Most hero-based TV series that lose their leads don't last more than another season or two with a replacement. Ensemble series fare much better when a regular character departs.
Grimm started out as a single hero + a small number of supporting allies, with a bunch of relatively disposable background characters, then gradually migrated toward being an ensemble as more and more of the background characters became enlightened and drawn into the growing network of scoobies. In theory, Nick could have been phased out by introducing another grimm and having a "pass the torch" arc, but a sudden, catastrophic loss without another grimm waiting in the wings to step up would have been certain death to the series.
True Face, but which of the other Grimms would have replaced Nick? Trubel? Josh, or some other European Grimm? But for sure, it would never be Juliette, as the enlighten one keeps on spewing on these threads about the main characters arguments. BTW, your use of "lead" character is spot on.
We saw how someone could get back her Hex and his Grimm. It was also insinuated that a human cold become a Hex but no where in the 6 seasons I saw any insinuations of a human becoming a Grimm. It was stated that could only happen through the bloodline.
So if we were to loose Nick as a Grimm lead character, given the stated fantasy rules of becoming a Grimm, how would any of the supporting cast such as Juliette, lacking the Grimm bloodline, such as Trubel and Josh had, how could she ever replace Him?
