Grimm Season 4: What's Worked? What Hasn't?

With a show called Grimm, it was certainly a bold move to strip the main character of the supernatural powers that give the series its name.

Much of the first part of Grimm Season 4 was about Nick Burkhardt coping with the loss of his abilities and grappling with the possibility that this might be the chance to escape the crazy world of monsters and mayhem for good.

The Best and Worst of Grimm Season 4

1. Best: Trubel comes into her own

When Trubel first came onto the scene late in Season 3, she was little more than a disturbed, violent young woman fleeing from the monsters she saw everywhere. By mid-Season 4, she evolved into a strong and confident Grimm - and willing to think of more than just herself. In Season 4 Episode 7, Trubel left Portland with Josh Porter to protect him from his Hundjager pursuers.

Of course, he's the main character in a series titled Grimm, not Portland Cop with Great Hair. It was pretty much inevitable that Nick would get back in the game sooner or later.

With eight episodes aired, Grimm is taking a winter siesta until January 16 – so this is the perfect time to take a look back at Season 4 so far and consider what we liked and what just isn't working well for us.
