On five and it's digital channels they are plugging it in every ad break.

Just watched the pilot again on Channel 5. Absolutely amazing. Here's hoping it started off well in the ratings!

Great opening episode, found it a bit ropey in places, hopefully it picks up along the way.

I enjoyed it, hope it does well despite being on Five, they have done a great job with promotion though. So hopefully it will get 1.5m-2m viewers.

I've been watching the show US pace and I really like it, sadly the show does need to be regular, putting an episode on, then having 3 weeks off is not a good idea.

 

 

and I'm really anticipating this episode where we learn what Snow did to Regina to make her dislike her. I feel they've been banging on about it for yoinks!

 

Once Upon a Time debuted with a strong audience in the UK last night (April 1).

 

The US drama, heavily promoted by Channel 5, pulled in 2.01m (8.3%) at 8pm and 228k (0.9%) an hour later on +1.

 

Great news for the channel, it seems the promotion paid off. :D

Lovely, that's good for them! Let's hope it continues.

I'm glad it got good ratings in UK. I remember a few years ago a lot of the terrestrial channels went through the phase of igoring US import dramas. The success of Glee, Homeland, and now Once Upon A Time shows that there's definitely still a market for them.

I love this show! I was unsure for a little while, but even though there's still the story within a story feature each week, there's a larger plot finally starting to formulate. I am so excited to see where they take it in the finale and next season.

 

It's pulled ahead of Grimm for me now :D

Anyone else watching this?

 

I've almost finished the first season. Addictive show.

 

Season two is set to air in the US on 30/09/2012

I saw the promos for this and I thought it looked atrocious, is it actually any good? I might give it a try.

This moved into the 'incredible incredible incredible' show category.

 

Doing the last bits of catching up. It's so 'Lost 2.0' I can't even!

Indeed, the first episode of S2 was head and shoulders above everything from S1.

I like it more now that they all remember. Can't wait for what's in store this season.

That final scene! *.*

I dunno. I find the first episode of season deux not as great as everyone makes it seem to be :(

I think it's more to do with lowered expectations from this show than anything else. I mean, I enjoyed S1, but bar the last 6/7 episodes it was filler central.

Those flashbacks are essential! (Especially the Jiminy Cricket one - he's like the central figure in the whole thing :angry: ). It was also really nice to see Regina good. I mean she automatically became my favourite character after that episode. Amazing bitch.

Glad Regina's got her powers back, might make for some more interesting turn of events
