Once Upon A Time: Captain Hook or the joys of character development

A few days ago I read an article on “character underdevelopment” on Once Upon A Time. It was a truly fascinating read, especially because I agree with a lot of what was said in the piece. The more the cast…

‘Once Upon A Time’ 5×22 &5×23 Review: “Only You” & “An Untold Story”
