I completely agree with you regarding the fleshing out of the other characters being a weakness. As you say, giving Hank and Nick more of a relationship and more depth is important and will also bring Nick's relationship and conflicts with Monroe into relief. It's an interesting point you make about Hank acting for 'the greater good' as it were in the old case, and how that's something Nick must come to terms with himself regarding being a cop and a Grimm
( ... )
I'm less irritated by Nick's shininess than I might be in another character, mainly because I feel like it's being packaged as innocence. They throw those lines in here and there that reinforce that trait in him (in the pilot Hank even made that comment about taking a picture of him so he could remember "when [he] was young and innocent." Or when Monroe calls him an idiot, lol.) I think he's being set up as beginning a journey that's going to change him.
In regards to your last point, I agree. I want to see more of that inner conflict. It's coming out here and there in a sort of offhand way (lying to HAnk, having to ask Monroe about everything he doesn't know to have a clue, and most recently, having Juliette threatened), but I'd like to see them kind of dig in and *talk* about what he's goingthrough at some point, too.
