I read the book in high school and loved it. Then I watched the series for years afterwards. It became a huge 'comfort movie' for me, as now I just stream all 8 hours at once and usually have it on while I'm reading or studying, or even cleaning the house. I still laugh at the trolls' antics, at how ridiculous Wolf is, and I'm still spellbound by the story itself.
People are hard on the acting levels and the cheesiness. These things don't bother me, as long as the story, scenery, music and cinematography are aligned, and they most certainly are. Of course it gets cheesy. The book is far more graphic and sexual, and they had to make this appropriate for families.
If you're wanting to get drawn into a fascinating dark fairytale story, and you've already binged Once Upon a Time (the cheese levels are equal in both shows), you'll love this.
