Sleepy Hollow on Fox

[The Josh]

While watching the first episode I was worried the horseman was going to have an appearance in every episode as the main attraction.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if they would put him in every show or not. Its nice to see an expanded universe.

I'd love to see a Sleepy Hollow series that is much truer to the original book, with the Horseman and perhaps some witches being the only supernatural elements. I wouldn't mind mentions of other creatures/demons though.

I want a long series that builds up to and really fleshes out the mystery of the Horseman. Something very slow, yet still incredibly engaging with each episode. I want to become fully immersed in that world, in that tale.

I feel that that is what's missing from most television shows today. Everything is rushed and eventually ends up being "TEH APOCALYPSE ANGELS DEMONS GODS TEH DEVIL OMG".

Supernatural for example, and this show already.

The simple and subtle story with a slow build-up just feels so much more fulfilling IMO. Not everything needs to revolve around the most important, mind-blowing events in the universe.

I still like the show though and will continue to watch it. Not bashing it at all.

I'm not sure that idea would be enough material for a whole series. Maybe a one-season thing. I like that they keep it open with this. I really enjoyed episode four, even though I find the sister sort of annoying as a character. Hopefully she'll be used sparingly.

Just see the 1st episode & I'm loving this

Thought the pilot was really stupid. Great potential, poorly executed. Dialogue and structure was awful. A lot of the acting very poor, and it ripped off, sorry.. homaged a lot of other material.
Universal had it on after Bates Motel and the difference in quality was quite staggering.

I never expected to get into this show for the quality of the acting or structured dialogue. It is purely enteraining, nice to look at, and brings me back to those supernatural shows I loved watching as I grew up.

Three eps in and I am hanging in - like the crazy sister more than the main police officer sister...

As someone who laughed at the very premise when this idea was first announced, I am proud to admit I was wrong, and this show works for me. I love the characters, and all the world building going on. I'm excited to see where it goes.

Well duh. Of course this isn't going to be as good as Bates Motel, or most other cable shows. If you were expecting it to be near that level of quality, you're retarded.

The only "poor" acting so far has been from the sister who was locked up. Everyone else has been surprisingly good IMO.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

Damn, it's on break already?! Why in the world would you not have a show like this on during Halloween season?

 

[The Josh]

Because of the Baseball World Series here in the US.

Ah, I see. Haven't followed sports since I was a kid, forgot all about it. What an unfortunate bit of timing.

 

[attom44]

For a show that was written off as usual before it even aired.. it's Creepy good TV.. Thus far it's been a fun ride!

Yeah, its that time of the year in the baseball season. It sucks unless my team is in it which they might be.

[Mr. Green]

missed it again. good thing is I can watch it all from the site later on.

 

[firefly2121]

Diggin the show...my only complaint is that Ichabod has been buried for over 200 years and his clothes haven't even started to break, de-thread, its almost as new...but still he needs something more current, IMO.

Just caught up to last nights episode. Really enjoy this show. Campy and creepy which I love.
