Pilot show was on two nites in a row. Caught it the other night and I liked it. Modern take on Grimm Bros fairy tales with a Cop finding out he is one of the last in a long line of Grimm's, which are special folks who have a knack to seek, find and kill the "monsters". I really liked the location shots, atmospheric music and camera angles. For me, it is (so far) much better than Once Upon a Time and American Gothic season openers. The story is more basic and probably old school compared to the other two shows, but still liked what I saw.

I agree it's better than Once Upon a Time.
Could be an interesting show, but how come every creature he sees snarls at him? Can he only see them when they are snarling?
And how did he get his power if his mother is still alive?

He only sees their true face when they lose control. In that event, a snarl (anger) would seem to be appropriate.
Well, his mother and father are dead. His aunt was dying of cancer, so the power was transfering to him.
So far, my favorite character is the Blutbad "sidekick".

I don't know about this one. The writing is pretty damn weak, especially the dialogue. With the exception of the Blutbad (and that just sounds silly), they're all two-dimensional stock characters.
And the special effects are just weak. Sanctuary does a better job, and most of that show is filmed in front of a green screen.
