Once Upon a Time...

... is really growing on me. I love the cast. Robert Carlyle is awesome as Rumpelstilzkin. The evil mayor is terriffic, too. Good bad guys go a long way. :) But I like the other characters, too, particularly Emma.
I just hope the showrunners won't stick to the storybook-character-of-the-week format forever. Once they have all their ducks in a row, they can start on slightly more intricate storylines...
If I had to choose between Grimm and Once Upon a Time, I'd probably go with the latter right now. Doesn't mean that I don't like Grimm. I enjoyed all the episodes that aired so far. The Blutbad is an interesting character, but we need to see more of him - so far he's a bit like a deus ex machina on legs, i.e. useful but quickly shuffled off-screen, once he's done his supernatural bit. It will be interesting to see how the format develops... One thing is not good about Grimm, though. For the life of me, I cannot remember a single character name. After 4 epis that's not a good sign. ( I do remember the weird German though. "Blutbaden" bwahaaa)
Anyway, I'm just glad that there are a few shows out there that I enjoy. :-)
