After a few so-so episodes, Sleepy Hollow's season ended with a bang last night. That's right. The season is over after 13 episodes. No more till next fall. I'm not at all sure why they wanted to hurry the end by showing the last two episodes on one night. Competition from the Olympics wouldn't be a problem for a few weeks. Why only 13 episodes? Maybe they are having second thoughts about renewing it. Maybe the actors committed too quickly to doing other things late last year to make any more till next season. I still watch it more for it's being over the top than for it's actual quality. Tom Mison does a great job with Crane, a role that seems would be difficult to be anything, but ridiculous in. I like Lyndie Greenwood as Jenny. Most of the rest including Nichole Beharie as Abbie don't impress me very much. John Noble, for instance, has a juicy part as Henry, but he's done this sort of thing before on Fringe and I couldn't get into that show at all.

My guess is that the show is expensive to produce. One of the things I noticed from Ep. 1 was that the producers went to the trouble and expense to have really good looking sets, locations, and special effects of very high quality. If the show didn't catch on, the investment was limited.
AFAIK, the show did become popular very quickly, and had already been allocated for renewal by the time it was halfway through the season.
The "over the top" aspect is indeed fascinating, because they handle it so perfectly. Doing what they do is a serious tightrope act-- the events can't be taken seriously, yet the writing and the acting and the direction somehow manage to do so.
I have no idea what will replace the show next week-- perhaps FOX wanted to get whatever it is up and running *before* the Olympics hit?
