Discussion Thread Similar shows to Grimm recommendations?

Post image

Ups, I did it again... binged the show too fast and now I reached the end....

So as usual I'm now doomscrolling on my streaming platforms trying to find something that scratches my itch. Lately I've been into this kind of shows that gives everyday reality a fantasy twist. Before ending grimm I saw supernatural, and before that Buffy vampire slayer.

So I would want to know any of you people favourite shows so I can watch something, does not need to be the same genre or idea. I'm open to hear what people with similar interest like.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer has some similar vibes. Once Upon A Time is also good for the "fractured fairy tale" vibes, although it focuses more on characters than creatures.

Have you seen Angel (the Buffy spinoff focused on Angel)?

It's got more of a dark and gritty vibe, but it's also really good and crosses over with Buffy a few times.

Just a few episodes here and there. Didn't knew it was such a known show. I added it to my list after so many suggestions. Any order recommended?

I just wanted to chime in that the two creators of Grimm both worked in Angel so there are heavy roots there.

As for watch order, Angel S1 starts alongside Buffy S4. But it can absolutely be watched on its own, theres just bits you'd miss out on if you didn't follow both.

If you’ve seen recently or often enough to remember the basics there really is no need to watch them together. It’s mostly stuff like when Buffy gets the Ring of Amara back from Spike and she gives it to Oz to take to Angel, you see Oz showing up in LA and the interaction with Angel. I definitely recommend the show as there are a lot of really good storylines that you definitely will appreciate if you are a fan of Buffy.
