NBC's Grimm - Pilot episode

Whoever schedules shows on NBC needs to take a look at Friday nights. The 9 o'clock slot already has Supernatural and Fringe. Most of Grimm's potential audience will be tuned to FOX or the CW, but that's okay. That's why we have Hulu.

I don't want to spoil the pilot episode, so I'll say it is a re-imagining of Little Red Robin Hood. The main character, Nick, is a policeman and he inherits the family gift/curse: he sees monsters who are blending in as humans. Everything has a Buffy feel (but the dialogue isn't as good) and the original Grimm fairy tales will offer great episodic material.

Grimm has the potential to be a great series, a mini scary movie each week, much like how Supernatural started out. But Fridays nights are Fringe nights for me, so I'll be watching on Hulu.

Did you watch the Grimm pilot? What did you think of it?
