I've seen the first 5 episodes. Let me start by saying that I knew nothing about what it was going to be about - although obviously given the name I was expecting someone called Ichabod and someone missing what would normally be a crucial part of their body to survive.

My friend and I agree that the acting leaves a lot to be desired.

Time Travel. This simple little thing in the first 5 minutes or so seemed to cause me issues. I think mostly because I was unaware of such a plot point, and I was looking forward to the series continuing in the time period of Ichabod, not transporting him to the present.

The darkness, evil, whatever you want to call it. I've enjoyed this so far; there have been a couple of moments where I have jumped, and other times where I have been completely creeped out. I also love the fact that it's never truly in focus, very unnerving.

Witches and witchcraft. I definitely did not expect it to be in the series, but I think for the most part it does a good job at keeping things going.

The head (pun-intended) honcho, the Headless Horseman. On the one hand I like how they've gone and linked him to the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse. On the other hand, that's not the story of the headless horseman (at least, not that I remember).

My final thoughts: It's a good TV series, but you could have called it anything for the moment, there isn't enough focus on Ichabod and the Headless Horseman for me to understand the need to call the show Sleepy Hollow.

The Headless Horseman by himself isn't enough for a TV series unless it was only going to last a season.

Oh sure, I understand that. But my point is that this isn't the tale of Sleepy Hollow, so why call it that? The only connection is Ichabod, the Headless Horseman, and a town called Sleepy Hollow. The show is more about witchcraft and this lurking evil. You could call Ichabod something else, the four horsemen of the apocalypse could all have heads, and you could rename the town to Energetic Solid and no one would know the connection to Sleepy Hollow.

And yes, I do appreciate that it is just a name for a show. It just irks me when they do things like this.

Sleepy Hollow - John Noble to return for Season 2

 

Which is why we?ll see Henry at least three more times this season ? Noble?s next episode has ?a terrific script,? he says enthusiastically ? and why the actor is happy to announce that he?ll be back in Season 2.

The supernatural drama has cast? Alias spydaddy Victor Garber as Ichabod?s dad, TVLine has learned exclusively.

Details are sparse, but Garber will appear in at least one upcoming episode of the Fox series.

In the Nov. 25 episode, Ichabod spoke fondly of his father, reminiscing about spending time with him while the elder Crane was on holiday from teaching at Oxford.

      Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. Apart from Dead by Daylight's offer, this week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 21, at 11:59 pm PT.
