Once Upon a Time

Okay, just finished watching it.
On the fence about it so far.

For the most part, the acting was good. Really enjoyed Jennifer Morrison.

But the kid bugged the hell out of me. His only purpose was to explain the plot while Emma listened and occasionally told him he was crazy. And, since he was in a lot of it (the plot needed lots of explaining), I was annoyed quite a bit of the time.

Hopefully now that the audience is up to speed on what is going on, there will be less of that.

Also curious how this will do for a full season and keep up this interesting premise.

I have the same concern. I could see this doing well as a mini-series, but as a regular show? Not so much.
