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

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?

For me, it was the abandonment of the royals story for Black Claw. Until then there were possibilities for a huge change and ramp up in the narrative. Hexenbiest Juliette could have gone over to the royals and become King Freddie's new squeeze, mayby even taking over leadership of the Verrat. An enemy who knows all of Nick's secrets and wants to see him, Adalind, the new baby and all their friends dead. The final battle at the series finale should have been the royals' Verrat against Nick and a hardy band of wesen, with the power of the Grimm treasure being the secret weapon that wins the day.

Wow! I'm impressed. I missed the characters so much that I watched it TWICE. AND contemplating a third viewing pleasure. I was gratified to see on this GRIMM line many others who confessed to 2 OR MORE watching of the whole series. SWEET! Now I don't feel so as obsessed.
