The backstories on Once Upon a Time continue to become more complex (confusing?) but enough viewers are willing to stick with it for ABC to want to renew the series for a fifth season.
Once Upon a Time follows the continuing adventures of fairytale characters who switch between their storybook world and Storybrooke, a small town in Maine. The ensemble cast includes Jennifer Morrison, Lana Parrilla, Ginnifer Goodwin, Josh Dallas, Robert Carlyle, Colin O’Donoghue, Emile de Ravin, Jared S. Gilmore, and Michael Socha.
This season, Once Upon a Time’s ratings saw a nice boost thanks to a vist from the characters from the animated Frozen musical film. The season’s averging a 2.21 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.66 million viewers. Season-to-season that’s down by about 6% in total viewership.
What do you think? Do you still like the Once Upon a Time series? Do you find the storylines/backstories confusing? Should this be the final year, even if the ratings hold up?
I was an avid watcher the first couple of seasons but something happened and I got behind and things weren’t making sense anymore. I enjoyed figuring out how the fairytale were different from what I had read as a kid. I even went out and bought Grimm’s Fairytales! If I could catch up I would definitely still be watching.
I say keep it on. It is worthy of Binge watching on Netflix. We all want to know what will happen next. It cannot just end without a finale. So glad I can watch without commercials or having to wait each week. I am sure Netflix has the data to support the binge nature of the series and the people who have watched it.
I am a 58 year old male,have.watched once upond a time,since the pliot. This has become my favorite program. Only show on,that i will not miss. I have made my wife mad at me several times in the past,cuz of plans she had made for a sunday night,and i wont leave the house to miss the show. Hads a great storyline,only one thing i wish they would do is to keep to the old storybook ,insteed of bring in those like from frozen. Keep up the good writing. Cant wait for new season to begin.
