I don’t find OuaT hard to follow at all, but maybe that’s because I’m very familiar with the fairytale stories it features. My parents watch the show too, and I’m having to constantly explain things to them…especially mom who didn’t watch the first season- she just had us fill her in. I keep telling her to go back and watch it, but she doesn’t want to. 🙄
One time I was saying something to her about Neal, and she said “Who’s Neal? Remember, I didn’t see the first season,” and I was like “Uhh…mom…Neal was introduced in the 2nd season….”
