Once Upon a Time (2011)
Unique look at our favorite fairy tales.
Together with Grimm this is one of the two shows, which has the bravery to try and change the perception of our favorite fairy tales.
In all the stories from our childhood the characters are one- dimensional. From the very beginning to the end they solely follow the order of the side they have chosen - good or evil and most of them- without an explanation or a reasoning.
However- the characters of this show- have dept. They didn't became evil on a whim or remained good just because, but they are like that based on their own believes and experiences in life. Slowly we find ourselves becoming to fall in love with a purely evil personages like The Evil Queen, Captain Hook and Rumplestiltskin as we came to know the tragedies in their past and their sincere scares, hopes and worries. Sometimes we even start to question the goodness of the so called "good", yet so annoyingly self-righteous heroes and heroines like the Prince Charming and Snow White.
I love this show, because it has the bravery to create human beings from sheets of paper and changes the way we perceive them.
