I'm surprised by how much I ended up liking Sleepy Hollow, and I really think it comes down to the characters. Yes, Ichabod Crane vs. Modern Technology is my favorite running gag. But I love, love the relationship between Ichabod and Abbie so much. And the fast-and-loose play with history/mythology doesn't bother me as much as I know it should. It's just so hard to get mad when you've got Abbie and Ichabod fist-bumping and being adorable and character development that isn't sexist or degrading to either character.
(BTW, don't know if you've seen the finale yet, but both my mom and I were yelling at the TV during the last 10 minutes.)
I LOVE how diverse the cast is. Someone made a comment somewhere that "there are so many POCs in the cast, that you can have two POC characters talk to each other about another POC". That is amazing, and I hope other TV executives are taking notice.
Here are a couplequotes that I find so interesting from the cast and crew talking about diversity.
