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.

After that the writers gave up? Everything seems to be a repeat of something else, with different characters. Also, I've noticed that they include characters based on Disney releasing or re-releasing movies. A good example would be Cruella last season. Her role didn't add anything, it was just convenient because Disney re-released 101 Dalmatians last Feb. Something original would be nice, stop doing old things over and over in different ways...please! You're making me not like this show -_-

Season 1 and season 2 is full of creativity. Each cliff hanger reveals something. The relationships between characters from Storybrooke and the Enchanted Forest could continue their creativity. Then, season 3 becomes frustrating. I admire the fact that turning Peter Pan into a villain, and Zelena too; but at the end of each episode is too frustrating. Season 4A with Frozen characters show no creativity. 4B gives high blood pressure. Again, no creativity. The new season 5 shows no creativity either.
