The series strayed away from classic fairy tales and began to put its spin on lesser-known stories such as La Llorona, Krampus, and the El Cucuy. An El Cucuy is a monster that originates from an ancient Spanish legend. The bears many similarities to that of the bogeyman, and Grimm 's take on it was equal parts eerie and thrilling. The series premiere of Grimm didn't directly follow the age-old tale of Little Red Riding Hood , but the episode became infamous for shedding gruesome light on the story.
Grimm 's pilot presents multiple homicide victims who all happen to be women who were wearing a red item of clothing. Ultimately, it's revealed that a Wesen is murdering these women, and while this episode suffers from the same problems that most early-season episodes of Grimm did, the pilot does serve to introduce some of the most prominent relationships on the show.
Nick and Juliette served as Grimm' s main romantic relationship for the better part of the series.

This is where the quote comes in, though the version of the story I found phrased it a little differently:. In her shock and fear, she drops the key; picking it up, she flees the room, locking it behind her.
Determining she must never let her husband realize what she has done, she tries to clean the bloodstains from the key, only to find that she cannot: the key is magical. When Blue Beard returns home from his journey, he realizes what his wife has done and sentences her to death for her disobedience.
Fortunately for the wife, her brothers arrive at the manor house in time to stop Blue Beard from adding her to the downstairs room, and is himself killed in stead. The Wesen that is the subject of the tale, Ziegevolk, are referred to once or twice in the show as Blue Beards. This is a supernatural detective show, so there must be a crime to solve, of course.
This specific show starts with the murder of a woman, by a shadowy figure. The episode actually evolves into a whole new series of crimes, centered around the Ziegevolk and his actions against….
