My final predictions for Season 6….
Given that the creative team had full carte-blanc to craft the ending they desired for Grimm and had no constraints on the series, I am going to stand by my previous assertions that they effectively walked away from the shown in season 3 and simply phoned it in. Ergo, I expect much the same lameness that was season 4 & 5 of Grimm, only with additional apathy on the creative side.
Instead of swinging for the fences and using what amounts to a creative team a lottery ticket (a ½ season order paid in advance with no renewal pressures) and taking a chance at creating memorable TV they simply walked away from the series and allowed the actors to fulfill their career aspirations and took the route of least resistance, hoping to draw smiles from the fans. Which is to say the show will conclude based on the exuberance of the actors and their vision for their characters as the creative team already packed it in.
This show has simply been a walking dead series since season 3, with a creative team out of ideas, unable to execute on the fundamental premise of the series and unable to exploit even their own plotlines. In other words, all you are going to see is forced tidying up of loose ends, maintaining the status quo and no attempt will be made to address the many larger issues that the series inadvertently introduced that we as fans debated, but the creative team never addressed.
If I am wrong, I shall update this post and admit how pleasantly surprised I was, etc, etc, and willing to praise the creative team for their genius.
Moreover, in the long run, I predict Grimm will simply fade away. It will not achieve the cult status Highlander (the TV series) achieved, even given the similarity and the huge advancements in technology and the enormous advantages in terms of media that Grimm had over Highlander.
And that is the real shame. It is not often a show is given what amounts to a blank check to craft its own destiny. Grimm has been given that. It shall be interesting to see if the creative team rises to the occasion or simply ride out the pay check. I suspect the latter.
