I have finally started to watch 'Grimm' (mostly because I will go to a convention in autumn, and there are already four guest stars from this series). Still in the first season, and I admit, I am not sure what to think about it. The plot reminds me a bit of Supernatural, with some fairy tale touch; it's okay, but not good enough to fill me with great enthusiasm. Maybe I will watch some more episodes next week and see where it will go to.
Over the weekend, I will continue watching 'Cassandra', a new Netflix mini-series about an old smart house. It was abandoned for some time, and when a new family finally moves in there after a hard blow of fate, the KI decides to make them 'their' family, and never to let them go again. Maybe this plot is not the most original one, because there are already other movies / TV shows like this, but I enjoy the mixture of drama/mystery/light horror.
What am I excited about? The last episodes of Cobra Kai, which will start in Germany next week. I have waited for so long already because of this new, annoying praxis of the streaming platforms to split a season into two or even three parts. Even though it is hard sometimes, I can wait until the last part of it is finally online.
I totally understand that about Grimm. I watched all seasons when they aired, but so many times I nearly gave up. The show was good at sucking me back in with its finale cliffhangers...
There was a reboot (revival?) announced recently and my first thought was "Why Grimm?"
I tried to keep up with Grimm because it filmed here. I actually took pictures of an outdoor shoot because an SPN actor was on it, and the crew were amazing.
Oh, I looove Grimm. I was very obsessed with it for a little while. It's not for everybody so if you don't like it, you don't like it! No shame. To me I always kind of viewed it as more of a grown-up type of Buffy in a way, at least in terms of themes. An (adult) chosen one suddenly thrust into this crazy world, trying to keep two separate lives going, and a found family of misfits. I do think it starts to get really good later, I had lukewarm feelings during season 1 but I felt rewarded for pushing through.
I did end up liking Grimm a lot, especially the second season. But the Wesen were getting kind of random sometimes, and logic and character consistency weren't the show's strong points.

I wrote up a rec post mostly focused on the first season, and ... basically I told people to skip the first half. :D
