Exactly what it says, folks. Grimm is a detective series with significant Fantasy and Horror elements. Nick Burkhardt, a new on the beat homicide police detective with the Portland Police Bureau in Oregon, is about to propose to the woman of his dreams. He comes home to discover his Aunt Marie has turned up unexpectedly. They take a walk and she hits him with the truth she's been keeping secret from him: he is one of the last descendants of the Grimm family — as in The Brothers Grimm — and as such, is gifted with the ability to see monsters, or . At the same time, the show has branched off from focusing on Nick as the central character into more of a ensemble feel by giving other characters more screen time and involvement in various plots. ![]() ![]() After a serial killer imitates the plots of his novels, successful mystery novelist Richard "Rick" Castle receives permission from the Mayor of New York City to tag. Not a surprising development, since the show was co- created by two alumni of influential and famously Myth Arc- and ensemble- heavy Urban Fantasy. Angel. There was a web series to hold fans over during the off season (winter hiatus 2. They deal with the misadventures of Monroe helping Rosalee in the spice shop. Another web series was posted between Season 2 and Season 3 showing Bud the Eisbiber having to deal with a problem of his own. A third web series set around Valentine's Day 2. Juliette and Rosalee dealing with a Ziegevolk. On August 2. 9, 2. NBC announced they were cancellingthe show after its upcoming sixth season, as well as shortening said season. Not to be confused with American Mcgees Grimm.

The actress, who has played Catherine Rollins since Season 1 (she was promoted to a. Training Day: CBS Series to Pay Tribute to Bill Paxton. A Tourist Trap episode whereby the cast packs up and vacations in Hawaii, land of Hula and Luaus.When the treasure is finally recovered in . As it turns out, only 5 of the keys were required (Nick unsealed the box with his blood), so it's possible that the location of the last two keys will never be revealed. And then there are the Coins of Zakynthos. Nick's mother Kelly takes custody of the coins and plans to destroy them at the only place they can be destroyed, the island upon which they were made. After quite some time Kelly e- mails Juliette saying that the coins are hidden for safekeeping. A seaon or so after that Kelly is killed and the coins are presumably forgotten. Black Claw is pushed into the background after Renard ends his association with them.
Hell, the entire organization is Killed Offscreen by Truble The shortened final season probably had something to do with this. Acting Unnatural: After realizing Juliette's friend Alicia, who is staying with them while hiding from her abusive husband, is a fuchsbau, Juliette and Nick both decide to say nothing and . Despite being perfectly capable of feigning normalcy on their own, their idea of acting normal together is to stop what they are doing, plaster on benign smiles, and stare silently at Alicia. ![]() Adaptive Ability: Nick seems to have this to some degree and presumably other Grimms do as well. After being blinded he develops super- hearing and after being zombified he develops a super- efficient metabolism. Nick's increasing strength, speed and resistance over the course of the series probably also derive from this. Adult Fear: La Llorona: a ghost/wesen thing who kidnaps children and then proceeds to drown them every year on Halloween. The first episode has one who kidnaps a little girl wearing red and hides her in his home, planning on fattening her up and later eating her. According to Monroe, this is common. See Rape as Drama The Graussen: Your child becomes afflicted with something that makes them unpredictably violent and seemingly monstrous and there's nothing anybody can do to identify or cure it. The Krampus: An evil Santa that kidnaps naughty children, hangs them in baskets from the highest tree in the area, and then eats them alive. Besides which, you know he really is a literal monster and you can't tell your friends because you don't know that they'd believe you (or that one of them is a Grimm). Some creature comes in the middle of the night, drugs you so you can't stop them, and devours your unborn child. Bonus points in the case in . Violently. Alien Catnip: There's a mold that. In particular, the gods of ancient Egypt were wesen who lived openly among them. Monroe refers to them as . The Grimm version of Austria still has a king and Crown Prince Eric is given a televised state funeral whereas the real- world Austria has been a democratic republic since 1. Charles I & IV of Austria and Hungary voluntarily agreed to remove himself from Austrian government affairs. Always Chaotic Evil: Averted mostly, rarely played straight. Some wesen have more violent instincts than others, but all of them are perfectly capable of living (somewhat) ordinary, moral, law- abiding lives if they try. Even the species with bad reputations often have relatively decent people mixed in. However, some species of wesen have biological needs that makes it impossible to live full life without harming others. The adult female Spinnetod needs to kill and consume 3 male humans/wesens over 3 nights every 5 years. Failure causes rapid aging. We see 2 adult female Spinnetod, one chose to be good and the other chose to get married and have a daughter. Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Monroe's nosy parents, especially his dad, who upon finding out Monroe has a girlfriend thinks nothing of tactlessly interrogating him about how old she is and how much money she makes. They are also quite old- fashioned. It then gets Played for Drama when they turn out to be conservative about different kinds of Wesen mixing. Ambiguously Human: Superhuman abilities not- withstanding, dialogue and some events seem to imply that Grimms are in some way distinct from Kershite (regular humans), despite being outwardly the same, and things that effect Kershite and Wesen one way, may impact Grimms in a completely different way. Amnesiac Lover: Juliette for a large portion of Season 2. Amoral Attorney: The Ziegevolk lawyer in . Wesen believe that the freshly severed left foot of a Willahara (a rabbit- like wesen) placed under the marriage bed will ensure conception. Unfortunately, there's a market for it. Ancient Conspiracy: Marie warns Nick of a secret organization dedicated to defeating the Grimms and their allies (known as the . Season two introduces not just one but several others in a more realistic situation of a number of organizations all with their own particular interests. You have the Grim Reapers, but you also have the Verrat, the Seven Royal Families, the Grimms themselves (loosely organized at best), the Resistance, the Dragon Tongue, and the Wesen Council. And then whatever side Renard's on who, if nothing else, seems to be playing all sides. Androcles' Lion: . But the gladiator shows no compunction about killing Monroe and probably would have done so had it not been for Nick's intervention. Animal Motifs: Every Wesen seen so far has had one except for Hexenbiests (eyeless hag- like creatures), Siegbarstes (ogres), H. Justified though in that three of those four are cops and often deal with violent criminals. While force is not their first option, they will use it to protect others or themselves. Anti- Villain: Marty Burgess, arguably, given that he's a Serial Killer with a very good Freudian Excuse who only kills assholes. Although your mileage may vary on that. The people he killed may have been assholes, but they didn't seem to be in any way evil. And he was terrorizing the girl he loved at the end in a big way. Also he killed people when they saw him as harmless and were about to let him go. Captain Renard, who protects Nick, even though he is putting himself at risk to do so, but is looking to take the key entrusted to Nick by Aunt Marie. Lena, a Spinnetod (spider Wesen) who has to consume the liquefied organs of three men every five years in order to not undergo rapid aging, who is clearly reluctant to do it. And the men she does choose are all jerks. The villain (such as it is) in . She's 9 years old and is experiencing the first aspects of her Wesen side a few years early. Though much of it seems like she can't control it, when she's not consumed by her violent tendencies, she doesn't show much remorse either. Adalind, as weird as it sounds. Since the episode Love Sick, where the quote at the start implies that her evilness towards other people is due to her mother's actions (and, most probably, her whole upbringing), she is revealed as Renard's Love Martyr, and Nick gives her, for the first time, a serious reason to be angry at him. While Krampus was about Disproportionate Retribution, El Cucuy's victims were some pretty horrible scumbags. Juliette goes insane. It's a serious Out Of Character moment for her to turn willingly evil, but she's corrupted over the course of a year until one REALLY horrifying moment makes her snap. Anyone Can Die: By the end of Season Four King Frederick, Prince Kenneth, Kelly Burkhardt, and Juliette are all dead. Wesen have ancient cultures of their own and the more traditional often cling to rituals and conventions that range from charming to archaic to horrifying. Often used as a Take That! The fact that you killed somebody, or the fact that you killed somebody who wasn't Wesen? Artifact of Doom: The stick that was in the chest the keys unlocked. The first clue was the cloth it was wrapped in having several words that mean dangerous or the like written on it. Nick feels compelled to have it on his person at all times. He is able to resist it, for now. It knocked a dozen cops out when they tried to take it from him. It also made Eve scratch markings into a wall and prevent her from leaving until it was done. Art Shift: Perhaps not an art shift per se, but the show definitely takes efforts to use color, lighting, shadow and other subtle visual elements to create a quasi- fairy tale/story book appearance within context of realistic visuals. Asian and Nerdy: Sgt. Wu, who lampshades the trope. Nick: Can you see who he texted? Wu: Of course I can; I'm Asian.
