In its second season, this series inspired by Grimm's Fairy Tales, has Portland homicide Detective Nick Burkhardt keeping balance between humanity and the mythological creatures of the world as a criminal profiler known as "Grimm." Nick is reunited with his mother who was thought to have died in a car accident when he was a boy. Nick concealed his Grimm identity from his fiancée, Juliette, who fell into a coma. Though now awakened, she has no memory of Nick. Nick reveals his Grimm identity to his police partner, Hank. Nick continues to turn to reformed werewolf Monroe and new confidante, Rosalee, for help in his mission a hunter of mythological monsters.
Violence on Grimm is often intense, with battles using swords and other ancient weapons, as well as guns and some frightening-looking monsters. The second season has increased its focus on bloody and grisly scenes. The season premiere featured a monster who ferociously massacred humans in a shipping container. Bloody body parts and limbs were shown, including the severed arms of an FBI agent. Language used includes “hell,” “damn,” and “bitch.” Sex can also be a problem on the show; one episode had a disturbing storyline about a 17-year-old girl being kidnapped by her uncle and cousins in order to fulfill the hereditary breeding rituals of her monstrous ancestors.
Grimm is not recommended for viewers under age 18.
