Grimm: Eve of Destruction (2016)
Great Story but the production values were awful
I have been a fan of Grimm since series 1 and looked forward to series 5 resuming in the UK this month. As soon as it started, it was apparent that something had gone horribly wrong. The sets looked like a school play, bare and unconvincing. The filming was jerky and irritating. the background music was quiet and seemed inappropriate. All in all it seemed like the rehearsal of a cheap daytime soap opera. It was truly difficult to watch.
The script seemed to be of the usual standard but I honestly don't remember it as i was too distracted by the changes to the production. I'm sure that the acting was as good as ever, but the editing and camera work made the whole show seem unconvincing and difficult to engage with.
I'm sure that it was a good experiment, but please revert back to the previous format.
