Grimm – “Clear and Wesen Danger” Review. Looks Can Be Deceiving.

<i>Grimm</i> – “Clear and Wesen Danger” Review. Looks Can Be Deceiving. 7

This season of Grimm is proving to be quite interesting so far. While some plot points are predictable, particularly in “Clear and Wesen Danger,” the main story line involving the so-called “Wesen uprising” is more cloaked, making it difficult to discern where the writers are taking us. Is it just me or does something feel different about this season? I can’t quite put my finger on it; however, it leans heavily on the ominous side of things. I like it…a lot actually. “Clear and Wesen Danger” feels dark, like something terrible lurks nearby…and it’s not just the “Quijada Vil,” the scary new Wesen we meet.
