Grimm

Nick Burkhardt has a secret.  A very big secret.  He is a Grimm.

Imagine that the creatures and characters that were presented in the Fairy Tales by the Brothers Grimm actually existed.  That each of those characters, and each of those tales, is real.  There is a hidden world that exists within our own every day world.  Within this world are creatures, humans, who have the ability to transform into other characters. (Think the Big, Bad, Wolf, 3 Little Pigs, etc.) 

Most of these creatures are good, kind people who live and work in the human world without a problem.

Nick is a Grimm.  The Grimms of the world run around, killing these fairy tale creatures.  However, Nick is a different kind of Grimm.  He has a conscience, and he doesn't indiscriminately kill.  He enforces the law, and helps the innocent, regardless of which world they live in.

Nick discovers that he is a Grimm in episode 1.   Unknown to him, his Aunt is a Grimm.  As his Aunt loses her battle with cancer, Nick's Grimm powers begin to show themselves, and he struggles with what he is becoming and how to adapt without telling the other people in his life about what is happening to him.

Throughout the three seasons, the stories and characters wind in and out, and throughout the series, with intriguing stories, and interwoven plot lines that weave back in and out through each show.   

NBC just finished broadcasting season 3.  Smart, funny, intelligently written, this series is an amazing piece of work.  The special effects are fantastic.  I am continually amazed by the level of special effects in a weekly television series.  It is not what I was expecting.

One last word from me:  This series is not for young teenagers (Tweens).  I believe that with the level of violence and graphic special effects, it's probably not best for the young ones, or for anyone who has a vivid imagination and is subject to vivid dreams or nightmares.  Other than that, it's an awesome show!
