True. But how likely is it that all writers combined fail to develop characters over the course of 6 seasons? I tend to agree with the opinion that they simply weren't aiming for that. Good enough for me. When you think about it, the writers of Grimm rather focused on an aspect that Buffy consistently ignored: The question how it feels to regular people, to live amongst 'monsters'....how surreal is that? Ironically, the people outside the Buffy Scoobie gang never even seemed to realize that there even were Vampires around. I always found that peculiar. Instead, every episode of Grimm was more like a recurring nightmare, in which people realize their surrounded by (fairytale) creatures. In that respect, in makes sense that characters didn't develop. Nothing develops in fairytales, nobody really changes. It's all rather static.
