First of all: to those who hope to Amazon all episodes in German view is disappointed. As a result, there are only 6 German subtitles. This is of course very unfortunate. At least just ran all the consequences of ProSieben Maxx and now Season 2. Those who missed this, I advise the UK-DVD, which actually has a German sound track, although it is not this is!
"Sleepy Hollow" is a simple-minded low-budget series, the story unfortunately technically wrong track quickly. It starts very exciting, dark and interesting with the emergence of the Headless Horseman with a native of the past Ichabod Crane. Gradually, you can learn more about the background and will be disappointed. Instead of the familiar story to reinterpret in an innovative way, she drifts into a Dämonenmumpitz with religious strikes, acts badly copied and sometimes unfreillig silly. That with the devil and the four horsemen could have been to give complete.
As so often in series, which unfortunately are constantly discussed with the well-known police work, there is at the beginning of the monster-of-the-week concept, but fortunately quickly in a save-my-wife-from-the-Dämonenreich- empties story that is unfortunately too abstruse and irrelevant. "Sleepy Hollow" manages never own ideas or a traceable thread to develop. A bit of everything, but really nothing. One constantly has the feeling that the story is not well thought out and the makers sometime even no longer knew how to combine all the little storylines with regard to past issues. Therefore, the series from the beginning remains very superficial until the end, even in terms of characters. Ichabod, there is the most interesting figure, but like all other little depth. Incidentally, a lot more scenes and possibilities of the Culture Clash would be offered for him. The few that are there, namely amuse every time.
Nevertheless, the series is really personable and anything but boring. She does not take itself seriously, lives from its likeable characters and a very own, innocuous charm. The actors are all good, dialogues, Ausstackung and effects also. Qualitatively, there is absolutely nothing to complain about. Only the story is lagging behind. At least you can convince the surprising finale and ends with an extremely exciting cliffhanger. One may be curious to see what Season 2 make of it. Hopefully the makers have learned from the parlous state quotas and reviews! It would be a shame about the nice ensemble.
