I will definitely be looking forward to the second season.<\/p>\n<p>This series is about two orphaned sisters named Sabrina Grimm (Ariel Winter), and Daphne Grimm (Leah Newman).\u00a0 After being shipped off to live with their \u201calleged grandmother\u201d 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.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uf1JUbMfB04?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SbkalQyw4K0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>It is unclear whether Puck and Sabrina will be a couple in the future or if it\u2019s just awkward because of the whole bad boy act Puck does,\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q0kul-SB2OQ?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Hats off to Michael Buckley for an incredible book, which this is based on.

It has amazing graphics and a fantastic storyline. I must also comment on the great voice acting, because the voices perfectly match the characters.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Sisters Grimm<\/em> is a six-episode series about two orphaned girls whose parents mysteriously go missing \u2013 Sabrina and Daphne Grimm (Ariel Winter and Leah Newman) are direct descendants of the Brothers Grimm. Sabrina and Daphne are moved to their grandma&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-14369\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The_Sisters_Grimm_Photo_010201.jpg?resize=250%2C141&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The_Sisters_Grimm_Photo_010201.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/The_Sisters_Grimm_Photo_010201.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>The graphics are amazing.

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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14377 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/sistersg.d.jpg?resize=254%2C143&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"254\" height=\"143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/sistersg.d.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/sistersg.d.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/sistersg.d.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/sistersg.d.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 254px) 100vw, 254px\" \/>I love the way Ariel Winters and Billy Harris work together, they show Sabrina and Puck\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>This show\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>I give <em>The Sisters Grimm<\/em> 5 out of 5 stars and I recommend it for ages 5 to 18 plus adults.
