TV: Grimm & Once Upon a Time

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Grimm will return for a shortened final sixth season this January.

"GRIMM”: The final season begins Friday, Jan. 6, 8-9 p.m.

Closing out an incredibly successful series run and giving viewers a chance to say goodbye over the last 13 episodes, the sixth and final season of NBC’s drama “Grimm” will begin its last chapter with the battle fans have long been waiting for — Nick versus Capt. Renard.

The series, which reached the 100-episode milestone last season, has long been a fan and critical favorite, with the Los Angeles Times calling it “terrific and trendsetting… ‘Grimm’ has become a beacon of solid narrative and a weekly reminder of why monsters matter.” The New York Times said “Grimm” is “engaging, clever, tense, funny and well-paced, featuring a remarkably appealing cast.”

As for events leading into the final season, (view spoiler)[the nefarious forces of Black Claw have been silenced and Nick (David Giuntoli) faces an all too familiar foe in Capt. Sean Renard (Sasha Roiz). Now in the seat of power as the mayor elect of Portland, Renard is poised to bring rise to his own brand of law and order. Nick must take a stand to protect his city and those closest to him, especially his child with Adalind (Claire Coffee). It will take the full force of Nick and his allies to find a way to bring the peace.

Meanwhile, Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) grapple with bringing a child into a new and tumultuous world, and Eve (Bitsie Tulloch) faces unsettling identity issues as her former self lurks below the surface. (hide spoiler)]

“Grimm” also stars Russell Hornsby and Reggie Lee.

The series was created by David Greenwalt & Jim Kouf and Stephen Carpenter. Sean Hayes and Todd Milliner (“Hollywood Game Night,” ”Hot in Cleveland”) serve as executive producers along with Greenwalt and Kouf. “Grimm” is a Universal Television and Hazy Mills production."

Did we even talk about this past season? I don't know if I even watched the whole season, because I watch with my daughter who is away at college and she gets annoyed if I watch without her.

I didn't like Nick (view spoiler)[ with Adalind. But the 2 babies are sibs! (hide spoiler)]

Okay, everyone called it, but I was hoping it wasn't true, (view spoiler)[ Juliette is baaack. And big surprise, she's evil. I like Truble, but I like the underground better than the secret govt group. Did Nick get his Grimm powers back? (hide spoiler)]

I am still in shock about Grimm being cancelled. I had just started watching it again and now it will end.

[Marla]

I am sad too, but I thought it was winding down. They seemed to be concentrating so much on the complicated storylines rather than the Grimm solving vessen crimes.

I think I'm all caught up but I'm sad that it's not going to be on anymore. I still watch the reruns on other stations but it isn't the same as watch all new episodes. :(

Yeah, I'm kinda bummed too. But, I'm irritated by the whole (view spoiler)[ Black Claw / Renard storyline. Renard and Nick were working together to defeat them, then all of a sudden Renard wants to run for mayor and he's fine working with Black Claw? WTH!? (hide spoiler)]

I'm sad it will end because it was unique. I can't think of another show like it. Sometimes it was dragging on though and I was never crazy about some of the female characters. The ratings can't have been that great if the season is delayed, shortened and cancelled though.
