phynckeOnce Upon a Time(2011-2012)
Adaptation of classic fairy tales
ABC
Summary:
Fairy tale characters are stranded in the town of Story Brook by the evil queen. Can Emma Swan save them?
I am writing this review as I sit here watching my DVR of the season finale. This is an amazing episode - action packed, culmination, tense, on the edge of my seat. I have been faithfully following this series each week and really enjoying how they unveil their adaptation and interpretation of the classic fairy tales. There is even one Alice in Wonderland character in a cross-over sort of thing. Lots of license taken in this show as it pushes the boundaries of fantasy and story telling. Each episode builds the story so you really have to watch from the first to understand it. Start from the beginning and watch it unfold. It is like reading a very well written story...with themes and story lines that intersect.
Really good television. Like, the best!
