Episode Reviewed: Grimm: Woman In Black

At last, Grimm's first season finale has arrived! I just watched it, so it's time for my take.

In A Nutshell: So, Hakiro Kimora, the only surviving member of the four men who killed Nick's parents, is in town, and he wants the 3 coins, which we still don't know what Nick did with. At the same time, Hank is recovering from what he saw, and he may think he's going nuts. Plus, Adalin, the Hexenbiest-witch the Nick drained of her powers, poisons Juliette using... her cat, which ironically is named Majique, which leads to Nick telling Juliette about what he really is (if you think that's a spoiler in any way, they showed Nick doing that in the promos, so most folks already knew that would happen.) To top it all off, the titular, enigmatic woman in black arrives in town and we don't know her motives. This was basically the culmination of most of the slowly built up mythology Grimm has established this season. And naturally, since this is David Greenwalt we're tallking about, there was a cliffhanger ending. Multiple cliffhangers, actually, and twist.

The Good: I'm really glad that the show didn't go for another MOTW and instead built upon it's on mythos, which really worked to it's advantage. This was just a great way to end the season and was immensly entertaining. Plus, there were plenty of great fight scenes, the one at the end being particularly badass. I was already on board for season two, but now I REALLY am after all these fights, cliffhangers, and twists. Let me say this about the cliffhangers: They were excellent. I won't spoil anything for those of you who haven't seen it yet, but your gonna be very pleased.

The Bad: Only two things: the reapers/resistance group/royal families storyline was not revisited, but to be fair, there was only so much they could do in one episode. I was also able to predict the twist at the end, but it could have just been a lucky guess. Maybe not, be but it either way it was a good turn of events.

Final Rating: 94%
