I was waiting for this to come out for a few weeks. It definitely has potential to be good. I liked episode 1, but the next couple ones so far I have seen have fallen short in keeping me interested. Which is disappointing, since I want to love it. I haven't seen the whole series yet, and am at the elves and the shoemaker. I am hoping the next ones are better. What I thought they would be were more like the original Grimm fairytales, but they kind of become odd versions of the tales that sometimes don't seem to make much sense. The Hansel and Gretel, for instance just was not what I was expecting and didn't really make me feel it was even close to being that fairytale. Red riding hood was strange trying to be in the future, but again wasn't really what I was expecting the tales would be. The blood and all that doesn't bother me and was nice they included the "horror" aspects which I was expecting from the Gimm stories. I appreciate they were trying to go with something new, but they did a pretty good job in my opinion with Cinderella. Watching that first episode got me excited for the rest. I just feel like that so far the other ones have been very odd, boring or don't make much sense so far. Hopefully tho, it gets better in the other stories. I think the idea is good for the series, but the way the stories are lack for me.
