ONCE UPON A TIME on ABC is TV series about what happens AFTER Snow White marries Prince Charming produced by J.J. Abrams of LOST fame.
Snow White played by Ginnfer Goodwin is awakened by Prince Charming from her slumber of death by his kiss. At their wedding Snow's stepmother the Evil Queen puts a curse that she will take away their happiness like Snow took hers. Snow sends her daughter Emma away with the advice of Rumplestilskin.
Fast forward to present day Henry goes to Boston, shows up on Emma Swan's doorstep, claiming to be her son she gave up for adoption. Emma drives Henry back to Storybook Maine where he tells her all the townspeople are storybook characters they just don't remember because of the curse put on by the Evil Queen aka his adoptive mother.
Interesting right?! Think Desperate Housewives meets Lost. There are so many SMART (not confusing) twists and turns you can't figure it out...and you don't want to. It's a show you wish was 24 hours long so you could continiously watch.
My only fear is that it will go the way of his other shows. LOST, FELICITY, and ALIAS all suffered greatly after season 3. Season 4 of each series BOMBED ROYALLY! Here's hoping he stops this show after season 3 OR figures out a way to NOT suck.
If there is a show to take the place of DH once it's off the air it's this show. It's definitely a sleeper as few people know about it. When they do I have a feeling Lana Parrilla whom plays the Evil Queen will EXPLODE!
Why I say that is she was in the little seen TV show called WINDFALL with Luke Perry about a group of lottery winners. She was good but meh. This is her first real starring role. I predict during the life of the show she'll be nominated for and/or win a Primetime Emmy. The most evil character in TV history TRUST ME!
Please watch this show. If you want to be entertained intelligently you will :)
