Grimm is a fantasy procedural NBC series that ran for six brilliant seasons blending multiple genres in an immersive story. The series follows Detective Nick Burkhardt (David Guintoli), a Portland cop who finds out that he is an important member of a long line of magical enforcers named Grimm, who keep the secret world of supernatural creatures separate from the world of normal humans. When Nick finds out that he is a Grimm he is barely able to handle anything because until recently he was one of those normal humans, whom he is now trying to protect from the various supernatural creatures. Nick isn’t alone in this fight though because he has the support of a wonderful friend and partner Hank (Russell Hornsby), his girlfriend Juliette (Elizabeth Tulloch), and a new supernatural friend Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell). While Grimm is a pretty unique series, that doesn’t mean there are no similar shows that have a few elements similar to the NBC series.
