lotesseBased on adorable stuff with Nicole Beharie on tumblr, I'm attempting to watch Sleepy Hollow. I didn't realize it was an Orci and Kurtzman production - not a good sign that. Am halfway through the pilot and being driven UP A WALL by the soundscape - terrible scoring, and they've used the same fake-ass "metal gate opening" sound clip three times in fifteen minutes.
On the other hand, competent Black characters interacting competently.
... rargh bad soundscapes are the woooooooorst

2. White guy is as central to the plot as Abbie but is not himself central at her expense.
3. So far there has been no egregious and appalling breach of anyone's human rights although there's plenty violence and gruesomeness due to it being a re-telling of the Headless Horseman story of Sleepy Hollow.
I am no fan of Orci but clearly collaborators have a major effect on the final show.
