I like it a lot. That said, it's a goner unless ABC moves it to a different night and/or gives it special treatment because they either believe in it or give a lot of leeway to a show created by the people who also gave them the original Once.

Okay, so on this episode, in addition to characters from Aladdin, we also have a Disney fairies crossover... Doesn't work here as well as OUAT...

The show is D.O.A. It's too hard pulling off a fully CGI character on a television budget. It also has questionable casting aside from Jafar. The cast is too British and the opening episode was structured very poorly for a pilot meant to introduce the series.

It's not so much that the CG is bad (which it is), it's that the writing is poor and the show is boring. They need to connect it to the OUAT universe (or at least make it interesting) or there's really no compelling reason to watch.

Yeah, I've watched two eps so far and all I can compare it to are the bad parts of OUAT.
I'm intrigued (basically because of Jafar), but the rest of the cast is wrong. The Red Queen isn't dynamic enough, the Knave of Hearts looks like a Jake Gyllenhall stand-in, and the White Rabbit... a marionette.
I'll give it a few more episodes.
