Sleepy Hollow: The Reckoning

Send us a text


Happy Wine Wednesday! It's the holiday season and shows are on
hiatus, so it's the perfect time to discover new faves and take
the occasional trip down memory lane to revisit past shows. 
In the previous episode, Reverend Solomon Missouri and I
discussed a new fave - The Bear.  This week, I'm switching
gears and revisiting a show that had so much potential and then
completely alienated its audience in an astonishing fashion -
Sleepy Hollow.

I'm joined this week by Stacey and Tamara to unpack our very
complicated relationship with this series.  The discussion
is broken out into two parts.  In part 1, we discuss the
Sleepy Hollow pilot and revisit the magic of Tom Mison and Nicole
Beharie on screen.  As always, the pilot discussion is
spoiler free and limited to the events of the pilot
only. 

In part 2 of the discussion, we talk about the series as a whole
and pull no punches.  We get into the terrible treatment of
Abbie Mills as a character and Nicole Beharie as an
actress.  We discuss the writers biggest crimes against the
audience and the many, many times the show completely wasted the
potential of its talented cast.  It was a long overdue,
cathartic conversation about a show that went from being must see
television to me  blocking most of the writers' room on
social media after their poor responses to valid criticisms from
the fans.

Check the chapter markers to see where part 2 of the discussion
begins (roughly around the 1:16:00 mark).

Friendly reminder: we drink, we know things, we use adult
language, and we have a good time!
