Kind of like "24" or "Alias" with fangs and claws. It becomes even more subversive in S05, when we discover that the government knows about Grimms and what they do, looks the other way and even wants to recruit them as agents.That's true. Its basis also dwells in fairy tales, and in fairytale worlds even the hero or the knight in shining armour could sometimes act in morally twisted ways. For example, in the case of Sleeping Beauty, the king rapes Sleeping Beauty while she is asleep and she ends up falling pregnant and giving birth to twins. Then the stepmother in Snow White is forced to dance to death in red hot iron shoes.
