One of the best things about the second season of “Grimm” is how willing they have been to expand the implications of the mythology. Earlier in the season, when Hank was first exposed to the truth about the Wesen, he discovered that a lifelong friend was actually one. It was ( Read more... )

“Grimm” has been on a roll lately, kicking things up a gear for the second season. It seems that every request that fans made during the first season was tacked up on the wall of the writers’ room over the summer, so they could have a punch list to work from in the second ( Read more... )
