Once Upon a Time

One of the many series that deal with children book´s stories. I had read an excellent review at the beginning of the year, and another one on the day it was premiered in Latin America. I was a little bit curious about how it would be; I had started watching Grimm, but never made it past the first episode because my mother didn´t like it and of course, didn´t catch up so I finally gave it up altogether.
The real issue was that at the same time, another channel was showing CSI: NY and well, I´ve been following that show since it started (I think I might have lost a couple of episodes), but then I saw that it was a rerun, so I switched channels for good.
I watched the first episode and I simply connected with it. So, it started with Snow White and her prince and then, the twist of the story (won´t tell you so that you look at it too, if you haven´t already) was the contrast with real life parallel. I thought it was really good that they stood by the essentials, but I could see that it wasn´t exactly like them...I mean, the idea of looking through personal issues that these characters might have been through before they became a legend, seems pretty interesting.
And well, caught a glimpse of the next episode and definitely going to see it again. I can always watch CSI: NY another day.
