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?

i used to live on the island too! we moved to roslyn right before i started high school. and at my old job i did a lot of work on a (unfinished >.< ) planning study for westchester county, so at one time i did sort of know the demographics for sleepy hollow and tarrytown, but i certainly don't remember them now.

and can i just say, i love that the actual sleepy hollow has an actual black female cop.
