I mean, it was a great concept and I liked that we get a cool fantasy-background for the different characters, tieing the flashbacks and the main plot of the episode.
But the series had a few issues from the beginning. I´d say the show jumped the shark in the fifth season – the moment would either be Mr. Gold revealing he´s totally the Dark One again (sigh) or Hook being allowed by Zeus to return to life despite we´re being told that is totally impossible but yeah, we need Hook (sigh). That is when some of the issues – screwing up character developing and making death more and more meaningless were brought in ridicolous spaces. And more and more stupid plots followed.
