I always laugh when people place Adalind at the top of the most irredeemable people on the show while giving Renard a pass.

I get not liking Adalind in a relationship with Nick because of her sexual assault on him, but I also get there were extenuating circumstance that drove her to that point and Nick and Renard played a hand in it as she rightfully called them out on it when she showed up at the precinct pregnant with Kelly. Adalind isn't an innocent flower but she isn't a vile person either ever since she decided to set her life straight for the sake of her children. And practically all the characters on the show, including Nick have done some very questionable things that paint them squarely in the bad guy light like taking Diana away from her mother and lying to her and falsifying evidence against Kenneth (framing him for the Ripper murders) and then killing him  out of vengeance as opposed to carrying out justice, either as a cop or killing him in the line of duty, anything to justify his actions and that's just two things at the top of my head that I know for a fact were wrong but we're suppost to pretend otherwise because Nick is good guy and for some reason Adalind can't be seen as redeemable and can never be as the show's bad girl even when she actually turn her life around.

Renard became worse and vile between S5 and S6 but he's still in a better light than Adalind who never once waivered once she consciously decided to turn her life around...How odd.
