Once Upon a Time - S2 - 7.5/10
I almost gave it a full 8, btw. This was better than the first one, but, of course, still not perfect. It suffered from the same flaws as S1, but it didn't have as many of them. The thing that still annoys me is how predictable the plot twists/shocking reveals are; I figure every single one out before it's revealed, usually as soon as the mystery is introduced. That can get tiring.
That being said, it's got really talented actors, enjoyable storylines and sweet romances (and I'm not a romance kind of girl) plus there's something charming (no pun intended) about the somewhat weak VFX they use. I'm not sure I can put my finger on exactly why I keep watching and enjoying it (in almost 3 seasons it has made me laugh a handful of times only and made me cry only once) but whatever it is, there's something there 🙂
