Once Upon a Time season 8 review: A brave season

By Matheus Ribeiro

If I could describe this season in one word, it would be BRAVE. This is possibly the only word that can describe it. New showrunner Colton M. made brave decisions that, happily, only helped the season and it's solid plot. Odette Annable's Victoria/Queen of Hearts was an amazing addition to the plot. You also did an awesome work with some characters, like Gideon, Alice, Robin, Tiana, Chad, Drizella, Lily and August. Talking about brave choices, I'd like to highlight three of them. One that I loved, one that I disagreed, and one that surprised me: I really enjoyed the idea of Victoria having a child with cursed Hook, because OUAT never really showed the consequences of their cursed lives. I was also pretty surprised with the fact that Jack and Gideon were true love. A positive surprise, to be honest. While one brave choice that didn't got convinced was Ruby leaving Dorothy for Mulan. It felt random, in my opinion, and was one of the only negative points of the season overall. While the first half of the season showed us an awesome storyline, he second half of the season had a major improvement from the first one, and showed us an even better storyline. And the cliffhanger was really smart, curious, and again, brave, and I'm looking forward to see what's in store for season 9

FINAL GRADE: 4,0/5,0
