Grimm - The End (Series Finale) - Review

2 Apr 2017

Share on Reddit


Hi Grimmers! So, here we are, this is the end. After six seasons, and 123 episodes, Grimm has come to an end. Written by David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf, and directed by David Greenwalt, the last episode of Grimm provides a real conclusion for our heroes, or as we used to call it, Scoobies (in honor of Buffy's gang, don't forget Greenwalt comes from the Widonesque world). With the series finale, Grimm opted for a very optimistic conclusion, underlined the power of friendship and the importance of a family. Because, in the end, every character has become part of something incredible. I've decided to do something different instead of a real review. Let's talk about Grimm for the very last time.

"The strength of your blood, the blood of your Grimm ancestors, all of us it’s inside you. It’s what makes us who we are. Trubel too. The strength we need that we all need comes from our family. It’s where we’ve always found the way and the will to fight. And with that, we can defeat any evil. Together."

Nick Burkhardt. David Giuntoli gave a very stunning performance in the series finale and I cried a bit when I saw how much dedication he put in his character he's been playing for six years. Nick's journey has been plenty of good and bad things: through dead and pain, he found love and family, something he couldn't never imagine. At the beginning of the series he was the hero, but he never intended to be like that. At the end of his journey, Nick has become a man and a father. Everything he's done was to protect his family and the ones he loves, like every human being. He realizes the power he had embrace: he's a Grimm but he's never alone, because battles can't be fought without a solid army - like Buffy and Angel taught us.
I'm glad the writers decided to put aunt Marie and mom Kelly back because otherwise Nick couldn't find a way out.

Adalind Schade/Nadalind. Oh my God, can I say I'm a little disappointed? Don't get me wrong, but in a modern world where all the women are introduced as strong character, I wish we could have seen more of Adalind as a Hexenbeist, not just a mother and a lovely dame. Claire Coffee's character has had a very difficult journey and sometimes I didn't like it. Like Buffy and Spike, Nick and Adalind fell in love in a very unusual way: from enemies to lovers, they learned from their mistakes, they kept fighting for each other and never back down. The strenght of their love lies in the hope, this is why they are endgame. When everything was lost, Nick found Adalind and a reason to start over again. I wish we could have seen more of their love, but hey, too bad we had only 13 episodes this season.

Monroe/Rosalee. Those two deserve all the happiness in the world, seriously. They've been through so much that we can't forget. I'm a bit disappointed again because I wish we had the chance to see a baby Monsalee around, maybe with the time jump, but you can't always get what you want. Monroe and Rosalee have been the stone cold of the show: their relationship has grown up so much during this season that I don't even know where to start. I'm glad they both survive the final apocalypse.

Sean Renard. When season six started I thought he was the big bad of the season. I'm happy I was wrong. Again, I can't say I'm fully satisfied because I wanted to see more of a protective-dad-Wesen-former-Captain Renard. There was an important moment we need to focus: Adalind and Sean finally have their talk and make amends: "We both made a lot of mistakes. But we did one thing right. Diana." Awww. This melt my heart. This is what I call a widen family. Thank God the writers didn't choose the triangle way, so we get to see a new meaning for the word 'family'. I want to picture Nick, Adalind, Sean, Diana and Kelly all together while sitting and have lunch. Grimm taught us a big lesson: everyone is able to make amends and forgive. You just have to wish, if you want your happy ending.

Juliette/Eve. I used to like Juliette, but I started to hate her character around season 3. So, I was excited when the writers introduced Eve, which was a great Hexenbeist in season 5. I still don't understand all this importance around her during this season: we still don't know her connection to the Zerstörer. But, like I said before, it was essential that Nick and Eve had that conversation, which ended with a "No regrets". As much as Nick wanted his former fiancée back, Juliette is gone and in that moment when he realizes that, he was happy to let her go. Nick loves Adalind, that's for sure, but you can't forget the one you loved.

I need to spend some words about Diana and Kelly. Who wants a spin-off with all those two? When Diana opened that door, who wasn't thinking about Buffy Summers? Also, aren't you picturing Nick, Adalind and their son fighting Wesens together?

In the end, Grimm was all of that: a show about your identity, who shows what you really are, but it's also a show about a family who tries to fit in this (magical) world, full of monsters (criminals, thiefs, terrorists). Family is the most powerful weapon a Wesen needs to be scared of.

Goodbye, Grimm, we'll be missing you!

(I apologize for every grammar mistake you will find).
