grimm

[IdolEyes787]

Considering the shows creators and the press releases I had highish hopes for show to be a decent combination of thrills and comedy but so far it seems a little too familiar and too earnest for my liking.

I did think that the art direction was among the best I've ever seen on TV and the Portland location really worked effectively to enhance the "storybook" feel.So I guess whether Grimm is merely fixer-upper with a fresh coat of paint or something really worth investing in is yet to be determined.

Peaked my interest enough to wait and watch the second episode...will decide to continue to watch it if it is good, but I think it won't be hehe

I agree.I'm not a fan of shows that exist merely to pad out some lame mythology that I wasn't too enamoured about to begin with.
Also none of the actors really scream "star" to me. The lead David Giuntoli reminds me of Brandon Routh which isn't exactly a compliment.

For future reference, it's "piqued". Not trying to be a dick, unless you did it intentionally. Take it as an act of good will.

When I heard the radio advert for this, my thought was, "find a different fucking mythos!". We've already explored these too many times, constantly trying to reinvent the image of these fairy tale characters to the point that who gives a fuck they were ever created. How about something a little less explored.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode even though I was a bit dubious about what to expect. The old 'mythology' and fairytale side of things left me wondering if it was gonna end up being Buffy-esque (and I couldn't stand Buffy) but I was pleasantly surprised. The first episode has certainly done enough to show that the characters can develop further, not least with Nick discovering what the whole Grimm business is all about.

I think the fact none of the actors screamed "star" was a good thing in so far as I wasn't left with any preconceived ideas about previous roles they played and then comparing them to their current roles... I'm looking forward to episode 2 already, and hope it builds successfully on what was a very decent premier

Buffy was the best show ever.
In the annals of TV history the list goes something like 1.Buffy 2.The Sopranos 3. Seinfeld 4.Buffy reruns 5. Arrested Development 6.All in the Family 7. E.R. 8. SNL for the year or so it was funny 8.The Twilight Zone 9.M*A*S*H*10. Louie

I would have expected 10. Grimm (ep 1) 11. Louie
a missed opportunity there.

Also, ugh on the Sopranos. I've never been a big opera fan anyway.

Edit: I feel Arrested Development is too far down on your list

If it's of any comfort, it was random.

Also the opportunity wasn't missed as the game's still afoot.

Btw that make any sense to you as I personally can't see how a game could be a foot?
