I can’t say I agree…I loved every season of Grimm except maybe the back half of 4, and even that was interesting. I mean the N/a/dalind stuff in 5 was 1000% gross, and I will always feel like the writing decisions made in season 5 killed the show. But even so the season had some really strong episodes, and possibly the best finale they’ve ever done. It had just lost too much of the audience by that point to salvage the ratings.
Season 6 was the weakest season IMO, but then I think it couldn’t help but be weaker because it was slashed in half, episode-wise, and because it was an abrupt final season trying to live up to five years of story build-up. And although I loved it as a season and loved parts of the ending, I don’t really feel like they paid all of that off.
Granted, it’s not as bad as some highly-anticipated endings (nothing will ever be worse than the endings to Lost or HIMYM). And to be honest, the Grimm writers played my heart like a fiddle to the point that I didn’t even notice a lot of the flaws on my first or second viewing of the series finale.
But now that I’m removed from the emotional aspects of it a tiny bit, I can see that it still wasn’t completely worthy of all that came before. So if I had to choose a worst season, it would probably be 5 or 6, despite individual episodes that were fantastic.
