I just started watching Grimm, and so far I’ve found it to be a “meh” show that’s good to have in the background while working.
I hope not to offend any hardcore Grimm fans, and let me know if the show gets better.
However, I’m about halfway through the first season, and I can’t help but feel that the supernatural stuff is there for more gimmicky purposes than a functional part of the storytelling. Feels like a procedural with a couple of monsters who are committing humany crimes that a good cop could figure out with detective work. I also don’t understand what makes the Grimm special. Other than the fact that he can see the creatures, he doesn’t seem to have any other supernatural ability to help guide him. I’m not even sure why there are creatures that fear him the moment they realize he’s the Grimm. If he didn’t happen to be a cop, he’d just be a man who could see stuff… and then what?
Please tell me if I’m missing something.
