Once Upon A Time

I have become completely sucked in to the ABC show, Once Upon A Time. It is the most magnificent and imaginative show on ABC since the dearly missed Pushing Daisies. The premise is this: tough bounty hunter Emma Swan gets a visit from the son she gave up years ago. He claims that the town that he came from, Storybrooke, Maine, is in fact a long last magical kingdom. He says that his adoptive mother, Regina Mills, is an evil queen who put a curse on all of the residents of this magical land to make them forget who they really are. Emma is skeptical at first, but when she takes Henry, her son, home, weird things start happening. It's a new and different twist on the old fairy tales that we have all come to know so well.
Every person in Storybrooke has a fairytale counterpart. Some of them you'll discover right off, and others are harder to determine. This is a show that was very promising from the beginning, but it just keeps getting better and better as it goes on.
The cast is stellar and every character(even the evil ones) is compelling and multi-layered. I look forward to seeing what else this show has in store for the viewers.

  1. I love this show too! I'm glad viewers are giving it a chance and the ratings are promising enough for a second season.
