I know exactly what's wrong with them. I could write a dissertation on this type of television show fan psychology. At it's most basic level, it's an obsessive compulsive disorder. Specifically though, Juliette is the whipping girl for fans who feel particular story arcs aren't moving fast enough or Grimm isn't the show that they wish/think it could be (e.g., a total serial show rather than the current monster of the week). You get this phenomena in lots of serialized shows (e.g., Lori in Walking Dead, Skyler in Breaking Bad, Dany in Game of Thrones, etc.). Ultimately, the subconscious logic is "But for Juliette being on the show, there would be more time spent on the Royals, Nick, underwear scenes with Adalind, whatever." Therefore, the OCD fan lashes out at Juliette as being "boring, annoying, whatever."
