Due to a blood spell cast on a battlefield during the Revolution, the infamous headless horseman is revived, along with Crane. When the murderous rider embarks on a bloody rampage in present-day Sleepy Hollow, Ichabod realizes that he must act quickly, because the headless horseman is only the first of the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly The show's vibe is just right. Rated: B+ Jan 22, 2014 Full Review Sonia Saraiya AV Club Ultimately, what makes Sleepy Hollow so watchable is how much fun it is having with its own premise. Rated: B+ Jan 21, 2014 Full Review Neil Drumming Salon.com Personally, I find it increasingly difficult to keep the different threads in order in my mind, especially when - the truth is - I am most interested in the growing relationship between the two leads. Nov 5, 2013 Full Review Randy Dankievitch Processed Media Sleepy Hollow tries to bring too much to the table: and more so, what it brings to the table isn't interesting. Rated: C Feb 14, 2020 Full Review Noah Berlatsky Splice Today The mash-up of police procedural and supernatural paranoid thriller should be fun, but instead it's just confused-you can't even find the plot for all the holes. Sep 16, 2019 Full Review Deborah Krieger I on the Arts While this show certainly seems (and is) quite cheesy, not to mention a bit gory and violent, the conceit and the sure-to-be compelling chemistry between the two leads makes this show promising.

Rian t I really enjoyed the first season Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/24/21 Full Review Liam D While it has a disappointing final episode it takes a silly idea and makes something good with solid writing and direction, a eerie score and a scene stealing performance from Tom Mison Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/29/21 Full Review Audience Member I stopped watching after the part where they justified the dropping of the atomic bomb. Too much propaganda. No, thank you. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review zed b Great update of a timeless clasic,Tom Mison and Nicole Behaire are excellent in their roles with strong surport. The links to the past are very creative and add an interesting historical element to the horror format. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review jon c a very fresh take on the old story we all know it has a much richer, deeper mythology than we're used to Icabod Crane has awoken in our present day, yeah it's that fish-out-of water element that's been done before but Season 1 reveals why he's now up and about the town of Sleepy Hollow has so many dark secrets that even Lieutenant Abby Mills gets thrown into the mix of it all at first their main enemy looks to be the Headless Horseman of all things but there's much more to his presence than we're lead to believe Crane had a wife who was a witch named Katrina who was trapped in purgatory and there's countless clues pointing to the rise of the apocalypse Abby's sister also comes along later after spending years in a psychiatric facility, her partner is killed off who found out some disturbing information on his own, and another fellow officer falls victim to a demonic entity named Moloch everything is connected in this world so keep in mind there is so much to keep up with but it's good because the show keeps building upon itself our own history is analyzed as well showing what actually went on love the characters, the humor, the dark, gothic feel, the scares, and the expanding world the writers create Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci once again make the most out of a small town with supernatural elements we shape our own destiny, make our own choices, what do we sacrifice for our safety and our freedom, our fates are intertwined from the start, and love binds family together no matter the odds the finale is quite the eye-opener too with twist after twist making you re-think every episode and what's transpired I have a good feeling the stakes are getting higher and higher Season 2 seems like an assured step into making 'Sleepy Hollow' a surefire hit Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Another 21st century reimagining of a story from another time? "No, thanks", I thought to myself. Much to my surprise, three years later, I find myself awestruck by its production values, a quality I didn't enjoyed since Fringe. And looking at its producers, it al made sense. A pitty it all goes downhill with season 3... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
