In 1781, Ichabod Crane, a soldier in the Colonial Army, on a mission for General George Washington, and caught up in a battle, beheads the Hessian soldier, the Headless Horseman, as the Horseman kills him. Now, in modern day Sleepy Hollow, New York, Ichabod rises from his grave, after the Headless Horseman (revealed to be Death, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, although the signs more appropriately point to Conquest, the First horseman of the Apocalypse, who rides a white horse while holding a bow) is summoned back from his watery grave by an unknown party. The resurrection of the one causes the resurrection of the other due to the intertwining of their fates as a result of their blood mixing shortly after Crane decapitated the Headless Horseman on the field of battle. Lt. Abbie Mills begins investigating the Headless Horseman after he beheads Sheriff August Corbin, Mills' mentor and partner. Mills' investigation reveals the presence of two occult groups – one for good, the other evil – in Sleepy Hollow, both of which are concerned with the Four Horsemen and the associated apocalypse. The killing spree the Horseman embarks on causes Crane and Mills to team up. As Crane's worldview is from 18th century Colonial America, some friction can be expected between him and Abbie, and also between him and the people he must now work with. This is often a source of comedy for the show, but also forces him to look at things differently and thus become a strength.

This show really snuck up on me. When it was first announced, I kinda side glanced at it. Then when the first trailers hit the web, it reminded me a lot of Grimm; which is a show I just can't get with. So, I tried to stay as far away from this show as possible. Besides, it was on FOX. But recently, I decided to give the show a chance and oh my god... I'm in love with this show. Definitely recommend it!

I watched the pilot and thought it was pretty good, but to be honest I'm a little bored of procedurals even with the apocoloypse element thrown in, i'm kind of not sure it will hold my interest.

CHRIS?!?! You 'DON'T GET' "Grimm"?! That's like, one of THE BEST shows out there at the moment!!! In, my humble opinion, of course Alas, I haven't watched any of SH yet, although I have heard a lot of attention has been brought to the actor who plays Ichabod, though

I'm actually far more impressed with Nicole Beharie, the actress who plays "Abbie Mills." She brings so much to the show. And I instantly fell in love with her character. Ichabod is great, but Abbie is in my heart and soul. haha!

Season 2 is pretty good so far. Nicole Beharie continues to slay as Abbie Mills, and Ichabod is always hilarious to watch. Looking forward to how the season is going to pan out!
