I wonder how many weeks hey could have stretched out the plot of Nick trying to tell Juliette about wesen and his new experiences as a grimm and her not believing him...
There are issues with the series in this respect. I don't know of the script or even if this is documented somewhere, but there was some kind of a post made that stated wesen had existed alongside the human population for 4500-5000 years.
The series tells us that the royals knew of wesen and used Grimms as a type of police force to enslave them or keep them in line, whatever.
Add to that a wesen of the week premise for most of 5 years. I don't count the sixth as that focused primarily on the Z.
Furthermore, add to that that wesen have married humans in the past and present.
Add to that Renard stating that wesen crime is increasing. I don't know how he would know that, but then add to the flip side. If wesen crime is increasing, then wesen have to be increasing in population as well.
Add to that that the governments all over the earth are fully aware of wesen. In short, they are everywhere and from what we've seen, the criminal element loves to woge weekly. Hitler was a wesen. No doubt there are more of the infamous (and famous) who are wesen.
Add Nick's own family. His father was human. His mother's friend was human. They were fleeing from wesen. Who knows what happened to the uncle who never became a Grimm.
Add, Trubel, who after being housed in mental institutions, has been released and living by her own means, even though she sees wesen almost constantly.
Add in Meisner, a human who lived in the states, knew and encountered wesen.
If wesen crime is increasing, then no doubt DNA samples from the crime scenes are also increasing. Juliette herself found two sets of DNA and she's not skilled in forensics.
Add to that that these wesen are not too particular about their woge. Some do the full woge thing, others don't.
I know the series likes to take the stance that these humans have been living just under the noses of true humans for centuries, but it never portrayed them as all that quiet or all that peaceful. In fact, a lot of the time they were portrayed as not all that careful.
Look at all of the times Monroe accompanied Nick to crime scenes.
I can see why the series scrapped the hard nosed Juliette theme. It's not plausible in view of the whole premise of the series, where Nick gets involved with wesen in the pilot. I can even see her being somewhat non-believing if he told her in the pilot that he was a Grimm. I do think the series should have taken the sensible approach and Nick should have told her right away, however. He's giving her the chance to leave if she finds it all nonsense.
