Once Upon A Time (2011- )

ABC’s new and complex series 'Once Upon a Time' unearthed latent heroine potential in many of our fairy tale damsels, Snow included. Set in the modern world, where the Evil Queen’s curse has unwittingly trapped all the Enchanted Forest characters in Storybrooke, Maine, Snow White’s daughter (played by Ginnfer Goodwin) is a bail bond agent and bounty hunter, with far more gall than you might expect of a princess.
