But, the show handled Hank’s and Wu’s initiation into the Grimm/Wesen world the same way - place each in a sufficiently emotionally distraught situation so he's relieved to learn he's not insane and there’s a method in place to deal with these bizarre/dangerous creatures.
I can understand how their experiences propelled them to jump in head first. But it’s just another example of G & K placing expediency over character and story evolution.
I think there was certain kind of storytelling going on with Grimm. I'll just call it their style. It was actually consistent throughout. They were really into the WOW and getting plots played out quickly. Many people specifically tuned in for this fantastical show for that reason when it started. They had lots of great monster/fairy tale stories. Same with me when I started watching from the first season. I thank FaceintheCrowd for reminding us. From the start, it had always been that way. Later, I wanted it to become more but there are people who have always been happy the way it was and needed no change. Those fans have also stayed with the show till the end. I still enjoyed the show immensely, even though I wanted more fleshing out and more talk. However, that would have made the show a drama and pissed off some of the regulars mighty plenty.
