I've heard a lot of good things about Sleepy Hollow, so I decided to give it a try and am four eps in on Hulu.
There are, indeed, a lot of good things about it. Each episode has been interesting and entertaining, and there is a diverse cast featuring a black woman as co-lead.
Alas, I my undergrad degree is in early American history and my grad degree is in theology, and that is a bad combo to watch this show.
I keep getting thrown out of it so hard.
The historical details aren't so much changed for dramatic purposes as a few pop-culture elements thrown into a blender on high. And their interpretation of Revelation is just as bad. I was hoping that once the first few episodes set the scene that there would at least be less historical references, so I would only have half the problems.
Alas, that does not seem like it is going to happen.
I don't know how many eps I can take before it gets to be too much.
