SLEEPY HOLLOW, new Fox series — Page 3

I really enjoyed it. We'll see how it plays out, but the pilot worked really well. Actors didn't get campy which I expected.

I also caught that the Captain's name was Irving. I like the actor, but he comes off really heavy in this role.

I can't wait until the second episode.

LOL Mister Matt! This was no where near as off the rails as Cult was!!! Did you watch that entire series, including the summer burn-off? Talk about a wild ride!

The only bad news is there are only 10 episodes

Hopefully, it will be renewed

Watched the first two episodes back to back last night and enjoyed it. Again, good potential, but let's keep outer fingers crossed that the writing doesn't take a dive.

---

Thoroughly enjoying this series, and the second episode didn't demonstrate any decline in quality, so I'm still invested.

The more I watch this, the more I see the similarities with FRINGE, including the first rate special effects.

Jungle Red - I don't understand your question. They didn't know about blood typing in the 1700's but I don't believe the nature of human blood has changed since then. In other words, anyone from that period who "rose from the dead" like Crane could be blood typed using the modern designations.

It's a fun show, I hope it continues past the 10 shows already filmed.

This show continues to KILL IT!

I loved the Sandman plot and thought that the creature design and effects looks really amazing for television. Wasn't mad at that shirtless Ichabod scene either. I wonder if Katrina will end up coming back too. That's preferable to me than the inevitable shippers of the Leftenant and Ichy. That whole partners falling in love thing is very played out to me.

I loved the third episode too, and I agree with wonkit that it was the strongest entry yet. I think many shows struggle in the first couple episodes after the pilot as the writers feel out what to do week to week. None of that is happening with Sleepy Hollow. It feels like we're watching season three; the cast is in sync, the plots are fun and the visuals are fantastic.

The sandman was scary (too scary for me!) and I like how the monster of the week ties into the overall plot and propels it forward. A perfect blend of stand alone and serialized writing.

The product placement was funny, and I like how Ichabod later said the shaman's drink tasted better!

They need to find a way to keep Ichabod as shirtless as possible.

Beharie makes the show for me though. I really enjoy her performance and her chemistry with Mison.

Lol. I think about that too, more than anything else while watching it.

Not only was it picked up for a full season but also renewed for a second! F*CK YEAH!

I have no problem with that. I hate the American television model of bloated seasons. There is always so much filler. The only show that does it well is Scandal but it's basically split into two pods each with their own storyline.

"Variety" shared this:

Fox has ordered a 13-episode second season of “Sleepy Hollow,” making the fantasy thriller the first fall debut to be renewed for a sophomore run.

Renewal arrives just three episodes into “Sleepy Hollow’s” first season.

“Sleepy Hollow” ranks as Fox’s most successful fall drama premiere in over a decade. The program opened to 10 million viewers during its premiere, a number that blossomed to 13.6 million after three days of time-shifted viewing were accounted for. “Sleepy Hollow” has also retained a impressive number of its viewers since the show’s launch, even when faced with stiff broadcast competition that includes NBC’s “The Voice.”

“’Sleepy Hollow’ has proven to be a risk well worth taking – it’s a conceptual blast unlike anything else on television and it all holds together with inventive writing and a fantastic cast,” said Fox chairman of entertainment Kevin Reilly. “I can’t wait for fans to experience what else is in store for this fall and even more of this wild ride into season two.”
