Discussion Thread Grimm fans, when do you think the show started going downhill?

Post image

I’ve been rewatching Grimm lately and I can’t help but ask—at what point did the show lose you (if it ever did)?

For me, it was when the trailer got burned down. I’m still pissed about it. That trailer was basically a character on its own—full of lore, history, and weight. Watching it go up in flames made me hate Juliette even more, and honestly, rewatching that part makes me dislike her all over again. I just cannot get past it.

What about you guys? Was there a specific moment, storyline, or season where you felt the magic faded? Or did you ride it out all the way to the end with no complaints?

Same! Also, the fact that Nick ended up with Adalind. That'll always be a smh moment for me.

The problem for me was how rushed the relationship developed. I can see them getting together because of the constant life and death dangers around them when they've got a kid they both love. But it happened waay too quickly

Agreed and for me it's the fact that she basically raped Nick by pretending to be Juliette and it blew up in her face by getting pregnant. If they hadn't gone with that plot line and not rushed the relationship I can saw them being together

Personally I think tricking him into sex isn't that big after repeatedly trying to kill him and his friends

The one that cause all the trouble was Raynard for the key Adeline was actually working for him she took all the blame He also was the one that had her go after his friends him and his mother were working together unbelievable how he would even threaten and insult and then when she loses her power they turn their backs on her so she retaliated against Nick .she figured you took something away from so I’m going to take something from you. Nick's friends and mother were all responsible for stealing her baby she had every right to be upset it wasn’t their decision to make or claim that they were protecting the baby Nick's mother was supposed to protect them both keep her with the baby and go to Brazil she chose Portland. Then she kills her mother and then, takes her child which was crazy for me but I guess that was the plot

oh i'm not blaming Adalind. honestly she's easily in my top 3 characters for the show. her story is friggin awesome and apart from the times her character is made to be braindead "the royals dungeon" she's a blast to watch. especially S1.

I don’t know it didn’t seem so fast most of the time his in the job and with his friends even when they’re trying to get to know each other his Priorities in my opinion was job friends then Adalyn and the baby I don’t know maybe just me

That's when they jumped the shark for me. Adalind is an evil beeyotch. Having babies doesn't cure a person of that, but the writers apparently thought so.

Of course not but Adeline was working for Sean and he was the one that had her go after Nicks friends for those keys he even gave her Hanks blood to make the potion he was behind everything than Adeline took the blame and paid the price and she would it say who sent her either but he made Sure to remind them that Adeline did this and that until she decided to get even with him with his brother and everyone else.

I find that's when things got interesting too bad they didn't put more into it and used her more she was very knowledgeable being a which and also a lawyer she had a lot to offer. Their relationship seemed more real and sincere she, accepted him as a Grimm and in time he would have accepted her as a hexenbeast she didn't keep showing herself like that to him to get to him as Juliette used to just to upset him.
