I think it depends on what matters most to each person. In reality 5 and 6 are equal for me I can't decide. I prefer the dark and "despair" side of seasons 7 and 8 even if season 8 has USELESS episodes. Rather than 5 and 6 with the magic and endless love stories. I don't hate Paige and Henri. What I don't like is (I love you, I leave you, I love you, I leave you) I think that's why our rankings differ from what we personally really like. If I classified my seasons by characters or by power balance. The classification would therefore also be different. For example I can't stand Phoebe in season 3 which I will rank last, she lies, is naive and stubborn. In the end it's a question of tastes and colors 🤣 for example I love science fiction and fantasy but I hate detective series. Reason why "Grimm" didn't appeal to me even though it should have. It's a difficult thing to answer properly. Each season is different than the next. The show can have more standout episodes than a standout season overall. Objectively a season can be bad in general but have better standout episodes. Characters can be more beloved and liked in particular season. The demons and villains can be more interesting in certain seasons. I love fantasy and Supernatural shows too like you. I get you with Grimm. I'm not much for a detective series myself but strangely Grimm appealed to me because of the Grimm fairytales and different supernatural entities week to week and the concepts. Though it lost itself along the way. Plus it had that Buffy like feel with a Scooby gang. I seem to be into detective shows if it has a fantasy twist. I still have never watched an NCIS or police drama properly after all these years. I might one day though. My partner loves Grimm, I looked next to him. I remember enjoying the later seasons where his wife (ex-wife? I don't remember!) dies of possession in the same way as Fred in Angel. It’s that darkness that I love! also a fan of Supernatural and Nos4A2 ! Buffy too of course!

That's probably why 1 and 2 are my favorites. They learn and work together. Piper leaves Dan but doesn't return with him. Prue too, although she probably would have gone back to Andy if he hadn't been killed. Leo is starting to annoy me. After these two seasons the bond of sisters breaks and is no longer the same and I have to fall back on other things that I love, namely darkness and danger. So we understand that I'm less of a fan of seasons 5 and 6 even if I love the episode "the eyes have it" it's incredible for me. Yes, my data supports the S1-S2 fandom that ALL three sisters are indeed working, TOGETHER, in those seasons. It does start to trail off in S3, like others suggest. HOWEVER, I still disagree on the whole PERSONALITY of the sisters have "changed", but the use of their basic powers being used TOGETHER definitely shifts. I WILL say S3 still shines, if we're talking about ANY ability being used and NOT just their basic powers. But, OFC, I understand the basic power argument. As the later seasons definitely abuse those other powers mainly Piper's exploding power and Paige's travel orbing. In fact, if you want their basic powers being used, period (in the same episode), the statistics goes like this (and I'm being harsh and critical with which episodes I'm considering): S1 = 15 S2 = 13 S3 = 5 S4 = 3 S5 = 1 S6 = 0 S7 = 0 S8 = 2 So, yes, S6 & S7 (despite me loving those seasons for their stories) really don't utilize the basic powers all that often especially ALL three using them, TOGETHER, in the SAME episode. Yes, S3-S5 & S8 will still show signs of secondary powers, but (at least) it recognizes the basic powers. Whenever S6 & S7 DO utilize the basic powers, it NEVER exceeds passed TWO sisters, unfortunately. Piper NEVER freezes in the following: S6E3 "Forget Me, Not" S6E15 "I Dream of Phoebe" S7E8 "Charmed Noir" Phoebe NEVER has a Premonition in the following: S6E18 "Spin City" S6E20 "A Wrong Day's Journey Into Right" S6E22 "It's a Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad World, Pt 1" S7E4 "Charrrmed!" S7E6 "Once in a Blue Moon" S7E19 "Freaky Phoebe" Paige NEVER TK Orbs in the following: S6E13 "Used Karma" Yes, as we can see, Phoebe is often being held back from performing any abilities, let alone basic powers which is why I'm CONSTANTLY bringing her up, all the time.

Going back to my original order: 6 > 7 > 8 > 5. Even if Phoebe is utilized more in S5 than S8, I get better enjoyment out of S8 than I do S5 which is ultimately what it boils down to. I can see how S5 would rank a little higher for some. It's just hard for me, to enjoy S5 LOL
