So I don't watch TV much; I've probably averaged around 20 hours
or less of TV per year for the last eight years, and I don't think a
lot more than that for the prior several years either (perhaps 50
hours per year). Since marrying two years ago, I've watched a few
shows of Psych and CSI with my wife when she watches them, and
occasionally see short pieces of the shows while she has them on. Or
I see pieces of movies (I don't remember Disney movies very well it
seems) while I'm in the waiting area for pregnancy appointments or
baby appointments (we have one baby with two more coming very soon,
and I've gone to almost every one of these appointments).
Recently however, my wife and I moved into a new house and
eventually checked out the DVR, which was set to record Once Upon a
Time shows. We let ourselves get “hooked” on season 3 (the one
they just finished that involves Neverland). This week, we decided
to finish the last two episodes of the season that we hadn't seen
yet, so now we've watched the entire season (around ten or so
espisodes).
My thoughts on the show, or season 3, are that it's
quite interesting, pretty creative, and a bit dark. I particularly
noted the dark aspect when watching one of the first shows in the
season while my baby, who was nearby playing, started to cry, I'm
pretty certain because of the “dark music.” There certainly was
a dark aspect about it; it comes with trying to represent the
darkness. That dark aspect made me question if we should really be
watching the series, if it was deceptively harmful, but I decided it
was OK. Perhaps my curiosity got the best of me; I didn't spend too
much time worrying about it because it did not seem to be harmful to
me.
What I like about it are the creativity and ideas, and that it
gives my wife and me some interesting things or ideas to talk
together about. What if this, or what if that? How would that work,
or how do you think that will work? It seems like...
