The world-building is meticulous, but it is the characters who carry Grimm Season 3 through its more ambitious moments. Under the effects of the Cracher-Mortel toxin, Nick causes the plane carrying him to Europe to crash, killing Baron Samedi. A residual effect of the Cracher-Mortel toxin, however, causes Nick's endurance to be increased along with his strength. Juliette, with her new-found knowledge of the Wesen world, enthusiastically joins Nick, Hank, Monroe, and Rosalee in their adventures. David Giuntoli and Silas Weir Mitchell lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2013. The rules of Grimm Season 3's world are consistent enough that the big swings never feel like cheating. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Grimm Season 3 is satisfying on multiple levels — something to watch and something to think about after. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. David Giuntoli grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Once you are in, you will want to talk about it.
