Season 3 of Sleepy Hollow had a dramatic end with the death of a major character. With half of the core protagonists gone there was some trepidation of the show continuing.

I give a lot of credit to the show runners and writers to finding a new road for the show without Abby Mills. They still had more story to go and I think they found a smart way of telling the rest. Maintain what people liked about the show and mix in new characters to keep it going. Continue the threads for fans and keep it accessible for newcomers. It can be hard to do both but I think they largely succeeded.

Jenny Mills was the only character to come through with Ichabod. They moved out of Sleepy Hollow to D.C. and introduced three new characters. Diana essentially filled the law enforcement shoes of Abby and Jake and Alex came in as the support team.

We got to see quite a few monsters and demons. Ran around for clues and artifacts and a new big bad (Malcolm Dreyfus) anchored it all together. I liked the new cast, the show remained fun and at a truncated 13 episodes there was essentially no filler. They made the best of the time they had. Seeing the Four Horseman of the Apocolypse finally come together was neat and while there were some convenient deals made in the finale I liked the end too. It serves as both a season and series finale which is a good accomplishment.

I’m glad I stuck with the show and came away largely satisfied. If this is the end, it goes out on what I consider a strong note and if it gets picked up for more, I’ll be there to check it out.
