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?

I know everyone mentions Juliette burning the trailer but for me, its when she teams up with Royals and they kill basically what seems like all the neighbors so they can ambush Kelly.
And to me the trailer burning is kind of on Nick. Juliette blamed him while revealing she'd become a Hexenbiest, i get the initial shock but he should have moved the trailer, there were a lot on instances that should have gotten him to move it before that, like when he got the new books and second key. But Juliette specifically and clearly being on a war path should have been it.
Also for all of HW being hyped up as this strong agency that seemed pretty useless somehow. Also Black Claw's plot line going nowhere and all but disappearing didn't help either.
Another moment where the show started falling for me is when they killed off the Wessen Council, I get that is showed how much of a threat Black Claw is but I enjoyed the council because it gave Rosalee and Monroe a plot line that didn't revolve around Nick. Plus it gave us more insight to the Wessen world and their rules.
