As someone who watched all 7 seasons it was pretty good up to season 3. The revelation that Balefire was Henry’s father was f*cking mind blowing. Season 7 is just a rehash of season 1 idk why that ever existed.

I stopped watching after she broke up with Balefire and chose Hook. The show just wasn't the same anymore. Once Upon A Time is supposed to have true love from the beginning none of that kid by you and be with some one else stuff that we all live in regular life. It was supposed to be a fairy tale. I only caught it a few times after that and read a summary once, but it never drew me back.

I watched this in real time-- having just graduated college and my mind was in a place where I was hopeful, experiencing the real world, trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life... And I had lots of time on my hands. It was truly an incredible journey and I stopped watching at the end of season 6-- when Henry rode off into the portal. I tried watching some episodes of season 7, but as soon as I saw Regina as a barkeeper, I just couldn't follow. I'm thankful for this recap, as it brought back so many awesome, nostalgic memories. And it was a cool run-down of a seemingly-hectic season 7. Maybe I'll re-watch the seasons including season 7 in a future timeline but the comments below really foster such a Love from hearing how much everyone else enjoyed this series! I'll always remember the Vancouver Sun's article hyping up the Series Premiere of this and I'm so glad I gave it a go. I also got my cousins to give the show a try and we all loved it! :)

I would argue OUAT suffered the same fate most great television series do. The first season did a great job of laying the foundation and establishing the world and characters. The next season or two did a great job of expanding that world. But inevitably the series started to wander and drift. This usually happens around season three or four in a series. But they pulled it together and wrote a great finale. The problem is they didn’t stop there. There was no need for a season seven. None. And the only good that really came from it was we got to see Regina crowned queen of the land and Emma and Hook’s baby was there. That last scene was beautiful but completely unnecessary.

Season 1 was great and feels like a completely different show from the rest. I always thought they should have kept the characters under Regina’s spell for a bit longer than one season. Once they all regained their memories, the show became a convoluted, weird, flaming pile of messy garbage😂 I liked a couple of things from seasons 2 and 3 (Neil/Baelfire being Henry’s dad & Pan being a villain), but it truly became unbearable after they brought back Zelena and made Rumple evil…again. He was worse than before. They made the heroes insufferable, put Regina through the exact same storyline over and over and over again, ignored all the original side characters and storylines, and forced in creepy and disturbing ones. My sister and I used to sit and discuss this show for hours, talking about how terrible it was. OUAT is truly one of the best examples of everything you shouldn’t do if you want a good, cohesive story.

The low points of this show were really bad though. The whole Cruella, Maleficent, and Ursula storyline was awful and while season 7 was completely unnecessary, I do feel it was a good season. The show should've ended with season 6 and not end the season with that scene that made season 7 happen.

Once Upon a Time is one of the most creative series I’ve ever seen, blending fantasy, drama, comedy, romance, and nostalgia beautifully. While the show initially developed relationships brilliantly, it later seemed to disregard or destroy them, like the lack of screen time for Rumple & Henry together. The inconsistent character arcs, especially in later seasons, were disappointing, although season seven brought back some intrigue. However, certain decisions like Emma’s downgrade, Neal’s death, and the absence of a meaningful Henry-Rumple relationship were hard to forgive. Overall, it’s a great series, but it’s unfortunate how beloved characters were sidelined without proper explanation
