I started watching this show because the concept seemed interesting. A cop who can see monsters that has to deal with a moral conflict of doing his job or following his family’s legacy. Unfortunately this show has moved away from that concept too many times that I have to take a minute every episode to figure out what it’s about.

I think the biggest problem in the show is Juliette, Eve and they all lead to Bitsie Tulloch (there are numerous articles on the net that list her as one of the “worst actors on TV” to “the most cyberbullied actresses on TV” and many more). It amazes me that a show can stay this dedicated to an actress knowing that it just isn’t working. If you review the show from the first season you can see that the writers tried everything to keep her in the show. So much so that they started changing the main concept of the show and including more relationship issues. While most fans (and myself) didn’t care too much for the relationship issues with Nick and Juliette, it wasn’t a deal breaker. After the relationship issues Juliette started doing inexcusable things burning the trailer and more importantly playing a part in Nick’s mother’s death. At this point fans rallied to the internet and were asking for Juliette’s head so much so that the writers had to do it. Now it’s past the midpoint of season 5 and bam look its Juliette again but she changed her name to Eve? Whatever they want to call her, its Bitsie Tulloch. If the writers wanted to introduce a kickass wesen killing machine, great I’m all for it but why make it Bitsie Tulloch with all the previous drama the character had? Do the writers think the fans won’t notice Bitsie Tulloch because her name is Eve now?

We all know Nick and Juliette are in a serious relationship of camera and I wish them the best but there has to be more of a reason that this actress plagues this show. I don’t think anyone can say that she is a great actress or that fans want her on the show (especially after all that she has done) so what is it that makes these writers start writing the show around her?

Here is a brief evolution of the Juliette character which in turn has changed the direction of the show numerous times:

Juliette the unknowing girlfriend
Juliette the nosey girlfriend
Juliette the cheating girlfriend
Juliette the evil b*tch
Juliette the killing machine, oh wait its Eve with all of Juliette’s memories?

It’s ridiculous to think that Nick won’t have some feeling (whether good or bad) towards Juliette/Eve. Let’s see, you cheated on me, you tried to kill me and my friends, you burned whatever family heirlooms I had in the trailer, you helped kill my mother but hey you changed your name so we’ll let bygones be bygones…oh I love you!? Yeah that does make sense, does it?

The shows dedication to this actress and the fact that it has moved so far away from the original Grimm concept has made me lose my interest in it and now we have a government sanctioned wesen and grimm dream team?

Change the name from Grimm to the Bitsie Tulloch Show
