Grimms are a group of hunters who fight supernatural forces. They are charged with keeping the balance between humanity and the creatures of myth.
A reformed "Big Bad Wolf", now a reformed vegetarian, becomes his greatest helper and confidant.
Is Grimm good?
The creators have earlier made shows like Buffy and Angle. Grimm has some high standards to live up to, and it does so remarkably well.
This Show is a kind of modern take on the Grimm`s fairytales. Grimm is especially worth watching if you like modern fantasy and police shows.
Lucifer

Lucifer owns one of the cities most prestigious nightclubs. There he lives a life full of delicious sin and fun while trading favors with clients.
But when one of his clients is gunned down he teams up with an LAPD detective to solve the case.
Lucifer is so smitten with this detective that he decides to join the LAPD as a consultant. He uses his power to draw out people's deepest desires and wishes to solve crimes.
Is Lucifer good?
I love this show.
I know it`s jet another crime show with a specially gifted but flawed main person, but I still love it.
Some people get in a fizzy fit because the TV show goes too far away from the comic. I have never read the comic books so I don really care about that.
Warehouse 13
Agent Pete Lattimer and Agent Myka Bering find themselves transferred to Warehouse 13. It's a massive top-secret storage facility in South Dakota.
This mysterious warehouse contains every supernatural artifact ever collected by the government.
Their new job has them chasing down reports of supernatural activity in search of new artifacts to be safeguarded in the Warehouse.
Is Warehouse 13 good?
Warehouse 13 is an entertaining adventure full of fictional and historical objects and gadgets with and without (mostly with) supernatural powers.
I really like this TV show.
Haven
FBI agent Audrey Parker is sent to Haven to help the local police to track down a fugitive. She gets help from Nathan Wuornos, a local cop, and Duke Crocker, a small-time smuggler.
Audrey soon discovers that many people in the Haven have supernatural abilities or "troubles" as they call it.
It does not take loon before Audrey discovers that her past is connected to these "troubles" in Haven.
Is Haven good?
Haven follows the trouble of the week formula.
If you like mystery and don't mind episodic stories then Haven is worth checking out. But it is not anything exceptional.

The Old Kingdom has a more medieval technological level, but they do have both Free Magic and Charter Magic. This last tidbit is officially denied by the government of Ancelstierre and disbelieved by most of its inhabitants.
Sabriel is in her last year at Wyverley College, a private school in Ancelstierre that lies close to the wall to The Old Kingdom.
When an undead creature enters their dormitory Sabriel notices it is attempting to communicate. It is a messenger from her father, the Abhorsen, who is now past the Seventh Gate of Death.
The message tells Sabriel that she is to take on the role of Abhorsen and defeat Kerrigor, a powerful necromancer who is attempting to make his way back into Life.
The undead messenger gives Sabriel the Abhorsen's bandolier of bells, the Abhorsen's sword, and a map of The Old Kingdom.
Sabriel leaves Wyverley College and travels into the mystical land of the Old Kingdom.

Sabriel is a really great book and the rest of the Abhorsen books are just as good. They are YA books, but they are still worth reading for adults.
