Once upon a time has quite a few good actors fighting the war between good and evil while merging tales from almost every piece of fiction created (no spoilers). The one really annoying character is that of young Snow White (Bailee Madison), who is so annoying within just the first few seconds of appearing on screen you find yourself sympathizing (and possibly rooting for) her adversaries. Madison is one of the worst choices they could have made in casting for a variety of reasons (her age for one thing; her acting for another). After her first two appearances we fast forward parts with her in them just to avoid the whining and fake facial expressions.
The Snow White character in general is a little too goody-two-shoes to appeal to the audience in a real way. The character is basically always classified as a victim but the situations are self-inflicted. Frankly, casting Ginnifer Goodwin in the lead (as Snow White) only served to exacerbate the issue since she generally plays the role of a gullible millennial caught in a self-inflicted loop of victimization.
Also, please tell me why the characters all have cellphones AND 1970s rotary dial phones in every city and home on their sets? No spoilers, but really? LOL.
