In this episode, we get an opening that mirrors Hansel and Gretel but instead of children we get a wild thrill-seeking couple that breaks into homes to steal.
Again, as with the Red Riding Hood killer in the pilot, this storyline doesn't captivate. The series needs plots that will blow our minds. Take the fairy tales and twist them, make them truly evil. Instead, the plots are secondary, strictly connect-the-dots.
I don't understand the need to go for humor with the werewolf character. You always need humor to lighten the tension but this is slapstick-type humor that doesn't jibe with the overall tone of the series. They need to rethink this angle in a hurry because it doesn't work.
David Giuntoli is not growing on me. This part has been badly miscast. He doesn't have enough "presence" to draw us into the tales.
I'm looking for a quick hook on this show.
