This is another fairy tale based drama coming in the Fall.  This one though is by the Executive Producers of Buffy and Angel.  And if you know me you know I love me some Buffy and Angel (Well really, I love Buffy and Spike but we don’t need to split hairs because Buffy and Angel were epic too.)  Anyway, what I’m getting at here is this has the potential to be amazing.  Truly, knock your socks off, amazing.

I will say though.  This looks terrifying.  I’m going to give it a shot but I have the fright level of a scaredy pants 6 year old girl.  That’s not to say I don’t like to be scared but unfortunately for me my level is low and I know there is no way, even if hell froze over, that I am going to get my husband to watch this with me.

As you saw this is kind of like a crime drama with fairy tale bad guys (And I’m sure a few good ones will pop up.  Can I hear a, “love interest” from anyone?)  I don’t like crime dramas because I don’t like fantasizing about real things that can happen to real people.  Though dramatized there always seems to be at least a small element of truth going on.  I don’t like truth when it happens to be scary or disgusting.  So I’m hesitant about this show.  I will definitely give it a look but I may not be staying.  Then again, if it turns out to be a modern Buffy I’ll watch it religiously.

Grimm premieres on NBC on Friday October 21st at 7pm MT.
