Sleepy Hollow

Seasons 1 & 2 are awesome. Great cast, great writing.

The Season 3 cast and writing is a huge down grade. About halfway through Season 3 it becomes almost unwatchable.

Thus show started great but went off track like all others do. Icabod wasn't Icabod long he became to modern to fast and the show like charmed, in my opinion went way off track I lost interest quickly.

As soon as I heard about this new show, I marked it in my phone to remind myself to watch it. As a big fan of the supernatural, I was looking forward to this for a few months now. As a heads up, if you go into this expecting something serious and believable, well, just walk away now. It's meant to be entertaining, and boy is it ever. I thought this show was going to revolve around strictly the headless horseman..but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that there's more involved, such as demons and whatnot. And as a huge fan of demonic movies such as Insidious and Sinister, I am now really looking forward to where this show takes us. I don't expect it to win any Emmy's or anything, but if you're bored on a Monday night, this is more than good enough to fill an hour out for you.

Its witty , funny, fast paced and the action scenes are quite impressive and it does share the same pace and chemistry as the Tim Burton movie. It seems to be going the way of the X files complete with their own version of Deputy director Skinner ( Orlando Jones) and a plot leaning toward a conspiracy that not only threatens the town of Sleepy Hollow but the entire world. The problem with this series may lie with the limitations it seems to be setting on itself by drawing a lot of reference to the Bible. Is there going to be a connection to the Illuminati? There is a lot material that could be explored and the two main characters in Officer Abbie and Ichabad Crane seem to have a lot of questions surrounding them which is a good thing because it gives us the rest of the season to explore. Now with the way the horseman's appetite for heads is going it is safe to say that everyone except the two main characters are going to be expendable (yet another parallel to X files). I for one would like to see how far this series can go.

I just watched the pilot of Sleepy Hollow and was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed it, I like the modern reboot of this classic story. I like the way they have taken the era in which the original Washington Irving story takes place, which gives a nod to the man and story itself and skillfully brings it into the modern day.

Sleepy Hollow blends in elements of magic, horror and mystery. The production values are great, the casting and acting also spot on and I love the creative license they have taken with the story. It's crazy, fun and full of surprises. One of which I really like, is the apocalyptic angle. I also really like the supernatural aspect of it, I'd love to go into more detail, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched it yet.

I'm glad to see the networks finally embracing genres like horror -"The Walking Dead" is a great example of how, if done well, and taken seriously, a genre TV show can be a big hit with a large demographic. I'm certain I'm not alone in being over the so called "reality TV" which is neither reality nor proper TV. I'm also sick and tired of the endless cop procedural's that seem to dominate network TV. It's time for new ideas, even if they come from old stories.

If they keep up the good writing, develop the characters properly, keep high production values and hold onto the show runner for more than one season without replacing them, I can easily see this show be a success.
