Grimm is just the series for you if you’re looking for some good Halloween-style binging. Grimm follows the adventures of Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli), a Portland detective who finds he is one of the last Grimms, a lineage of people who can see the monsters living among us, and keep the peace between humans and Wesen.
