KIDS FIRST! Film Critic IvyJoy C. comments, “I love The Sisters Grimm, because of the subtle romance and excitement. I will definitely be looking forward to the second season…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.” Ari C. adds, “The graphics are amazing. They perfectly capture the facial expressions of the characters and give insight into their nature. You can see the amount of effort put into creating the backgrounds, because everything looks so real. The storyline is fantastic and I love all the twists and turns. It definitely had me on the edge of my seat and looking forward to seeing a second season. I like how every episode ends on a cliffhanger, making you feel the need to watch more.” See their full reviews below.

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.

I absolutely love The Sisters Grimm. It has amazing graphics and a fantastic storyline. I must also comment on the great voice acting, because the voices perfectly match the characters.
The Sisters Grimm is a six-episode series about two orphaned girls whose parents mysteriously go missing – Sabrina and Daphne Grimm (Ariel Winter and Leah Newman) are direct descendants of the Brothers Grimm. Sabrina and Daphne are moved to their grandma’s house in a mysterious town, filled with fairytale characters, like Prince Charming (Abubakar Salim) and Puck (Billy Harris). As they go around the city, a giant steals their grandparents. The Grimm sisters must save their grandparents and find out what happened to their parents.
The graphics are amazing. They perfectly capture the facial expressions of the characters and give insight into their nature. You can see the amount of effort put into creating the backgrounds, because everything looks so real. The storyline is fantastic and I love all the twists and turns. It definitely had me on the edge of my seat and looking forward to seeing a second season. I like how every episode ends on a cliffhanger, making you feel the need to watch more. In six episodes they have you rooting for the heroes.
The characters have great chemistry between them and feel very real. Ariel Winters and Leah Newman stand out as they perfectly capture the emotions of two little girls who have lost their parents.
I love the way Ariel Winters and Billy Harris work together, they show Sabrina and Puck’s relationship quite well. My favorite part is when Puck comes in with a barrage of fairies and saves the day. I even found myself shocked at some points.
This show’s message is about the importance of family and friendship; it also reminds us not to lose ourselves in greed. Be forewarned that this series does have some mild violence but nothing too harsh.
I give The Sisters Grimm 5 out of 5 stars and I recommend it for ages 5 to 18 plus adults. You can find it on Apple TV+ beginning October 3, 2025.
