Before Nick found out he was a grimm, I have the impression Portland had a normal life with some level of violence and with some level of unsolved crimes. Nick was probably able to increase the number of solved crimes (the wesen ones), but did it mean the violence on Portland decreased? Maybe it was the opposite if we consider the royals actions on Portland because of Nick.
We can’t also say a grimm is necessary as somekind of wesen police (or in the police force of any city) because wesen have the council with its own method of controlling the wesen. It was showed in the series. My point is that without grimm, the world would find another way to deal wesen (or maybe humans and wesen would have killed each other in the past and one of them wouldn’t exist anymore).
Unless we consider the final Z plot. In this plot only a grimm could have won the battle (actually three grimms ).
But if we ask: Is a grimm usefull in the world? Then I think a grimm can be very usefull and it was also showed in the series. The council used Nick help some times, for example. Even some wesen community used Nick’s help against other types of wesen.
Just as an example, I didn’t like all the BC versus HW plot. But since this plot was in the show, I think that is kind of situation where a grimm is more useful. I mean… I think Nick would be more useful as a HW soldier than a police officer. But the show was about police officer grimm. So that is how things happened in the series.
Just as a reminder. when Aunt Marie was telling Nick of his upcoming epiphany, she did mention that he was one of the last Grimm. If the show failed to prove if Grimms were essential for the balance of humans and Wesen, I think you missed the point. In the end, in my opinion, this was a very convoluted love story with remnants of the "Brothers Grimm" as the backdrop applied to current times mixed in with a police drama setting.
Besides the love story arcs between the main characters, including lonely Wu, whom had an episode with past love interests. I am excluding the S6, E7, "Blind Love", for obvious reasons. If you can review the 123 episodes, you will notice, the majority of them involve love interest between the WoW characters of those particular episodes. Were there murders, physical and mental abuse situations, robberies and other crimes? Yes, yes, yes and yes.
In the end, these were more stories about romantic relationships and how they were presented with a law and order backdrop complicated with Wesen and Grimm stirring the plot. Maybe I should start a thread about this whole idea of what was this show about. Law and Order, Monsters, Science Fiction, Fairy Tales, something else or all the above.
I wont since, in my opinion, once you sort it all out, it was about various love stories including the main character's arcs. It would be interesting how many were not and I will stick to my guns. I believe the majority of the WoW episodes involved some type of romantic relationships.
