I thought this was an interesting statement and so I singled it out. What do you see about the Grimms that makes them good guys? None of them strike me as good. They seem to walk a fine line between good and bad.
I have to agree, I am having trouble seeing the Grimms we have been exposed to as good (I might grant an exception to Truble -not sure). Nick is as dishonest as they come. He has show repeatedly bad judgment and yet he sits in judgment in matters of life or death over others. Notice the wesen have a council, that apparently is a group of individuals, which by its very nature tends to quell the passions that cloud ones judgment. Nick just reacts and the law of the land is whatever Nick feels it should be at a moment in time.
Essentially I like the show a lot more when I view it as fantasy. When you examine the underpinnings you find you are likely cheering the acts of a relativity immature vigilante who doles out capital punishment at whim. In some ways there is a parallel between Grimm and the Sopranos, where the fans of the show develop empathy for lead characters who are defacto sociopaths.
