Grimm: Season One

Anton van Beek  |  Jan 30, 2013

Once upon a time there was a fantasy series with very, very, very bad visual effects...

There was clearly something in the water in Hollywood last year, with several of the US TV networks launching new shows based around fairy tales. NBC's Grimm takes the police procedural route with a cop finding out that he comes from a long line of monster killers, but comes a cropper with its appalling CGI and uneven tone. And while this four-disc set's 1080p encodes (a mix of VC-1 and AVC) only serve to highlight the show's abysmal visual effects, they also make the most of the crisp and detailed digital photography. Deleted scenes and an interactive bestiary are among the many extras on offer.
