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.
Featured reviews
I must say that the first 4 seasons captivated me, but I know that everyone has felt like the series was losing quality consistently, if the fifth season was bad, zero creativity and banal clichés, the sixth was worse, forced and repetitive without taking advantage of the characters or history, a shame, but this seventh season is a mockery, a story mediocre, absurd and absurd, the casting is incomprehensible, and what but what they have done with the old characters have destroyed their performance. Sad way to end a series that started well. Not worth wasting time watching this mediocrity. Goodbye Unce upon a time.
I have to say when I started watching I thought it was a bit different and pretty fun, and for 4 seasons it was. Season 5 however was the turning point.
Season 5 was a mess, a drawn out convoluted mess, and it just stopped being fun. It was downhill from there, and season 7 is just a different, inferior show sadly.

I realy liked the first 6 seasons, but i simply do not understand why they made a 7th season. Wich does not even have a original start...
If you can't think of something new, just don't make a new season then.
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!!
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.
