This show is a worthwhile addition to the AS library, catering to those who love the preposterous humor (and walk cycles) of shows like South Park, or the over the top violence of Superjail and Metalocalypse. It is actually difficult to compare this collection of twisted takes on the Brother's Grimm to other series on the network as it's sense of humor and unique aesthetics are in a league of their own.
Some of the pros of the series are some of the unexpected directions JJ Villard's takes these well known fables. Furthermore each episode often boasts a guest voice actor that surprises, from Corey Feldman to Finn Wolfhard or Jennifer Tilley. The visual humor and side splitting absurdity often against a backdrop of animation that is often as laughable as it is uniquely grotesque will keep viewers at least guessing what takes place next.
Some cons:
Certain episodes are stronger than other, I liked the Goldilocks, Boypunzel and especially the Red Riding Hood episodes. The others especially the season (hopefully not series) finale, Snow White, leaves more to be desired. Some of the weaker spots play on the sheer childishness of certain jokes. If one likes cohesion there is little here, and as far as actual "horror" goes it could be better described as over the top violences and gore. But there are some psychological elements mixed in that make it horrific all the same.
