I have mixed feelings about Season 1. I thought the whole story arc about Emma breaking the curse nearly fell apart due to centric episodes that had nothing to do with the main story, the "let's frame Mary Margaret for murder" story arc, and some questionable writing that was used to keep Emma in Storybrooke and/or out of jail.

I enjoyed Season 2 up to "Welcome to Storybrooke". I don't really care for the last five episodes of that particular season.

I actually liked most of the Neverland arc, aside from two or three. But. . . I didn't care for the gloomy setting of Neverland.

I also liked Zelena's arc for Season 3B. But it didn't last very long. And I'm not a big fan of the Season 3 finale in which Emma had decided to change the timeline. She has never really faced up to the fact that what she had done was dangerous and stupid.

I did not like the "Frozen" story arc of Season 4A. Enough said. As for Season 4B, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed how Rumpel tried to use "the Queens of Darkness" to drive Emma to embrace evil. But. . . I wish Emma had become "the Dark One" without that ridiculous sacrifice nonsense in the Season finale. By allowing her to become "the Dark One" via a dangerous or morally questionable act, I believe her character would have been more interesting.
