Grimm was the little show that could. I watched it from the very beginning as the trailer was interesting and it was from creators of Angel. My Dad and I checked out the first episode together and both continued to watch it although not at the same time once I moved. The show got me from the very first episode with Monroe and Nick and their friendship was such a highlight of the show. I think I wanted to ship them in the beginning but then Rosalee showed up and it was Monroe/Rosalee all the way for me - I adore them to pieces and I love Rosalee in general, such a great character. I also really liked that it was a police show that followed police procedure and was often very detailed in it - and that it morphed into a show of friends who all worked together. I really enjoy it when characters stop keeping secrets, talk to each other and start to work together.
I didn't really like Adelind in the beginning and wasn't really feeling the idea of her and Nick getting together at all after what she did to him. But once the storyline started happening I did go with it and I felt Adalind really did grow as a person and by the end of it I was fine with that relationship. So the show did do a good job convincing me about that relationship. Nick and Juliette were certainly over once she burned the trailer and contributed to his mother's death, so it was great the show didn't really go for the triangle. And Juliette/Eve really came into her own with her powers, and especially in the 6th season - I started to like her again. And I loved Trubel - so the show did built its female characters after a slow start.
By season 5 I did think it was time for it to end - it was getting a bit of a chore to watch, so I was happy with the last season 13 episode order to finish it properly. I really enjoyed this season though and I will miss this show now that it is done. I will miss the characters and their dynamic. At least the show was definitely finished well. Still, I will miss it.
I watched the final three episodes - one on Sunday, and the last two on Monday - and it was a great way to finish watching it. I found the penultimate episode particularly well done and intense.
