Exactly. The blind acceptance of the actions of a character to further the plot are the mark of children's Saturday morning cartoons and not adult dramas. In adult dramas the majority of the characters generally behave as people do in real life. We all a people who respond differently to the same stimuli, but based on our lifetime of experience we know that there really are a limited set of likely responses and are generally very concerned when someone we know does not act in accord with one of them. The trouble with Grimm is the writing repeatedly has the characters behaving in ways that no rational person would behave.
Just because Grimm is set in Oregon does not mean the entire audience is high when they watch the show.

I've always held this position. It's why I have been disappointed with decisions made on the show for this year and why I've been adamant about why shows like Game of Thrones have been garbage for the last two years although I prefer Grimm to GOT these days. Characters making decisions that make no sense just to move the plot along and get a rise out of the audience. Calling them adult dramas is nonsense. They are only considered that for the graphic content and not the writing.
I'm not a hater. I joined this forum because I'm a big fan of the show and I used to be a huge fan of GOT. I just wish that the writers didn't get lax with the details as the shows has have gone on. Sometimes, it really feels like TPTB have partially checked out and are looking forward to their next project while the shows declines in quality.
