Once Upon a Time is a new series that revolves around a detective, Emma Swan, whose life gets flipped upside down when the son she put up for adoption at birth returns to her unexpectedly and introduces her to his hometown- Storybooke. In this series, everybody that resides in Storybooke is a “fictional” character from a fairy tale who was cursed by the evil Queen to be sent into a magic-less world a.k.a Earth.

The first season revolves around Emma discovering the truth about Storybooke and accepting the far-out truth. Although it’s extremely unrealistic, the modern-day twists to our favorite fairy tales are appealing to anybody who may have an interest in magical folktales. The series includes action, comedy and tragedy; I would give the series two thumbs up. I do not recommend it to anyone who is looking for an average crime show, but I would definitely suggest it to any action or folk tale fans out there.
