I would be curious to know if you had to spend a lot of time explaining some deviations away from the right way of behavior by the Grimm show or if generally speaking, it followed a path of the punishment fitting the crimes. Or whether perhaps you gave a little latitude to the fantasy element of the stories in guiding your children to learn the right thing from what they take as entertainment - there are mighty lessons that we absorb from the forms of entertainment we choose, I realize.
When my 18 year old daughter watched Juliette leave Nick she was upset. She believed boyfriends and girlfriends almost never broke up IRL at that time and did not believe Juliette's character could change so much (many posters feel that way here too). At 20 she is a little less naive about dating at college.
Women characters do not have to be having sex with the lead to be important to the story.
