Once Upon a time ...there was snow white trapped in time and prince charming was in coma...

Ok so a couple of episodes rolled in some of my A list series are already in hiatus and sadly enough will only come back in January, while others will stick around for a couple of rounds more like " Once Upon A Time" that had a late start in the fall season.

Once Upon A Time has a new take on the classic farytales with a blend of real world thanks to a curse made by the Evil Queen, making all the classic farytales that we know forget who they were and be forced to leave in the real world without happy endings , now guess who is the only hope. ??? Prince Charming and Snow White 28 years old daughter , ow yes I know, did they have a kid? In this classy series yes , and she is the saviour bringing back time to Storybrook and making the time roll!

At this moment the serie is at episode 4, and we were introduced to some of the main character and some alternate stories to the classics were presented as the last one about Cinderella having her fairy godmother getting killed by Rumpelstiltskin and pregnant of a runaway prince!!!

A totally brave choice in my opinion taking the risk to update the stories with our reality!
It's amazing how much they accomplished in terms of technical aspects, each episode has an enormous number o special effects and an amazing use of the green screen ( come on let's consider the craziness of building actual sets for each castle and ballroom) and I would be lying if I said the first time I saw the trailer I didn't think it was a movie, it looks quite a bit like a movie and the stories arcs and references to the farytales on the real world are quite strong and nice to pick up !!!

I don't even have to go into the actors land, cos they have an amazing cast just to name few Ginnifer Goodwin, Jennifer Morrison, the adorable Jared Gilmore, Robert Carlyle, Lana Parrilla... Once Upon A Time airs on Sundays 8/7c on ABC.
