About this show

This is the story of two parallel worlds: one in a distant fairytale land, the other in present-day reality. ONCE UPON A TIME, an evil Queen cast a curse upon Snow White and Prince Charming along with the beloved characters we know and love with the intention of foiling their happy ending to get her own. Relationships will be formed, bonds will be made, battle lines will be drawn and love may be the only thing that can break the curse.

The flashback structure (a la Lost) gets boring after a while and inevitably messes with continuity. Casting was hit and miss, with some very wooden performances. The fairytale take was interesting at first but in later seasons it's just advertising for the latest Disney movies. Good to have on in the background, but not engaging enough to actually sit down and watch.

Can't wait until channel seven loses the rights to this show. Such a horror to have these types of media Corp around to stifle. We wanted it on tv and failing that, we wanted it on Google play. Now you know why people use torrents. Because of channel seven.

Excellent show, only let down by Channel 7's appalling track record of screening the seasons/episodes in a timely manner.
