Title: "Sleepy Hollow" - tv series
Post by: Rico on September 17, 2013, 04:13:04 PM
I watched the first episode.  Cool series.  Much deeper than I thought it would be.  Kind of a spooky "X Files" vibe to it.  Definitely going to keep watching.

yeah, it wasn't at all what I expected.  We'll keep an eye on it too.

I finished watching it, I liked it as well. Was not expecting the angle they took, but I think it will make for a full story going forward. The ending gave me the creeps.

So, anyone been keeping up with this series?  I've really enjoyed it.  Just watched the 2 hr season finale - really great (lots of big things happened).  They only filmed a short season but it will return next fall for a second season.  Catch up on this one, it's terrific!

This is our new "back burner" binge show. Clearly, I have a twisted sense of humor.

First, the sherrif, portrayed by: Clancy Brown. [spoiler]The Kurgen. From Highlander. Makes his decapitation that much more... Fitting? [/spoiler] Somehow appeases my Libra sense of justice.

Also, the Equestrian Crossing sign: [spoiler]cut such that the rider lost their head.[/spoiler] Absolutely hysterical.

Or am I the only one who sees these things as humorous?

It's a really cool and fun series. The actors are all excellent.

I gather is based on the headless horseman tales and Ichabod Crane?

Somewhat - yes.  But it's much, much more than that.

I'm only halfway through the first season, but (so far) it's a really interesting take on the supernatural-fighting team. And an occasionally dark and twisted sense of humour. All the little history lessons and anachronisms with Ichabod are pretty entertaining, too.

If you haven't watched it yet, stick with it at least until the nature of the horseman is revealed. It's a wild ride.

BTW, Orlando Jones is incredible in this. I'm used to his comedy work, but this is a cut above.

Is there a Tricia Helfer equivalent?  I need some motivation to watch here..

As with most shows on TV, there are plenty of attractive ladies on "Sleepy Hollow."
