“The brilliance inherent in this series is the way each episode explores a different aspect of the overall story by telling the origin story of as storybook character and infusing elements of it into the situation in our world…Above all else this show is a character driven tale presented by one of the better ensemble cast ever assembled. Goodwin is fresh off a long stint as a sister wife on ‘Big Love’ while Morrison is familiar to television audience for her role on ‘House, M.D.’. In every case the cast is truly versatile able to successfully portray two distinct versions of the same characters. The core personalities in both worlds are always the same; the genius of the performances is in the nuances given to each depiction. Thankfully the series has been picked up for a second season.” hometheatreinfo.com
