I am still watching “Grimm” and enjoying the show. They are finally back into more of the storyline with the detective and the blond woman/Hexenbeast from the first episode. She’s now going after Nick’s partner Hank! Juliette is getting a lot more airtime as well, realizing Nick is keeping something important from her. She told him in the last episode that she couldn’t marry him right now because he’s pulling away from her.

“Smash” I’m also still enjoying. The last episode with Julia’s marriage falling to pieces was amazing, and heartbreaking. She had it coming though! I hate that Michael Swift seems to have come out unscathed, his marriage still in tact. I also loved that Ivy and Karen started to get along in this episode. The next few episodes have Uma Therman guest staring and in talks to take on the part of Marilyn.

As for “Awake,” well I still watch, but I’m not that in love with it. It seems to move so slow, and I wish we’d get on track with this big secret about why the higher ups tried to kill Michael. It looks like that will finally be explored in next week’s episode from the previews.

Read on for the spoilers!
