I'm getting ready to leave the show because it's not going anywhere anymore. The show has stalled since Henry's introduction, and I am sick and tired of people constantly ragging on Katia Winter and Katrina for "ruining the show".

Sleepy Hollow Season 1 - My Head Doesn't Roll, It's Blown
I understand why people left this show. There are so many layers to the story, each one more complex than previous; the mystery has mysteries. And then all monsters you can think of are thrown in your face every week, bringing progressively crazier twists to the history of United States than all those conspiracy theories combined.
You'd think a series like this would end up with Kudzu Plot so entangled it will have No Ending at all, or even if it's resolved, the ending won't worth the journey.
I say the first season of Sleepy Hollow is not such an excrement. Every single episode contributes something for the plot and the characters' development. Every single concept and item ends up as Chekhov's Gun; even gags and small moments get their Call Back and pay-off.
In the technical side, all the actors nail their roles perfectly and are able to deliver their often-times ridiculous lines beautifully. Tom Mison (bless him) in particular, has that kind of voice that doesn't make exposition boring. The sets and special effects are decent with occasional ups and downs in quality, nothing is too distracting. Also, with its good directional style, I dare say Sleepy Hollow is one of the best shot TV series at this time.
Lastly, the finale is simply terrific. There is a ultimate reveal, a perfect plot twist, and a cliffhanger that makes second season impossible to predict in how it will continue the story. I just hope my head will still be intact when September comes, now with two horsemen in its tow.
