Once upon a Time plot

A bounty hunter by trade, Emma Swan can track down people who would rather not be found. She herself is found on her 28th birthday by a 10-year-old boy who claims to be her son. He says he lives in a village, Storybrooke, where all fairytale characters have been banned by the evil witch (his stepmother) and that Emma is the only one who can undo this curse. All the residents of Storybrooke suffer from amnesia because of the spell and do not know which fairytale character they actually are.

More fun than I expected! I remember NET5 airing the series several years ago. The commercials appealed to me at the time, but in the end I never saw a single episode. When I saw that the series was on Netflix, I decided to give it a (late) chance.

The storytelling technique really appeals to me. I think it's cool when one succeeds in interweaving several stories (in this case fairy tales) without the continuity suffering to a remarkable extent. If there's one thing that Once Upon a Time really does well, it's that. It's well put together and makes you curious about what's to come every episode. The acting and decoration also stand out in a positive sense. The fairytale world is very beautifully designed.

Only pity is that the CGI occasionally leaves something to be desired. I am referring in particular to the creatures from the fairytale world (the wolf, the dragon) that seem to come straight from an old computer game. Ultimately, this is too small an aspect to really destroy the series, but I secretly hope that this gets a bit better in the follow-up seasons. I also ask myself the question that has already been asked above: 'will the series succeed in maintaining the current interest?' I'll find out soon enough, because this season certainly invites you to check out the rest.

Favorite character is Rumpelstiltskin by the way. Interesting backstory and you have no idea which side he is on. Well done by Robert Carlyle.

4*

You have to love it, but I thought this was a great season. And I've watched it several times. This is because I just love how they created the fairy tales in this series.

I still like the first three seasons, but after the third season it gets less and less. Too many characters have been added in my opinion, which is a shame. I also don't understand why some fairytale characters (like Cinderella) are double.
