The circus comes to Grimm in this episode – Carnival Metamorphosia to be exact, which is a thinly veiled excuse to have Wesen woge and entertain humans. Sam Witwer (Being Human) plays Max, a blutbad in the circus, who when the episode opens seems to be cheating on his girlfriend with two human girls. They’re intent on figuring out how he changed into the Wolfman they just saw during the show. Max woges and the next thing we know, Hank and Nick are being called in to investigate the girls’ murders.

Almost Human "Straw Man" (Spoilers!)

The last episode of this season is another example of the show’s writing getting stronger… almost.

This week, Kennex and Dorian are called in to investigate the murder of a 16-year-old runaway. The catch? Her body is filled with straw. It’s a creepy, made even more disturbing of the glance we’re given of straw inside said dead body. Oh, I know it’s a show, but this is the first time in a long time that the show has had a GOOD case.

Almost Human "Beholder" (Spoilers!)

Beauty is pain, murderously so in episode 12 of this show.

It begins with a Chrome’s murder, and as established in earlier episodes, a Chrome is genetically altered to be perfect, so a Chrome cannot die from a heart attack. Or so Valerie Stahl insists when she asks Kennex and Dorian for their help to investigate this murder. They find evidence the victim was injected with something to make his heart stop, and what looked like a single murder case, quickly becomes a serial case as more and more victims are found, but not all are Chrome.

Gotham is in full flight with the new, clean-shaven Jim Gordon showing off his chase skills. Ben McKenzie, post-Southland, seems to have fit right into his new rookie detective role.

Gotham is the tale of Gordon’s rise to the Police Commissioner we all know and love, and possibly his investigation of the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne.

Grimm "Once We Were Gods" (Spoilers!)

This episode proves to be one of Grimm’s most well rounded episodes, making use of their huge cast of characters and moving each along enough that there’s actually some forward motion in their storylines.

Almost Human "Disrupt" (Spoilers!)

In this episode, someone is wreaking vengeance for the death of a Aaron, a boy who was shot and killed in the grounds of a house – a security house of the future. Run on an absolutely lethal system, the house essentially protects itself, with laser-guided guns, no less. So the tragedy of the death of a boy is causing … quite the disruption (forgive me, I couldn’t resist) for the company, even one year later.

Grimm "Mommy Dearest" (Spoilers!)

In this week’s episode, Grimm shows some wonderful diversity in using a legend from the Philippines – the Aswang. This is a ghoul-like creature that is arguably one of the creepiest things the show has done. It looks terrifying, but more than that, it has the nasty habit of feeding on the life forces of children still in their mothers’ womb.

Grimm "Revelation" (Spoilers!)

Grimm has gone from strength to strength since season one: what began as a show revolving around Nick finding his way in the Grimm world with his trusty sidekick Monroe, expanded steadily in season two. Juliet found out about his Grimm heritage, Renard was developed, as did Hank’s role in the show. Nick was no longer using the flimsiest of excuses for his work as a Grimm. Best of all, Rosalee was added to the cast, and moved up to a regular for season three. By the end of season two, Nick had support around him, and the show was more cohesive, losing some awful tropes along the way when the main character tries to keep his identity a secret. It was a relief.

And all was well with the world of Grimm. Until season three started and a stall of sorts happened.

Almost Human "Perception" (Spoilers!)

This was the fourth episode filmed, and it shows. It does, however, provide an interesting, if tragic case for our intrepid duo to solve. Added bonus? Some insight into Valerie Stahl.

Almost Human "Unbound" (Spoilers!)

These are the episodes that make me pause and wonder what on earth went on behind the scenes to throw the episode order out of whack so very badly. Such is the pain of a fan.

This week’s episode, features Gina Carano, as a killer robot Danica and John Larroquette as the creator of the DRN series, Dr Nigel Vaughn.
