It's kind of serialized and has a lot of storylines in it, and it jumps around in time and between worlds a lot, so it's probably best to watch it from the beginning. I think it would make pretty good binge watching.
EDIT: Okay, I just clicked on "View full episode", and it wanted me to pay $1.99 USD to watch. But still, I think this playlist might be a good way for anyone who isn't sure whether to invest the time to watch the series to decide if they want to.
EDIT#2: Upon farther studying this playlist, it looks like the poster gives you a teaser in high-def, and then gives you the option whether to watch the full episode, in HD no less. But it costs $1.99 USD from whatever site he's trying to promote. Still, I think the playlist might be a good intro to the series for the undecided.

OMG - AWESOME! She's the heroine from "Brave", a Disney/Pixar film which I have seen, but did not remember the protagonist's name! She is a female heroine living in a male-dominated VIking-like society and bucking the norms for female heroines everywhere.
I do remember that I had a violin student who told me that "Merida" was her heroine, and had inspired her in her real life!
EDIT: Maybe you'd better watch "Brave" as "preparation" for this season, hmm?
I am currently trying to make my way through season one of Grimm. It's OK fair as far as it goes, but after binge watching 9 seasons of Supernatural, I find it a bit wanting on a lot of levels. After I get through season 1, I will decide if I go on from there or switch to OUaT.
I liked Once Upon a Time in Wonderland better than the original Once Upon a Time.
*runs*
I really liked it up until the end. I enjoyed Regina's new good-guy-with-attitude role, Hook and Henry messing up, Swan battling her inner darkness, and of course I loved Merida. I also like that they're going into Arthurian legend, as it's one of my favorite stories and less Disney-fied.
Aaaaaand then the ending happened. Really? We're doing the "Let's find out what happened after everyone loses their memories!" thing again? *sigh*
There is some precedent for the direction they've chosen in Arthurian legends - in many versions, Arthur turns dark after discovering Guinevere's and Lancelot's affair. The older legends were grittier, darker, and more violent than the romanticized more recent versions of them.
The same sort of thing happened with the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm. Those stories were originally graphically violent horror stories meant to frighten children into behaving and staying safe. Our more modern versions of the tales have sanitized them, romanticized them, and given them all happy endings that the originals sometimes didn't have.
I was disappointed that Violet's rejection of Henry turned out to be a fabrication. It would have been much more interesting for her character if she were just not interested in him.
I miss awesome Rumpel, personally. I don't like it when he's a coward, and I hope it doesn't take much longer for him to get his backbone.
