Sleepy Hollow (2013–2017)
1/10
Absolute Garbage
7 January 2014
In my (not even that humble) opinion, the first episode of any show should give a decent presentation of what is to come.

On the basis of the first episode, this is one of the worst shows ever. If it was a comedy show, I'd give it 5/10, but all the comical aspects were not intended. Such extensive use of clichés. Man and Woman as partners in solving mysteries (X-Files, anyone?). Mano a Mano scenes that made no sense. The use of firearms to such extent that any modern day director of an action film with actors who know exactly one facial expression would be proud of.

And to add insult to an injury. The acting on part of most of the "actors" was just that poor, bordering on ridiculous. Can't people actually act anymore. Facial expressions could give acting a bit more intensity if they actually compared with the emotion supposed to be shown...

Seriously. There was 1 decent computer animated trick, rest of them were of substandard quality. At least twice I actually burst out in laughter because the trick was so awkward. Frankly speaking, I've seen better homemade videos on Youtube.

The only thing that could save this show in the future would be Clancy Brown as he is a very good actor. However, his previous roles have been much better and more believable.
