Once Upon a Time (2011–2018)
7/10
Great show, ruined by a benevolent villain.
2 February 2012
Once Upon a Time is a good show which does a fantastic job linking the past to the present. Most of the characters are great and I especially love some of the bit character's unique personalities. Unfortunately, the villain is not evil. The "ultimate" curse does little more than send story book characters to Maine, which is not a curse. Am I supposed to feel empathy for people cursed never to find their true love? Is this really the worst curse an evil person can think of? The conflict between the protagonist and the antagonist is nothing but a war of words which results in a perpetual stalemate. Simply replacing the annoying villain whose only talent is boring someone to death, with a more evil, malicious and vindictive villain will significantly improve the show. In a scale of 1-10 in which 1 is the worst score, 10 is the best and 5 is average. This show is a 7/10. This is well above average.
