The show only elevates Grimms because it's called "Grimm" and has one as its main character. If it had been called "Hadrian's Wall," Meisner would have been main character and Grimms would have been one agent and one outsider who the team keeps trying to recruit. And if it had been called "Monroe," then Monroe would have been like Sherlock Holmes and Nick would have been the ignorant police inspector who keeps having to call upon the brilliant consulting Blutbad for advice on all things wesen. And they could have used all the same stories and just tweaked the scenes and dialog to change the POVs (except they probably wouldn't have killed Meisner if he had been the lead character).
