Grimm

In the NBC drama Grimm, fairy tales are real and the descendants of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm are tasked with finding and slaying the evil entities contained within the stories. The series thus has a supernatural element, with Big Bad Wolves murdering the modern day equivalents of Little Red Riding Hood, Bears kidnapping contemporary Goldilocks and the centuries-long feud between Pig and Wolf still raging on. Grimm is also a procedural drama, however, with the Portland police department unknowingly investigating the various crimes committed by these mythological creatures on a weekly basis. At the heart of the series is Nick Burkhardt, a newly baptized Grimm who has the ability to “see” the monsters underneath their human exteriors. Add a conspiracy subplot involving Burkhardt’s direct Portland PD supervisor and a “reformed” Big Bad Wolf who assists in the investigations, and Grimm has all the ingredients of an Old World fairy tale and Twenty First Century crime drama rolled into one.
