[Grimm]

[(Anonymous)]

I like Grimm a lot. But better than Angel? I don't think any of the characters have as much depth or have has such good story arcs, and no single episode of Grimm stands out for me the way my favorite episodes of Angel do.

Each to their own I guess.

[dancing_clown]

Where are all the people hating on Grimm? Where are all the people TALKING about Grimm? I find it to be one of the most underrated shows.

But I still don't see all these Angel/Grimm comparison that's been brought up a few times here. They read old books to find out how to fight creatures. And sometimes there are crossbows or other nonmodern weaponry...that's pretty much where the similarities end.

[(Anonymous)]

Grimm has repeatability, which is something I can't say about Angel. There were too many storylines I didn't like.

[(Anonymous)]

I rewatch Angel all the time. Even if there were storylines I didn't like there were still character moments within those storylines I loved.

Angel could also be hilariously funny. Grimm is just kind of middle ground on all levels, both comedy and drama so I never really feel the urge to rewatch.

[kallanda_lee]

Really? Did it get better? Because I watched like two seasons, and thought it was okay, but certainly not in my top ten, despite it being a genre I like. Mostl I just find the character bland. Except the clock-maker, he's cool.

[(Anonymous)]

It did get better.

[kallanda_lee]

Well that's cool, maybe I should start watching again.

[solticisekf]

It changed but did it get better...

[(Anonymous)]

Again, not seeing the comparisons between Grimm and Angel here. However, while I've only seen S1 of Grimm compared to all five of Angel, I kind of prefer the atmosphere on Grimm. I don't know if it keeps it up, though. Angel, I still like S1 and S2, but everything after Pylea went straight down the crapper. And yes, I know that was a theme, growing up and learning about moral compromises, but honestly I just don't want to watch it. The show stops at Pylea for me.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm the same. The show stops at the end of season two for me. There was too much that came after that that I completely despised.

[leisuretime]

Echoing the "Grimm's really different" sentiment. I do like it a lot though. It's the only show I'm current on this season.

I still hate that what happened with Adalind's baby is universally treated like a good thing by everyone who isn't Adalind or the Royals, though. And I guess stolen baby is a similarity. If Diana comes back as a brooding teenager, I'll give this "they're the same!" idea some credence.

[(Anonymous)]

Not familiar with Grimm beyond the first few episodes, but LOL at the implication that it's hard for a show to be better than Angel. Angel is overrated as fuck. Not quite as much as Firefly, but still overrated as fuck.

[(Anonymous)]

Just here to say I really like Grimm. I don't understand the comparison to Angel specifically, but to me Angel was far more cheesy.

[nightscale]

Hmm, hard for me to say. I do enjoy what I've seen of Grimm(I'm behind by at least a season at this point), but I wouldn't say it's in my top ten shows. I just think it's fun to watch.

[(Anonymous)]

I actually like Nick better than Angel, but the series as a whole isn't quite at Angel levels yet. For me anyway. When they aren't focusing on the soapy drama between the main characters and have a great legend/tale to explore they are brilliant and I do love the show. I get not liking it but hatred? What have they ever done to deserve active hatred? Pretty innocuous little show that not that many people watch, all in all.

[brooms]

this secret made me check this show's wiki and all i'm getting from it is that my fave's pregnant again and it seems that in later seasons they try to make the bland leading lady more palatable by mary sue-ing her up.

[(Anonymous)]

They are actually dark-siding her right now. If you care.

[solticisekf]

The bland leading lady certainly appears more.
Nick is kinda Marty Stu so it's only fare that she gets some powers.

[(Anonymous)]

This is the second Angel versus Grimm secret I've seen and I feel like you're trying to make a competition that doesn't really exist outside of these secrets OP. Secret conspiracy to start a Angel vs Grimm war! I want to believe! :p

Grimm is okay, it's average but I kind of lost interest. Angel had a lot of problems but it will always be one of my favs.

[skeletal_history]

All I know about Grimm is that the guy who plays the captain(?) is hot as fuck.

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed!

Text: S!B Publically admitting I think something’s better than Angel? I think not.

I hate how it’s becoming the popular thing to hate on this show - I think it’s one of the best show I’ve seen in years (and yeah, I think it’s better than Angel).

[(Anonymous)]

Well, like one of the commenters above, Angel ended as far as I'm concerned at the end of season two, so Grimm's already doing better as far as that goes. But that doesn't mean I'm all that happy with the show at the moment. I'm finding the Juliette storyline intriguing, but I'm not good with them using it as a way to break Nick and Juliette permanently, so that has me concerned. And I am getting so tired of Adalind, and her being pregnant again may just have been the shark-jumping moment for this show. We'll see. I know Claire Coffee is pregnant, but would anyone really have cared if Adalind left town for awhile to look for her other child?

[(Anonymous)]

I love both shows, and I do see similarities. But I will say Grimm has one thing going for it: it lets the good guys be friends, work as a team, and (so far) hasn't started turning them against each other. Angel really bummed me out when they kept pitting all the characters against each other with no real resolution to it. Conflicts kept piling up until everything was just a painful mess. Then Jasmine happened. So far in Grimmland, everyone's been on an even keel: conflicts happen, but they get resolved in time. I feel like the characters have genuine affection for each other, and it's really nice to see adults cooperating!
