Oh my goodness, this has got to be one of my favorite shows. The characters are amazing, the plot , and it even has good humor. I love the idea of the evil queen casting a curse so that the fairytale characters are trapped in a town with no magic ,stuck in time without their memories, and just the way the show plays out in general. I will admit the plot can be a little confusing and twisted and some areas so sometimes it feels a bit messy, but I absolutely love all the twists and cliffhangers. Not to mention Regina’s character development, I think she’s well written and her actress, Lana Parilla, plays her very well. However the show can feel a bit repetitive at times, but it’s still definitely worth it. What I mostly love about the show is the way that it makes the fairytales and characters twisted and not exactly their story, or mixed with other ones. For example, Rumple was not only rumplestiltskin, but also the beast for belle, the son of Peter Pan, and supposedly the crocodile that took Hooks hand, it’s so cool. Taking a fairytale or Disney movie character and twisting the story to either make it cooler or disturbing is a big thing the show does and I love.
