So many people are hating this show because they talked about trump for 5 minutes. This show is not about politics at all. Really interesting show, excited to see where the season goes.

Why so much hate on this. I don't get it. The story is good, the acting is great, the script is awesome. This show needs more love.

Too many people with the low scores are comparing it to once upon a time which you can't. It's supposed to be an essence of the fairy tales with its own story background. Not a fantasy but real world drama and thrills. Sure maybe it starts off slow but give it a chance an you'll be hooked! I'm glad to hear a second season will be coming.

Little Red Riding Hood. The Three Little Pigs. Hansel & Gretel.... I've watched 5 episodes, and loving it so far. Very well acted, and excited to see what's coming next?

First episode leaves you wanting more, strong cast and interesting story where you can see "eastereggs" from your favorite childhood stories. Have two problems with the show, first, the fact that they have to make a point about being political (felt very forced). Second, the lack of relatability, unless you live in a townhouse on the upper west side, wich ofcourse many do, but many more dont.

This is a very good story! I dont understand this extremely underrated

Great first episode and it definitely has me hooked. Each subplot had me engaged and I hope they stick with the interweaving structure of them.

A modern twist on fairy tales!!!! Different from any other show I have ever watched, acting really good, deserves more recognition

Creates suspense by having the characters make really stupid choices. It was a demolition derby of people's lives. Just sad.

I love the the actors in this series so I figured it would be good but I wasn't sure how good it could be since it's just a cbs show. I usually don't bother with shows that are on cbs, abc or nbc because they all seem to be alike. This show was a great surprise and has been thrillingly intriguing keeps me excited for the next episode. If I didn't know better I'd think I was watching hbo.

Pro: Good interpretaion & mostly in the 2nd season there are many twist in the story. Adventurous with many loved & hated characters Contra: I love HBO series but in this show i saw many fault (for example: cutting (mostly at s02e10), the missing & unfinished story (s01e10)

What were the writers thinking? One of the most boring, meaningless shows I've had to try and power through.

Was a bit confusing at first as to how it would tie in to each fairy tale but give it time. By episode 3 I was hooked and I absolutely love the story telling. Great show so far.

It's the kind of show where you can't stop watching, but you will literally be so so sooo annoyed at the characters. They make such stupid decisions that are life-jeopardizing and just aggravating to watch. Still... If you have time and like the thriller/mystery type show, def watch it.

One of the most unique and innovative views of telling a fairy tale in modern day society. It may take an episode or two to figure out who the characters are in reference to the particular fairy tale being told. I noticed another viewer had to bring politics into this but politics has NOTHING to do with this series. Not sure what that other viewers problems are but that is his/her issue. I love this series and I hope others do also. Enjoy.

Full of twists that you never saw coming. Keeps you guessing.

I wasn't sure about this series in the beginning but if you give it a bit time like I did it becomes better. The first three or four episodes I wasn't very impressed but if you can sit through those it gets more interesting at the point you will watch all the other episodes at once as you want to know what happens. There are enough twists and turns to keep your constant attention. The stories are intertwined and that gives the main story a little boost. The acting is okay, there are some annoying characters but they act well as annoying characters. I don't know why you would take Danielle Campbell to play a seventeen year old girl though, she looks definitely older and that's kinda bothering me. I'm not going to write this is an excellent show but it's entertaining. There are much better series but I had fun watching this one. I'm curious what they will come up with in season two, that will be interesting.

And then season 2 happened. Poorly written, poor script, poor acting. The only saving grace were Danielle and Paul. Season 1 there was a sense of depth and purpose, and real intrigue. but the family that season 2 was based around were all quite unlikeable with no redeeming qualities, there was no desire for any of them to succeed. And the entire season was entirely predictable and didn't flow well, sometimes characters would do complete 180's without any real explanation as to why Season 1 is absolutely worth the watch though

This is too good. A very modern and dark version of all the fairy tales but a good one at that. First season started slow but caught up good. Season 2 is way too interesting. Amazing.

It is great for the first 2 episodes. The characters are just unrelatable and the acting is basic. The story is hard to believe, since everyone is acting like a teenager. It seems like everyone have some dark trauma, but they don't manage to make you feel any empathy.

Not sure if I am getting this right, but being European, this is not about poliitics for me. The plot is pretty good and there are some good lines intertwining, so far so good. The fairytale part I dont really see in other than hints, but they are subtle and not that clear. Still I like it a lot.

Season 1 had interesting plot and each character's story was thrilling to watch. Character development was on point and, unlike second season, it actually had own style. The second season does not have that dark atmosphere, the plot twists are either ridiculous or nowhere to be found. Characters are poorly written and their stories are average at best. Season 2 is just full of potboiler. But I'm still looking forward to seeing more seasons.

The synopsis on imdb is what got me interested initially, so far I'm not clear where this show is going, but there's clearly a buildup, the characters have been established and been given some depth (as much as you can get in 2 episodes), now it's time for some plot developments, let's see if they deliver. This might become really interesting and I'm sad to see so many bad ratings this early, hope this show gets a chance. As with almost every show these days some people call it overpoliticized because they can't differentiate between a character's believes/views and a show telling you what to believe. The latter is not the case here.
