(Spoilers
for Sleepy
Hollow.)
In
the heat of the American Revolution, young Patriot officer Captain Ichabod
Crane dies in battle with—and after beheading—a mysterious, terrifying Redcoat
horseman. Two hundred and fifty years
later, he awakens in a world he does not recognize, and fate brings him together
with Lieutenant Abbie Mills of Sleepy Hollow PD, who has just lost her partner
Sheriff August Corbin to the now-headless horseman who killed Crane during the
Revolution. Seeking answers, the
unlikely pair discovers that their adversary is none other than one of the Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse, namely the Horseman of Death. A vision from Crane’s hitherto-thought-dead
wife—the powerful white witch Katrina—reveals that Crane and Abbie are the Two
Witnesses foretold in the Bible (and in greater detail in the copy belonging to
Washington that was buried with Crane) to protect and defend the world during a seven-year period of tribulation. Death
means to reclaim his missing head, and once he does, he will then raise the
other Three Horsemen to begin the End Times. Crane and Abbie’s only hope to
stop the Horseman is to find the head before he does and thus prevent
him from ending the world we know.

British
actor Tom Mison portrays a completely rewritten version of the character from
the Sleepy Hollow legend; his Crane is a Britain-born defender of the infant
American nation, trusted of George Washington himself, brave, clever, staunch
in his loyalties and ever searching for the truth, no matter how difficult it might be to believe. Nicole Beharie of 42 fame plays Abbie
Mills, a young police lieutenant about to leave Sleepy Hollow for the FBI
academy in Quantico when her partner Sheriff Corbin is murdered by the Horseman
of Death. Abbie is a good cop,
hard-working and smart enough to get accepted to Quantico, and although she is
at first skeptical of Crane’s claims, demons and shadows in her own past
eventually convince her that he is telling the truth.
I saw
the trailers for Sleepy Hollow the year it premiered, and I was intrigued enough
to record the pilot when it premiered. I’m
a big fan of mystery, magic, mythology, and history, and all of these things Sleepy
Hollow has in spades. In short,
I was not disappointed. The show has
good plots, good characters, strong leads, and enough heart to keep you coming
back for more. I look forward to however
many seasons Sleepy Hollow has in the tank, and I look forward to bringing
you favourable reports on this marvelous show.
