Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

We all grew up listening under our covers, time and time again, to the same bed time stories. Fairy tales about misunderstood monsters, love scorned witches, hungry wolves and all kinds of dark and troubled creatures, and battles between good versus evil in which good always prevailed.

What if not all of those stories were, indeed, stories? What if there was not only a little, but a lot of truth in them? What if those fairy tales were not the end? What if there was a whole world out there that we have just chosen to forget or even not see? That's a very interesting notion, don't you think?

That is exactly what the brand new series "Grimm" is all about. Taking all those twisted villains who haunted our childhood dreams, giving them not only life, but also a hold of our adult nightmares.

Though it is too soon to decide whether I like it or not, I must say that I am intrigued. . .

  1. I too am now intrigued. And rather exhausted, but that obviously doesn't have anything to do with anything.

  3. Hello there. I finished watching American Gothic a few weeks ago and Twin Peaks won't last much longer either... So I set my eyes on this one. Did either of you end up watching it?

    3. "The River" is much better but "American Horror Story" is my favorite by far this season - although I must warn you it's one of those things you either adore or loath. And on a softer and totally different note, I don't know if you are acquainted with "Fringe"?
