I found this series to be very refreshing. Many fairy tale shows and movies today either adhere closely to Disney's versions or the Grimm dark tales, word for word. So, I enjoyed not only the stunning visuals but also the fact that I wasn't watching the same old fairy tale I've seen and heard a million times. Even if the stories are a bit confusing at times, I feel like I understand them by the end, and I gain something from each one. This series also doesn't just rely on horror or being as messed up as possible. It is more mature, for sure, but I know not every ending is going to be super dark. There are happy, sad, and even horrific endings, and each one is written beautifully. So, I don't feel like it needs to be gory to hold my interest. If you want a new, mature, or interesting take on old fairy tales, you should watch this, because I'm sure at least one of these endings will move you and leave you pondering the world each story takes place in, and how the story continues.
