I think you've hit on one of the reasons why I can't seem to enjoy "Grimm" as much as I want to. The series protagonist is morally compromised. If there's no "rock" for the audience to stand under, then a series can fly off in any direction, with all of the characters basically functioning as ciphers instead of recognizable human beings.
Thank you, Hexenadler. I was thinking back to the episode where Nick loses his Grimm powers. At first, Nick said he didn't want the powers back because this was a chance for him and Juliette to live normally. But as time went on, he confided to Hank that he wanted to be a Grimm again.
It might have been an interesting turn if the scoobies didn't try so hard to find a cure for him, for say, a season. It might have been a good thing for Nick to be fully human again. It could have given him a chance to redeem himself. In my opinion he really needs to be redeemed, more than most of the characters. I think before the Grimm thing came along, Nick believed in his public servant oath and was probably a courageous and honorable detective. To me, losing that is truly a loss. I agree with you, it is hard to watch him and see him as the good guy.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
