I think I love this show. It's just lovably weird and doesn't try to cover it up.
I agree. Quirkiness always scores in my books...

Basically the story is, after fighting in the Civil War on Washington's side, Ichabod Crane faces off against an unknown mercenary on the battlefield, who wields an axe. After being wounded by the Axe-man, he chops his head off, then he falls unconscious. When he wakes up, he is in a cave somewhere, walking out, and finds out (over time) that he was "asleep" for 250 years.
I'm really enjoying this show, it's a pretty fun ride & I really enjoy how Ichabod marvels at all of the new tech and the changes in things since he's been asleep, the actor does a really good job of it. However, I have one minor nitpick, how long has it been since Ichabod woke up because if it's been even 1 day per episode Ichabod has spent an awful lot of time wearing the same clothes that he woke up in; near as I can tell he hasn't changed outfits since the pilot. Either he sits around naked in his room (or wherever he's staying now) while his clothes are washed or his clothes should be about ready to stand up by themselves by now from not having been washed for who knows how long.
They already plan to deal with that issue by having him introduced to the miracles of dry-cleaning (and the horrors of its cost). This will give them an excuse to put him into contemporary clothing (which should provide for a lot of laughs).
Besides, he's already done a light washing on his clothes on screen.
I forgot about the light washing, he washed his clothes in his hotel room once didn't he? Still, you think they would have gotten him more clothes by now, granted that there are bigger priorities like the coming apocalypse but it wouldn't take long to buy him some jeans and a few shirts if only so that he's not walking around like a walking anachronism. I suppose they could try to pass him off as being into the whole retro look but I'm not sure that anybody would buy the idea of somebody being into centuries old retro.
I'd be all over him wearing modern clothes and that coat. Because that coat is a thing of awesome. Much like his hair and eyes.
Oh god, did I just go into full blown fangirl mode? Ignore me.
Is anyone still watching ? Does anybody see the striking rip-off that blond Hawley guy is from Uncharted ? He's basically Nathan Drake, collecting mystical artefacts and all, down to the white shirt !

If, by the end of its allotted run the network wants to keep the show on the air they can then instruct the show's producers to come up with some sort of out or a new problem to overcome so they can air more seasons
