Once Upon A Time -vs- Grimm

A bit off the Vampire Topic, but still within the Supernatural Realm.

Both started the week prior to Halloween. Both revolve around Fairy Tales and/or Characters. Both are worth a try!!

Once Upon A Time, is set in the small town of Storybrooke, Maine. A small town where things don't change. That is until Emma Swan shows up.
I really enjoy the flashbacks (yes I am a fan) of each character as they are today and who they were.
The majority of Storybrooke's residents are of another time and have no memory of their prior life because of a curse.
Snow White, Prince Charming, Jiminy Cricket, The Huntsman, Rumplestiltskin, Hansel and Gretel, Mirror Mirror and of course the The Evil Queen....are just a few of Storbrooke's residents.

Grimm, is set in Portland, Oregon. A much darker series which is based around a cop who discovers he comes from a series of "grimms".  Grimms are hunters who keep us safe by protecting us from supernatural creatures we don't even know exist in our world.
The Three Bears (Goldilocks), The Three Little Pigs, Jack and the Beanstalk, the Queen Bee, Rapunzel, of Mice and Man and an Ogre are a few of the "creatures" we have seen at this point.

Have you watched both? Which do you enjoy more? Why?

I Love Once Upon A Time, but what can I say I am a kid at heart and I like the more colorful happier feeling of this series.
It seems like there's a new fairy tale character / resident introduced every week. I watch to see who it will be next.
I also like Ginnifer Goodwin (love Big Love & He's not that into you) and Jennifer Morrison (House & How I met Your Mother).

Grimm is finally starting to grow on me. I really didn't like it at first. It is so much darker then the other, not at all what I expected when I first gave it a try.
It really is dark in many ways. The story lines are about a city cop. The back drops are just dreary.
When Nick (Grimm) comes into contact with a supernatural creature it's face will morph into it's creepy creature form just for a moment.
I guess you just need to be ready for it.

I think everyone (female anyway) teared up when the heart was taken from someone who just wanted it back in Once Upon A Time.
Who can't feel for Nick Burkhardt's girlfriend Juliette who is starting to figure out something is not right with her once normal life. Strange things start to happen and people start lurking around the house.

An interesting Tidbit - I live in Maine....Once Upon A Time is based in a Maine town. I live in the Greater Portland Area...Grimm is based in the other Portland. I had to point that out!

Have a Bite and I'd LOVE your thoughts on these shows
