Sleepy Hollow random comment
I love how diverse the show is. The main cast (Abbie, Irving, Katrina and Crane) is 2/4 POC, the supporting cast 3/4 (Luke Morales, Andy Brooks, Jenny Mills and Sheriff Corbin) and the background people? A complete mix- there are female detectives in the squad room, the random cops in uniform are of all races, medical people mostly female and mostly not white. I am just so used to the sea of white men on most shows that this is so refreshing and just a breath of fresh air.
There's been some SJW wank of late but, if anything, I think they're not seeing the whole picture. Yes, it played the native American voodoo-hoodoo card, but it made did so aware and commenting about it at the same time. Is it perfect? No. But it's trying, and that's something.
Also, can I mention how original it is that we've seen the male lead in his undies/shirtless more often and for longer periods of time than the female lead? How often does that happen?

And I'm really looking forward to seeing where they take the mythology they're creating.
