About the Show
Sleepy Hollow
beings with Ichabod Crane being resurrected and pulled two and a half centuries
through time to unravel a mystery that dates all the way back to the founding
fathers. Revived alongside Ichabod is the infamous Headless Horseman who is on
a murderous rampage in present-day Sleepy Hollow. Ichabod quickly realizes that
stopping the Headless Horseman is just the beginning, as the resurrected rider
is but the first of the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse and only one of the
many formidable foes that Ichabod must face to protect not only Sleepy Hollow,
but the world. Ichabod teams up with Lt. Abbie Mills, a young cop who has a her
own supernatural experiences and the two embark on a mission to stop the evil
that has awoken along with Ichabod.
Characters
Ichabod Crane is played by the SMEXY Tom Mison! He's British, ridiculously handsome, incredibly funny and plays the part of Crane wonderfully. Need we say more ladies! *wink wink*
Abbie Mills is played by the LOVELY Nicole Behaire! She's feisty, funny and charge-into-action-don't-ask-for-permission-apologize-later type of girl! Definitely a great female character to be seen played on TV! Nicole does a great job at portraying Abbie!
Our Thoughts
It's great the cast consist of main characters who are both white AND black and that the main lead of the female heroine is black instead of the usual white girl who's skinny and has blonde hair. The humor is sarcasm at it's best and the action is wicked, dangerous, and deadly fun! The Headless Horseman may not have a head but he carries one hell of an arsenal with a massive magic ax, a rifle attached to his back, and a machine gun. He was PERFECT as a bad guy and we don't even know who plays his character!
Can't wait for tonight's next episode!
