I am rapidly and predictably loving Sleepy Hollow

I've now watched the first four episodes of Sleepy Hollow and am pretty well hooked. The fourth episode in particular deals with Abbie and Jenny's relationship in a compelling way. The two have great chemistry and their scenes have brought out some fabulous acting on Nicole Beharie's part.

I love that Abbie and Jenny get to have all the angst and complex history. Meanwhile, Ichabod is like "oh yeah I woke up 200 years in the future and everyone I care about is dead or trapped in a horrible mirror dimension but enough about me, I'm good, let's attend to *your* emotions and needs."

I could really do without all the George Washington worship, though at this point it's getting silly enough that it goes with the general plot-holyness cracky fun. Kinda.

I have been rewatching the first season in anticipation of S2. The stuff with the founding fathers is always my least favorite, I'm pretty much in it for everyone else and the relationships, which are all so awesome. Abbie and Jenny are the best.

Yeah, I have some moments where I'm shocked by how intense the patriotism and Christianity of the show is, but the characters are fantastic. I've now watched through maybe episode 7 and Irving has joined the team and gotten some badass moments. :D
