Grimm

Grimm is another new drama series introduced this year. The Grimm series is inspired by the classic Grimm Fairy Tales. You can get information on the series as well as access to full episodes from http://www.nbc.com/grimm/about/ and http://grimm.wikia.com/wiki/Grimm_%28TV_Series%29. 

“Detective Nick Burkhardt discovers he is descended from an elite line of criminal profilers known as "Grimms," charged with keeping balance between humanity and the mythological creatures of the world” (nbc). After this discovery, Nick is continually confronted by creatures both good and evil. The hardest part about his newly found calling is hiding it from his girlfriend and partner, especially when it starts to interfere with his everyday life. 

 Each episode of Grimm is themed around a specific fairy tale and introduces you to new creatures every time. Some of the creatures presented in the series are: (taken from http://grimm.wikia.com/wiki/Grimm_%28TV_Series%29). 

Wieder Blutbad: (pronunciation: VEE-dir BLOOT-baat, Grimm: BLOOT-baad; Germ. wieder "again" + Blutbad) is a reformed Blutbad of a different church. The Wieder Blutbaden stay reformed through a strict regimen of diet, drugs and exercise, whereas normal Blutbaden give in to their animalistic impulses and live on the wild side.

Hexenbiest: (pronunciation: HEK-sin-beest; Germ. Hexe "witch" + Biest "beast") is a witch-like creature that resembles a demon or goblin. They are based on witches, probably from Snow White, as at first they look beautiful and then horrible. They work at the command of royalty and are extremely loyal creatures. Untransformed, they can be identified by a dark birthmark on the underside of their tongues.

Geiers: (singular: Geier; pronunciation: GY-uhr; Germ. "vulture") are vulture-like creatures based on the witch that lived in a gingerbread house and the birds that ate the crumbs of bread, both from Hansel and Gretel. They have an innate ability to move through trees. These vile creatures are harvesters who take pleasure in the pain of others. Geiers gut humans for their organs and blood as homeopathic medicines and aphrodisiacs within the Grimm creature community.

Hässlich (pronunciation: HAYS-likh; Germ. "ugly", "nasty"), also known as the Reapers of the Grimms, are a secret society dedicated to killing all Grimms. They are usually troll-like creatures clothed in a black trench coat and equipped with a hard-sided briefcase, which holds a large scythe.
