Mostly dead is still partly alive!

People keep liking Once. And I keep on not understanding it. I mean, I used to enjoy it, but... ah well. Grimm is much less clunky on the dialogue, mostly better written, and much more hardcore urban fantasy whereas Once is, for tone, more of a sort of wacky almost Pratchettian blend of fantasy/fairytale and modern world. So that part depends on what you're into!
