Don't have a problem here, it's beautifully shot and the production and costume design are both handsome and atmospheric without being drab or garish. Have very rarely had fault with the production values, except with the hit and miss special effects. However there are a lot of good things here in "Murder Most Foul". While coming over as clearer structurally, and not trying to do as much as most of the previous episodes of the season, "Murder Most Foul" still is occasionally rushed and could have done a little less with the two main subplots being done well individually but feeling a little too much of two different episodes. Some of the writing is on the campy and corny side, though the melodrama is significantly less and generally this aspect has improved. A few drawbacks here, though not as seriously as most episodes of the first half of Season 6. "Tougher than the Rest" fared better and the season became fresher than what came before it, "Murder Most Foul" continues this. It seemed like the show had run out of ideas and was losing magic with a lot of predictability, repetition and recycling old ideas without putting enough of a fresh spin on it. Was intrigued but also mixed on "Strange Cases", which had a lot of great things, while having some serious misgivings, otherwise other than "I'll Be Your Mirror" the rest of the first half of the sixth season disappointed. The first three episodes of Season 6 were very good to great. It did run out of ideas and lost its magic in the later seasons (especially Season 7, though the inconsistency started with the second half of the Underworld arc of the second half of Season 5). Watched it without fail everytime it came on. The idea of turning fairy tales on their heads was a fascinating one and putting own interpretations on them and the show early on clearly had a ball. 'Once Upon a Time' was highly addictive when it first started and made the most of a truly great and creative premise.
