    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Once Upon a Time' is celebrated for its inventive fairy tale re-imaginings and standout performances, especially Robert Carlyle's Rumplestiltskin. However, it faces criticism for inconsistent writing, repetitive plots, and declining quality post-initial seasons. Issues with character development, pacing, and Disney character integration are noted. Despite these flaws, many commend the show for its magical and adventurous spirit.

    Campy and Corny, But Very Underrated

    I know that some people hate this show but I love the sheer absurdity and corniness of it. Honestly, I just don't think this show is as bad as some say, and the only terrible seasons are probably four and seven. Overall, this is a very enjoyable show and it doesn't deserve all the hate it gets.

    8.3/10.

    Season 7, what a tragedy.

    It's so sad to say this but I used to really like this show, up until season 6, when things should have ended. Why did they decide to do a season 7 with the same story line as before, my brain will never understand. I despise season 7. I can't stand "Cinderella"s character or the actress. The character just seems so weak, without any motivation or attitude to live life or to act, which isn't how I pictured Cinderella. I thought she would be more rebellious and have more of a spirit. Don't even get me started on the actress - she has no acting skills, I feel like every line is improvised and the directors just went with the first shot they took. At least try to pronounce words correctly.

    So please next season - improve acting, improve story line, be a bit more original, and get some good actors, seriously !

    1-6 FAB Series 7 - not so much

    I absolutely loved series 1-6. I couldn't stop watching. I think I must have watched them all in less than a month. It took me to a land far away, and into that little fantasy world that's not reality world. BUT. I'm sad to say that series 7 is such a disappointment. I'm only on episode 6, and instead of watching it I'm writing this review. I wish I was one of these people that can give up and didn't have to watch the entire series of programmes. I'm going to pretend, after watching series 7, that they all lived happily ever after, after series 6.

    Please Let it end!

    I enjoyed the first 6 seasons immensely My Rating 10 but the current one no 7 is SOOO BAD!! My rating 3 :( Dania Ramirez looks old and like she is always in pain here we have a nearly 40 year of woman playing Hendry's Cinderella but looks more like his MOM probably double his age and looks it to :( and her acting is sub-par!! she should go back to Devious Maids where not much acting is required. I was looking forward to this now I'm just fast forwarding hoping this is a nightmare scene and we all go back to Storybrook with a Happy ending not the Disaster!!

    The first few seasons were the best!

    Seasons 1-3 were excellent! I could not stop watching. Then 4-6 came along, and I thought they were pretty decent but definitely worse than the first three. I think that the show could have just ended after season 6 but nope... They had to make a terrible 7th season

    Overall though, this show is great
