SISTERS GRIMM, THE

I love The Sisters Grimm, because of the subtle romance and excitement. I will definitely be looking forward to the second season.

This series is about two orphaned sisters named Sabrina Grimm (Ariel Winter), and Daphne Grimm (Leah Newman). After being shipped off to live with their "alleged grandmother" as Sabrina puts it, they discover that all of our favorite fairy tales are real. At first Sabrina does not believe her grandma when she tells her that fairy tales are real, but when she and her sister witness their granny get taken by a giant she finally believes. With the help of the fairy prince, Puck (Billy Harris), the man in the mirror (Harry Trevaldwyn), and Mayor Charming (Aboubakar Salim), they get her back, but there are still mysteries to be unlocked.

It is unclear whether Puck and Sabrina will be a couple in the future or if it's just awkward because of the whole bad boy act Puck does, but I would guess that we eventually see them as a couple. The action scenes definitely kept me on my toes. When the series ended I found myself anxious to see more. It has everything I love in a TV series with just the right amount of awkward, subtle romantic hints, fighting scenes and tragic moments. Kudos to Ariel Winter for really capturing the classic stubborn orphan kid who needs to take care of both herself and her younger sister. Plus, even though he refuses to believe it, Puck does remind me of Peter Pan. Hats off to Michael Buckley for an incredible book, which this is based on. The plot is complex and compelling enough to hold the interest of older kids, yet simple and fun enough to capture and hold the interest of younger kids as well. My favorite part is when Mayor Charming is dazed and he asks Snow White to kiss him. Honestly, it is really funny.

The show's message is to not always see the worst in people, but don't put all your trust in them either. Take note that there is violence shown, but nothing too extreme.

I give The Sisters Grimm 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 18, plus adults. It is available on Apple TV+ on October 3, 2025.
