Throw together some "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," a couple of childhood fairytales and a whole lot of "CSI," and Portland has another claim to fame: NBC's "Grimm."
"Grimm" is about a Portland homicide detective, Nick, who solves crimes committed by mythical creatures. It's exactly the kind of thing you'd expect to happen in Portland, where they like to "keep things weird." But just because the show hits on tales you've heard as a kid, don't be expecting an easy watch: Unless you've been a faithful follower since the beginning, it's not exactly the easiest show to keep up with. After all, when you mix reality and fantasy, you're bound to get a little confused.
But it's this combination of the two that makes "Grimm" so worth tuning into every week. With how many crime-solving shows there are, "Grimm" adds a much-needed new twist to the typical "who dunnit" television series.
The only real problem with the show? Being in Portland, you may start to worry that you'll run into the Big Bad Wolf or a revengeful Ogre, just like Nick does in his crime-solving pursuits.
