I really do like it. They actually went with something new and unique instead of the usual "ohh we lost our memories! Who cursed us now?" Plot. I like how they're focusing on other characters besides Emma and Killian, which imo, there has been too much of in 5a. It's sad to see so many people disliking this plot line. I think it's great!

Truth be told I kinda feel like the show has lost the spark it had in the first 3 seasons but I still love it & 5B seems great so far, while I found 5A completely disappointing.
I was expecting the darkSwan storyline to be one of the most interesting ones on the whole show but I felt like everything has poorly handled and so much wasted potential.

I love all three episodes of 5B so far and it's so great how every episode is focusing in one of the main characters - who were like completely forgotten the first half of the season! - ,I hope it continues that way. Plus, the Underworld storyline and how they are touching Greek mythology so far is really interesting.
I have to wait and see how the whole plot will play out before I judge but from what I've seen so far, I do love it!

Tbh I haven't seen any of 5B yet, except the Cora clips which I watched on YouTube. I just haven't been motivated because I've grown rather tired of everything being centered around Hook and Captain Swan. But I've been hearing that 5B is an improvement from 5A in that regards, so I think I will eventually catch up.

I like it a lot but seasons 1-3 are still better in my opinion.
