Grimm: Mommie Dearest

Woman In Black,” Grimm's fantastic Season 1 finale, wove together almost every single thread that’s been left dangling since the start of the show.

A great way to end season 1

9.5

I've been catching up on Grimm episodes off of DVD and watched this one, finishing season 1, last night. This was an excellent episode. I already knew about Juliette's cat fever but now finally know exactly how she got it. And this was a continuous roller coaster ride through the entire episode as well as throwing out many answers as well as new questions. Nick's scenes with Monroe, Hank, the assassin, explaining that he is a Grimm to Juliette, etc. kept things moving rapidly all through the show. Finally, having Nick's mom appear, and she is one nasty Grimm for sure, really sets up things for season 2. I think this has become my favorite show on TV now and hope they get renewed for season 3. I was late to the party but now I'm all caught up.moreless

Too many open questions...ahhhh. Hope the second season comes soon!

About the episode: It was, like I expected it to be. Suspensful and finally Nick confesses to Juliet, [who is now turning into a monster?] and I really liked the scene, in which he visits the trailer with Juliet! Seriously, I couldn't stop laughing. He did look like a lunatic!

Well I thought Hank would learn about his secret too, but ok.. that's up to the second season.

Look grimmingly forward to it :Dmoreless

Ups n Downs

7.0

A weak start as with most shows of this kind generally character intro. That said as it progressed it grew especially with the recurring characters adding the needed light heartedness i.e. the beaver people and such. Unlike many people here I disagree about the finale I personally thought it was painfully predictable and no less than I have come to expect from the TV culture which will cancel shows on a whim.

Hopefully with the second series the effects will be more consistant and this can go on my must watch list sitting closely next to supernatural.moreless

Awesome!

9.0

By LytaAlexander1, May 29, 2012

I agree with most of the previous viewers, the show looked like a decent procedural with a twist at first, but it grew on me episode by episode. The final 6-8 episodes were really good, the writers are doing an exemplary job with character development, slowly building up the tension and the changes in each character, instead of just throwing it in at the convenient time. We can understand and relate with Hank's slow wake-up call to the world of Wesen, with Juliet's disbelief and Nick's gradual change from suspicious cop to butt-kicking Grimm!

What I liked about the finale: Captain Renard's ambiguous part in everything, and the fact that we will see him in Season 2. Rosalie and Monroe working together again. Nick kicking some serious butt with the Japanese guy! And of course, Nick's mom is alive! Can't wait for next season.moreless

great finale

9.5

By DebraKlecan, May 21, 2012

like previous viewers....I hung in there, and the show grew on me. The two cops were originally so wooden, but Nick's wolf buddy was such a great sidekick from day one, that he seemed to help loosen up Nick, who in turn loosened up his partner. I like that each episode can stand alone as a "fairy tale" murder mystery and still have continuity. Some shows like Once upon a time are not easy for the "drop-in" viewer. Looking forward to season 2moreless

- Nick: And they were able to keep him alive?
  Eddie: Uh, yeah. Just long enough to draw and quarter him. Which is actually not as easy as it seems. You need a lot of ropes and chains and, like a minimum of four horses. And all you need is some schlaftrunk.

- Nick: She's witch, okay?
  Juliette: You're going to need to try a little harder, Nick. What? Does she ride a broom? Because I distinctly remember her getting into a BMW.

- Nick: Here goes. I can see things that...
  Juliette: That what?
  Nick: That most people can't.
  Juliette: You mean, like, ghosts?
