Sleepy Hollow (2013–2017)
5/10
So much potential wasted.
2 February 2019
Started exceptionally well with a great premise

Four seasons, four horsemen, great incorporation of mythology and popular culture only to deteriorate into another uninspired, predictable and bland formulaic supernatural drama.

This could and would have been so much better focusing on the horsemen and much more engaging.

The casting cannot be faulted being dynamic and diverse if not somwhat too readily changeable.

Pace is too fast in places with the viewer left guessing and somewhat flat character backgrond exploration.

With a budget of 4M USD per episode that is greater than Grimm's 3-3.5M USD per episode and perhaps better choice, the loss of showrunner Mark Goffman at the end of season 2 is plainly evident.

A real shame as this had all the right ingredients, but changing the Chef halfway through ruined the meal.
