When I think about everything I loved about the show, it’s ALL there in season 3. The team dynamic, the batshit storylines with twists I could never see coming, the endlessly inventive WotW plots that never got old. Season 3 is the peak of all of that for me. It’s when Team Grimm is at their best, IMO. It’s when Juliette is finay part of the team, too, which made me so happy to watch.
But also season 3 was just one of the best with the tightest writing, IMO. It started with the dial turned up to 11 and never slowed down. Every episode was great on its own and it all built steadily to a shocking finale that absolutely flattened the fandom emotionally. The world-building and the way all of the characters were delved into was incredible.
This is the season that gave us zombie!Nick and all his after-effects, Krampus, El Cucuy, the Aswang, the Wesen Council, Jake and Elly, Decapitare. This is the season that gave us Madalind, and Diana. That heart-wrenching moment for Adalind in front of Portland PD. Viktor, aka still the scariest of the royals IMO. Monrosalee wedding. This season had literally everything but telling Wu the truth, and it still planted the seeds for that.
Sometimes I feel like the latter seasons didn’t fully realize the potential of everything set up in season 3. But mostly I’m just glad we have it, because it was an incredible season.
