Of all of the villains on Sleepy Hollow, Jeremy Davies has been my favorite. The headless horseman was down right scary, Henry was tragic, Pandora was beautiful and brilliant, but they all pale in comparison to the absolute over the top crazy of Malcolm Dryfuss. Jeremy Davies hit exactly the right balance of utterly insane and hate-to-love-him. His voice, his mannerisms, his facial expressions all conveyed his part beautifully. Well done Mr. Davies, well done!

Sleepy Hollow-like many other shows nowadays, started out as a brilliant, entertaining, easy to watch show, and then - I suppose triggered by the lack of creativity of the writers paired with a sudden megalomania of the creators (probably caused by the success of the first episodes) - it turns into a vehicle of twisted, clumsy propaganda. The problem is not, that it does want to advocate for something, the flaw is, that it does it too obvious+too clumsy+ completely unjustified/by falsifying historical facts etc. Letting aside the heroic slaves which surely never had the chance to build America as the show insinuates, the villain with the German Jewish name (evil discrimination) and so on, it is historically wrong to present the British guy as the hero of the Revolutionary War, since the British were the ones who fought the American colonialists and Hessians/Germans fought on B O T H side of the war. So the presentation is not only lopsided, it is downright wrong and discriminating political propaganda. Well, the show went south anyway since Nicole Beharie left and I gotta say I won't miss it when it will be canceled (probably after one more, hopefully less political season).
