Once Upon a Time Review


This week lets talk about the coolest tv series I've ever seen.  This is by far the best show that's been on TV since LOST and the yearly Hell's Kitchen seasons.  With a unique take on classic fairy tales this series shows different points of view and how the stories intertwine.
This show starts by showing two time periods  one in the fairy tale realm and one that seems to be current day in our world.  The people are the same, yet their names are different.  In our world they have no memory of their fairy tale alter-ego which you will learn is a result of a curse the evil queen has placed on everyone.

The main story revolves around how snow white's mom died and then she got a new stepmother as a result of her own personal tragedy and she later becomes the evil queen who curses everyone sending them to our world.

There's a fun spin on the background story of the dwarves, the true story of little red riding hood, Hansel & Gretel, Pinocchio, Cinderella, Rumpelstiltskin, Belle, Captain Hook, The Mad Hatter, Mulan, and more that you'll recognize.

Aside from the traditional fairy tales this show also delves into the back stories of minor characters such as showing the history and what happens to the huntsman after he lets Snow White go.

And the biggest twist of all is how Snow White and Prince Charming's daughter is the only one who can break the curse and is considered to be the Savior of all the fairy tale people.

The actors play their roles perfectly and are enchanting to watch.  This series definitely leaves the audience watching from the edge of their seat anxiously awaiting the next episode.
I am loving this show and my only concern is that since it has the same writers as LOST that the ending will be another confusing disappointment.  I really hope this show ends with a true happily ever after! (at least for the good guys)
