I'm on the fence about AHS and Walking Dead, but I also never watch them at night and certainly not before bed. Usually on the weekends and during the day - with sunlight spreading into the room. Which makes Dead really hard to see - it's so dark.
I'm admittedly at a point in my life in which dark and excessively violent shows appeal less and less to me...I don't know why.
On OUAT - I agree, it's very unpredictable. No clue what they'll do next or where they will take the series. I knew Ella made a deal with Rumple to get to the ball, but I didn't know he killed her fairy godmother. He literally changed Ella's story.
Some of the actors are a bit on the weak side, and it is a very female centric/female cast heavy series. While we have recurring male characters - outside of the little boy, they seem to be supporting. Also, the choice to make Emma - the free will character - female and a bail bondsman, is quite interesting and innovative. In most versions - the protagonist is male - see Willingham's Jack of Fables, Grimm, Supernatural, etc. Although that was a wise choice - it works better.
I just love this little series. And it is doing very well in the ratings. Still within the top 20, about 12 last week. Holding Steady. Beating its competition. So no worries about cancellation any time soon - it got a full-season pick-up right out of the box.
Oh, last night's episode was directed by David Solomon (Buffy, Angel, Firefly, etc...director).
