Last night’s episode of Grimm was about a werewolf Rapunzel who kills people with her hair. It was actually one of the better episodes so far- maybe my second favorite after episode five. Grimm has been extraordinarily uneven, ranging from pretty good to embarrassingly bad, but last night’s episode reaffirmed that Portland’s locally-grown fantasy show has potential to be highly non-awful. It still hasn’t totally clicked yet, but this was a step in the right direction.
There were no big Portland landmarks or locations in this episode, but the cameras did spend a whole lot of time drinking in greenery. Pretty much every other shot was filled with tons of dark, dense, trees, and the casual watcher of Grimm who’d never been here before could be forgiven for thinking that Portland is actually a magical forest kingdom, which, I suppose, is sort of the point of the show.
Hit the jump for an awesome tree house and the world’s deadliest dreadlock.
