As for critics, There are some who gives negative criticism when it’s due such as Lily from tv.com, Jenn from Bustle, Meredith from IO9, the podcast in here and Shark Jumping podcast. Lindsay Ellis aka Nostalgia chick said she thinks the show is bad as well.
The thing is most of these, at least Lily, Jenn, Meredith if im not mistaken, criticize bc they dont do SQ, their reviews are very biased, they tend to erase some things that happened in past seasons, their reviews are always saying that Regina and Emma feel something for each other,they dont hide why they think the show sucks, it sucks bc no SQ, so yeah, for me those media are just like the Cs biased writers, they dont criticize bc they think the show is bad, is all about ships, also most of those doesnt even get to the fandom, only to the SQ part of it, if they were neutral why the show sucks i would accept, they are just like Leanne( a CS fangirl), podcasts are very good and all, but dont get most people, obvious the fandom will just call them haters, and the people related to OUAT dont care about podcast made for fans to fans, they want the media that gets most viewers that dont know the reality of fandom, or like EW that GA can get the magazine at home,
"I offended you with my opinion? Ha, you should hear the ones I keep to myself".
