Prof. Draco wrote: I kind of agree. Season one made the wesen the stars of the show, it's what got me and presumably many others hooked in the first place. Season two began to focus more on the main chracters, but the wesen were still the stars. Ths was also true for the first part of season three, but in the latest episodes they've diverged from that to focus entirely on plot, and I'm finding it dull. I watch it for the wesen and the mythos, not the politics and parental issues. I'm still going to watch, I've become invested now, but if I were a new veiwer the recent episodes would completey fail to draw me in. I would be very disappointed, if the show still was just about the 'freak of the week' (reminds me of Smallville... it took the show about 5 seasons to get over that point - hadn't it been for good looking Ollie and Clark, I never had continued watching).

If one prefers shows, where every single episode is a self-contained part, I would advise rather watching shows like Law&Order. You can watch any episode and would only recognize the season through the hairdo of Det. Benson...

For me Grimm started to get really catching the moment we got to know more about the maincharas. Otherwise they would be easily replaceable, wich they are definitly not!

Of course it's hard to climb onto the train, when its already in full speed. You can't start reading a book from the middle and expect to understand everything at once. Would you rather prefer a show, that explains Wesen and Grimm in every single Episode anew? Sometimes you have to move forward, to get the story going. Ever seen DS9? Always on the Spacestation turned out borig sooner or later. It was interesting again, when they got the Defiance and could explore more space and therefore more story.

Grimm explores now a whole world of Wesen, Grimms and Royals, instead just Portland ;-)
