What’s Working (and Not) with Once Upon a Time
What’s Working: Once seemed primed to fall trap to a classic TV Season 2 problem — adding too many new characters. However, the much-ballyhooed introductions of beloved characters like Hook and Mulan have been seamless in the midst of doling out answers to fans’ burning questions.
What’s Not: The only dip came this last week when the focus was put squarely on Red. She’s good in small doses, but slowed down the narrative considerably. Next!
Grade: A- As long as this show keeps embracing its fantasy roots, as well as its funny bone, the sky’s the limit.
