Finishing a series like Grimm feels like closing a massive book of fairy tales that you have grown deeply attached to. Looking back, this show stands out as a must-watch staple of urban fantasy, successfully achieving the rare feat of blending a classic police procedural format with an incredibly rich mythology.
The show's first major strength lies in its narrative architecture. Grimm brilliantly adopts a dual-paced rhythm: every episode features its own police investigation, introducing a new Wesen, while masterfully weaving a overarching storyline in the background. From the mysterious keys to the most ancient artifacts, the series builds a lore with rare coherence. It is incredibly exciting to follow the ancient books, the potion, and the feeling that every single detail matters, leading toward an epic resolution that felt planned from the very beginning.
Yet, Grimm’s greatest achievement is its human element. The character development over the six seasons is nothing short of incredible. We start with a classic policeman and end up with a group dynamic of rare depth. The protagonist, Nick, completely redefines what it means to be a 'Grimm'. Through various trials and countless plot twists, he doesn't just follow a preordained destiny: he chooses his own alliances, breaks age-old prejudices, and builds his own definition of family. The supporting characters receive the exact same care, growing, sometimes shifting allegiances, and becoming vital to our attachment to the story (my favorite is Monroe).
My only real regret lies in the final stretch. The conclusion, while thematically logical and very satisfying in its philosophy, suffers from a major acceleration. You can feel the lack of a few extra episodes to let the richness of the final revelations breathe, and to offer this universe the grand, sweeping finale it 100% deserved. You leave the series with a slight sense of 'too fast,' wishing you could have spent just a few more hours with them.
Even so, the journey is more than worth it. Grimm is a generous, intelligent show that knows how to reinvent itself without ever betraying its own mythology. If you love dark investigations, historical secrets revisited, and strong character dynamics, dive into the Grimm serie: you won't regret it!!
