The second installment of Delicious Addiction is Grimm, and I sure do thank Grimm it's Friday. It follows Nick(David Giuntoli), his partner Hank(Russel Hornsby), his girlfriend Juliette(Bitsie Tulloch), his Blubot neighbor Monroe(Silas Weir Mitchell), and his boss Captain Renard( Sasha Roiz).

Whew. That was much.

Basically Nick comes from a long line of Grimm's in his family, and they hunt "fairytale" creatures and more. He is the only one that can see what creatures people really are unless the people choose to show their true selves. Most of the creatures are afraid of Grimm's because they have a history of killing them, but Nick is very different including the fact that he is a cop. In the mix with this Captain Renard is also a creature but more importantly part of a Royal Family that wants to bring back "their" world. There are many things to love about the show from the beautiful scenery, to the various creatures, and the quirky characters like Monroe. At first the show was pretty simple with some creature attacking someone and Nick would eventually figure it out. However it's gotten more complex now since Nick knows more and the Royal family becoming adamant about bringing back "their" world with a key that Nick holds.

Verdict: If you want your traditional fairytale creatures with a spin and a bit more check this out. It's really interesting and the way everything is mixed is fantastic. I only give it an 8 out of 10 because sometimes it's a bit slow, but still very good.

*Unfortunately I didn't catch it last night but trust me I will! Next episode you'll soon read something from me.
