I don't. I tried a few episodes. Basically Icabad Crane wakes up in the present day and becomes a cop fighting off demons with some black chick. Could have been done a lot better.

I like the guy playing Crane well enough, but I'm not really big on the rest of the cast.

I thought the first episode was phenomenal and was pumped, everyone one since has been a disappointment. There is a different ghost or demon every week and have not retained any part of the Sleepy Hollow storyline other than that being the backdrop and Crane being in every episode.

Yes it's very good. If you and your wife are looking for something different then this is the show for y'all. The off the wall premise is crazy enough to work

Wife and I watched the first two episodes then forgot about it. It's not bad, just nothing special either

Remember the first and only rule of the Movie board:

Ah, the kiss of death. This show almost assuredly sucks.

It's a great show.

It doesn't take itself too seriously and embraces the absurdity. The leads have great chemistry and the supporting cast are really great as well.

I enjoy alternate universe shows and I like seeing how well known historical events and historical figures - The Boston Tea Party, The Revolutionary War, George Washington, etc. - "really happened" in their version of history.

The show has action, good special effects, humor, and what looks to be an overarching mythology.

It's not "Breaking Bad" or "Mad Men" but it's certainly not "The Following".

There are few shows that my husband and I both enjoy and watch together but this is one of them.

Plus, Tom Mison (Ichabod Crane) is frickING HOT.

Depends.... It's entertaining if you can get past the ridiculousness at times. It kind of puts its own spin on the book of Revelation from the Bible which I think is a stretch.

The black girl in it is super fine.

Well, bear in mind that unlike the Bible the TV show is a work of fiction.

Revolutionary War History with a Revelation Apocalyptic spin. I'm a big fan. I think it's working so far.

Good analysis on the show in this thread.

First episode was very solid, then it started going downhill. With the latest episode about the boy from Roanoke being especially terrible.

It's actually pretty good especially for a Monday night. I get a combo X-files/Supernatural vibe from it, I like the out of time humor Crane has I just hope they don't run it into the ground.
