The start of this series was great. It had action that pulled you in at the very start and was interesting enough to keep watching each episode after that. But really makes it special is the way they have introduced thing like the wessen council, royal families and the resistence. Some shows have tried to incorporate a larger picture plotline, for example Revenge and the whole Initiative plot for season 2, and it has brought rating and the viewers interests down because it got out of hand too quickly. With Grimm they slowly pushed forward these plots that now even when the main character Nick isn't on screen and its Seans, or someone elses, time to shine you aren't bored or confused because you know they explained details (the ones they share) to us and you are genuinely interested at what is going to happen next to that character. Instead of the general "Why are we watching this character all of a sudden, this has nothing to do with what is happening to the main character."
