Negative Positive
Title: The conflict is artificial
Review: even though it is set in a fairytale genere, I feel like the relationships between the characters is fake and forced. Rumplstiltskin is genuine and believable evil. The others are tiresome. I wish they weren't. I wish I liked this show. It has everything going for it... and yet, it misses the authentic struggle to make it truly great. Merlin is an example of how silly premises can still hold real emotional value. Those characters are connecting in an authentic way. Maybe Once Upon A Time will get better in time. Merlin did.
