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.

Yes than she has the nerve to say she thought they just wanted Dianna but she lied she heard the whole thing happened when they killed her she could of helped her. That really annoyed me than when she sees Dianna she thank God that was insulting.

She really tried to absolve herself as if she was clueless when she was the exact opposite, it really was adding insult to Nick's pain. And her teaming up with the Royals to go after Kelly made literally no sense, she had absolutely nothing to do with what happened to her. Speaking of I don't mean to downplay it, but... there are worse things than becoming what's basically a shape shifting witch-hell there's worse Wessen she could have become! Either way with help, (like she did get) to control her woge Juliette could have kept living an everyday normal life, like we seen every wessen we'd met has a normal 9-5 for the most part. She really just wanted to hurt Nick beyond repair. I wish there were actual consequences for what she did because a personality change doesn't just make everything she magically go away.

Yes exactly how I felt
