I started watching Once from the very first episode because I was intrigued by the thought of seeing the stories and characters I grew up with placed in a different setting. I wish I could say I was happy by what I saw, but I can’t say that. I feel like creativity could be better, and that there’s been too much death, doom, and gloom. Those reasons are what disappointed me, and because of unmet expectations, I stopped watching early S2. I jumped back in after “The Crocodile” aired. In all 100% honesty, I know Once upon A Time isn’t the Hook show, but he’s why I still watch. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be hanging on.
