The show certainly doesn’t deal with redemption, punishment, or whatever unless a specific story needs it. One might consider Adalind losing Diana is punishment for her actions and choices, but I don’t see evidence of the characters or writers presenting that opinion. Cause and effect maybe, but not punishment.
I don’t know why Juliette’s actions would be any worse than Adalind’s or Renard’s. Juliette’s not the first character to be let off the hook because the creative team wanted to move on with the stories. Renard was the mastermind behind Marie’s assassination attempt and the spell that almost killed Hank. But because the show wanted to move him closer to the Grimm’s circle, Renard returned a key, told Nick he wouldn’t work against him anymore, and Nick said okay. And I don’t remember much hoopla about Renard suddenly becoming an assumed ‘good guy’.
That’s about as much ‘redemption’ as you’ll find on Grimm - “here’s your key.”

As for Game of Thrones imitating or providing commentary on Middle East conflicts - isn’t the show simply utilizing the world’s violent history, whether current, centuries or millennia? Global history provides a smorgasbord of material for a show like GOT.
