Sleepy Hollow | S2 Premiere (TV Review)

Starring Tom Mison (One day) and Nicole Beharie (Shame, 42) as the leads. Sleepy Hollow is an American supernatural | police drama based on the 1820 Washington Irving’s short story “The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow.” It was brought to television by Alex Kurtzman (Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Motion Picture) and Roberto Orci (The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Van Helsing).

The Plot: Sleepy Hollow is the mordern retelling of “The legend of Sleepy Hollow” that centers around Abbie Mills, a Sleepy Hollow Lt. and Ichabod Crane a 251 resurected Englishman. Together they unravel a mystery that dates all the way back to the founding fathers.

Review: In its first season finale, Sleepy Hollow had a lot of shocking reveals and cliffhangers. We left the Abbie, Jenny, Ichabod, Irving, and Katrina in such dire situations that it was hard to picture what was in store for season 2.

The season premiere begins with very little explanation of what happened to the characters since we last saw them. It’s a little disorienting and confusing. I was already thinking that the show was heading down the wrong path, but that was until the twist. I then started to breathe again as everything started to make sense. The producers opted for a nice and gentle introduction to the second season, easing us back into Sleepy Hollow’s storyline.
