The supernatural/conspiracy theory thriller "Sleepy Hollow" has begun its fourth season with Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) now hanging his three-cornered hat in Washington, D.C. For now the only other familiar face is "Miss" Jenny (Lyndie Greenwood). Jenny is sister to Abbie, Crane's deceased partner in the Witnessing enterprise.
So far the move is going well. Crane has a new FBI partner, Diana Thomas (Janina Gavankar). She is the single mom to Molly Thomas (Oona Yaffe), who went mysteriously mute about the time Abbie died.
Remember the secret underground library of Everything a Witness Needs to Know which had to demolished due to a demon infestation? Well apparently George Washington set up another one, in D.C. Crane finds it along with its two librarians/guardians, Jake Wells (Jerry MacKinnen) and Alex Norwood (Rachel Melvin.) These two make a great team. He handles the books, she handles artifacts and weaponry. Jake becomes an instant fanboy of Crane's and relishes in learning that the supernatural is "real." Alex is more wary of Crane. Rounding out the new season's crew is villain Malcolm Dreyfuss (Jeremy Davies). He is not a demon or warlock, or at least not yet revealed as such. He is something much worse - a billionaire who wants to control large parts of the world.
So the show is in the midst of big changes. Crane, too, is changing and growing. The colonial-era ponytail is gone and he seems more comfortable with modernity. Case in point - he quickly discerns that looking through the camera on his cell phone will enable him to see through the "glamour" spell rendering a witch's house invisible. Such use of electronic technology would never have occurred to Season 1 Crane.
As crowded as my TV schedule is, for now, I will keep watching "Sleepy Hollow."
