Sleepy Hollow seasons 1 - 4 (2013-2017)

I forgot to put this one to rest and it deserves a decent burial, at least.

Looking for things to watch, this filled a curious niche, like somewhere between Buffy and X-Files. Nowhere near as good, of course, but sort of the economy version, and they made it with a bit of heart, and sometimes a little bit of smarts that keeps your attention. Some of the attention to detail is surprising in a show that seems like shallow fun entertainment, and there are so many callbacks near and distant that it gives the show a deeper lore than you might expect.

So, cheap shallow fun, everything usually turns out ok, so something nice to watch an episode of at the end of the day as you work your way towards sleep. And then, as with most such products, you notice its just not that good anymore, and then you realize you haven't watched it in a week.

And now its been months. A brief look at its current status, cancelled, no surprise for a show wandering away from the core that made it fun, and there's an avalanche of spoiler there's no escaping from, and makes me not even want to try the show again.

I might as well read synopsis to see where this burning airplane finally landed.
