Once Upon a Time is a captivating television series that combines the magic of classic fairy tales with the modernity of the 21st century. The show is set in the picturesque town of Storybrooke, Maine, where the viewer is taken on a journey through the lives of various storybook characters who have been cursed and trapped between two worlds. This powerful curse, cast by the Evil Queen Regina Mills, has left these beloved characters without their memories, living in a perpetual state of limbo.
At the heart of the story is Emma Swan, a 28-year-old bail bonds collector who has been surviving on her own since she was abandoned as a baby. Emma's life takes an unexpected turn when her son, Henry, whom she gave up for adoption years ago, finds her and pleads for her help. Henry, who is an avid reader of fairy tales, believes that Emma is the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, who was whisked away to the real world before she could be cursed. Emma, being a practical and logical person, initially dismisses Henry's claims as the imaginings of a child, but as she spends more time in Storybrooke, she begins to question the true nature of the town and its inhabitants.
The show's plot thickens as Emma grapples with the idea that she might be the savior of Storybrooke and the only one who can break the curse. Jennifer Morrison, who plays Emma Swan, delivers a compelling performance as a strong and independent woman who is forced to confront her past and embrace her destiny. Lana Parrilla, who plays the Evil Queen Regina Mills, is equally impressive as the complex and multi-faceted villain who is both feared and respected by the people of Storybrooke. Once Upon a Time is a must-watch for anyone who loves fairy tales, adventure, and a healthy dose of mystery and intrigue.
Ran for 8 seasons.
