Sleepy Hollow (2013–2017)
6/10
STOP at Season 2 and go no further...
10 December 2023
Like many series, they start out strong and slowly devolve into a lost story that doesn't even resemble what it started as. I loved the whole historical drama although highly fictionalized. The first season is all about a combination of Washington Irving's tale and the Founding of America. Brilliantly done and had they stayed in that vein it would have been amazing, but perhaps there wasn't enough material to continue that storyline. Season 1 is a 9 out of 10. Season 2 is salvageable but the beginning of the end was obviously soon to come. The writers, turned characters into something that made zero sense, they turned Mills into a sanctimonious, condescending hypocrite. The actress played it well. In addition, this is where the virtue signaling bore its head. I tried so hard to finish Season 3, but by episode 16, I was ready to poke my eyes out. It flat left its original plot and became nothing more than a long, drawn out, painful supernatural knock off. When a series gets to the point you couldn't care less if the majority of characters live or die, you know you should stop watching. For me, I got down to the only redeemable character, Crane and the rest I truly wanted them to die off.
