The series seems to be written by season, which means that the series aim shifts radically from season 1 to season 6, and I mean it.
Season one seems to be the one most according to the series title, intending to bring the Grimm brother's tales to real life in a sort of supernatural cop show.
This approach had charm, but it didn't have much future. As the seasons advance Grimm takes the fairy tales into the political ground, placing different kinds of monsters in the ministry and resorting to changed timelines, adapting world events to Grimm's logic.
In my regard, the unfolding of the series is perfect up until season four maybe five, where the Grimm cop show from the first season is completely discarded and the Wesen politics take power.
The series final was disappointing. It would have been bad enough to resort to the clichè apocalyptic prophecy, with the devil coming to the earth and such because the devil has nothing new to show us. It would be worst enough to have this OP devil, more OP than Kirito and Momonga together, being beaten with the power of friendship.
The only thing that could aid this made on the fly, generic end with all the dramatic slow-mo deaths of characters that once were meaningful but lost all uniqueness was indeed the Shakespearean ending, with everyone dead. But no, that would have been sort of a good ending.
So what did the directors, the writers, the editors I don't know who takes the fault for this monstrosity do? They bring them all back and they hug and say "Yay, we save the world! Go us!" and then, as a coup de grace, they put the "legacy" scene twenty years after that unsatisfactory, inconclusive ending with all the kids of the characters being a new team of brotherly monster hunters. Unbelievable.
