A teenager taking part in a quiz competition is killed. Nick and Hank go to investigate. Is a wesen behind it? By the way, Captain Renard is in love. And he doesn't like it. All the while, in Europe, Renard's brother meets an old friend of Nick.

"The Other Side" is another satisfying episode for this second season of the "Grimm". We get another mystery, the overall plot is developed too, the characters' arc is taking an interesting turn, and the humor is present too. The case of the week is a little bit weak, though. The characters that are introduced and are involved in the death of the teenager are not especially interesting, and there is little originality put into the investigation. The viewer will probably be able to see every twist coming from far away. However, Nick and Hank make the proceedings entertaining. And the package around the case (Monroe at the shop, Captain Renard in love, Wu's 'sense of humor', give the touch that keeps making "Grimm" one really entertaining show.

Come on ...stereotype situation - the black folks get killed off first.

Come on - could have let that phyne azz Brandon (Titus ) stay on at least 1/2 of the show.

I like Grimm. I like the storylines and the dark twist on childhood fairy tales. I really like the characters, especially Monroe and Wu, both provide much-needed intentional comic relief. As for the unintentional laughs, this episode provided plenty.

  • Hope the detectives weren't hoping to find any fingerprints in the teacher's house after finding his mangled body, as they just stuck their bare hands on every surface they came across.


  • After physically taking down a murderer, turning away from him and leaving him unrestrained on the floor while questioning a victim probably wasn't the smartest thing two supposedly talented policemen would do.


I've had to shake my head at some of the questionable actions of Nick, but always managed to suspend my disbelief for the sake of the story. This episode just stacked them all up though. Other than that, quite entertaining, even if a bit predictable.
