Just completed Season 1. Like how the writers have cleverly interweave famous fairy tales like Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Red Riding Hood, Rumpelstiltskin, Alice in Wonderland, Pinocchio, etc and give them an unexpected twist.
The good guys are rather weak in this series and are often outshone by the villains. Can't stand the draggy on-off relationship between Mary Margaret and David, the alter-egos of Snow White and Prince Charming, who along with all the fairy tale characters, are transported our world with an all-consumming evil curse concocted by the Evil Queen and have forgotten their true identities. And Emma, who is the only one who can break the curse, is unbelievably naive even though she is supposed to be street-wise.
Love the villains more than the protagonists as they are far more interesting. Lana Parrilla's Regina/Evil Queen is the epitome of true evil as she is hellbent on vengeance against Snow White for ruining her happiness. Robert Carlyle's creepy Mr Gold/Rumplestiltskin will have you guessing which side he's on as he double and triple crosses those who are in cohorts with him.
The series is rather addictive if you can get pass the scenes between Mary Margaret and David and I can't wait to see what Mr Gold has unleashed into the town in Season 2.
