While the Bitsie/Juliette/Eve haters will probably go ballistic, I think this concept has a lot more potential than, say, a Trubel spin-off. As someone else on this board has already pointed out, Juliette/Eve will NEVER be able to fully salvage her relationship with Nick after betraying his mother to the royals.
But a series that focuses squarely on Juliette/Eve's redemption has promise. Spider-Man will never be able to forgive himself for allowing Uncle Ben's murder to happen, but that won't stop him from trying to make up for it until the end of his life. The same principle applies to Juliette/Eve's character. A show which chronicles how she gradually crawls her way out of the pit she dug for herself could be fascinating, and her unique position as a human-turned-Wesen would trap her between two worlds, much like how Nick was trapped between being a Grimm and a cop.
There's a lot of loose ends from her rampage as Hexenette that could be explored in the spin-off, too. Does she have a family besides her grandmother? Do they know what's happened to her? What about the relatives of the neighbors who were slaughtered by the Verrat on the night she betrayed Kelly? Do they have a score to settle with Juliette/Eve? Are Hexenbiests doomed to be evil and reprehensible by nature, or can they become something more?
I do have one big request as a fan, though: Bud needs to be a regular on the series.
