1. Season 1: Absolute favourite. Great introduction to the show. Loved all the characters and storylines. I especially liked the fact that there were centrics on the minor characters as well, without it bring totally intertwined with a major character(Rumple/Regina/Snow/Charming).

2. Season 3a: The focus was on the main characters, but all the main characters got story development. And there was Captain Swan :P I liked Neverland and Pan, up until they revealed that he was Rumple's dad. That was one plot twist I didn't like.

3. Season 3b: It was a great arc for character development, especially for Regina. Robin-Regina storyline was rushed but enjoyable. Loved Zelena as a villain. Emma took a few steps back from where 3a left her, but after a year of leading a normal life, quite understandable, and yeah, she came out of it even better. And Killian and Regina officially went team hero. Loved the finale.

4. Season 2: Picked up well from where s1 left, but had a few downpoints to it. Loved Cora and her storyline. Most characters were consistent. Didn't like Neal, and not just because I'd rather watch CS. He was damn annoying towards the later episodes. Didn't like the entire Greg-Tamara storyline.

5. Season 4a: This is where everything went downhill. Characters suddenly became one dimensional, some things were repititive, and there was too much disney. I liked the Frozen characters, but there is a limit to references. Otherwise, I loved Ingrid. Characters were more or less consistent, but zero to negative development.

5. Season 5b: It had its highs and lows. The overall arc was good. Some episodes could be better, especially Sisters, while some were quite good. Robin's murder was unnecessary except to bring out the Evil Queen in Regina, and so was bringing Pan in for a few pointless scenes. Also, there was no sense or logic behind who goes to better place or worse place. Even in death, minor characters are total victims of plot. Finale was more of an intro to s6 than an ending to s5, and didn't have the finale vibes.

6. Season 5a: The idea of Dark Swan and the initial episodes were intriguing, but they screwed it up big time. Dark Hook was another level of a bad idea. Add to that a few pointless episodes of the Disney cameo of the year, and you have a quite disappointing season. It had a few good scenes and storylines, but overall not so good.

7. Season 4b: The worst of them all. Suddenly went too black and white in terms of considering people hero/villain, then turned the pure white couple of the show into quite a dark shade of grey. Basically, totally butchered them. I really didn't like the too much emphasis on being a hero or a villain. The author aspect was started well, but then they introduced a d-bag and said he had the ultimate power to control everyones' lives. The finale was better than rest of the season, but not one of the best finales either.
