I agree.
Interesting you should mention this. I just completed my summer training camp for LEOs, and Grimm and Nick were a constant topic around the campfire at night when we were BSing about.
I will say that the jocular comments of past years in regard to Grimm were now gone and there was a decisive negative tone to how they now viewed the show. That shift in perception had everything to do with the horrific ambushes of police and how officers now view the way the media portrays them. We may view Grimm as entertainment, but those who have their rear end on the line may not be so appreciative toward anything that feeds a negative narrative.
If I am not mistaken I believe Adriano Neres Rodrigues has posted in the past that he was not aware that Nick and company action as LEOs were not typical of U.S. LEOs because in some other countries and cultures police corruption is expected and tolerated. So as an outsider, it seemed normal rather than atypical. Personally I feel shows like Grimm and movies like Dirty Harry have denigrated the culture surrounding the law enforcement profession.
(and if I mis-characterized his sentiments or have Adriano confused with someone else I apologize.)
Oxford commas are so totally rad!.
