Shipwrecked Comedy has launched its new dark comedy series Headless: A Sleepy Hollow Story. Hero Sean Persaud, Mary Kate Wiles, Sinead Persaud, Giovanna Sotomura, Curt Mega, Cristina Arielle, Parvesh Cheena, Kim whale, Giovanni Rubinsteinand a long list of guest stars including Matthew Mercer, Jimmy Wong, Lee Newton, Laruen Lopez, Dan Mintz, Audrey Grace MarshallAnd Julia Cho. I got the chance to see the first three episodes of what will be a ten-episode series. So, here are my thoughts on the series so far.
The original The Legend of Sleepy Hollow it’s an iconic story to deal with. I remember seeing the animated film as a kid and being almost as scared as Ichabod Crane from the Headless Horseman. In this new take, Ichabod teams up with the Knight to help him find his head. I don’t want to give too much away, but the two play very well against each other. This is a comedy, so having Ichabod trying to help this guy while at the same time keeping him hidden from others in town was fun. The show, while still good, was a bit slow for me until the guest stars started making their appearances. Don’t get me wrong, the main cast is fantastic, I especially loved Matilda and Brom, but the guests will add such a unique flavor to every episode they are in. Can’t wait to see more. I’m also enjoying the new look of the classic characters, especially Katrina. There really isn’t much to her character in the original other than being an award to be won by Brom and Ichabod. In this version, however, we get the sense of depth of her character that should be exciting to see more of.
Overall, I have enjoyed the show so far. Episode one is now available for viewing on Shipwrecked’s YouTube channel. with new episodes coming out every Monday. If episode one hasn’t hooked you yet, I recommend giving it a few more episodes. As we enter the fall and Halloween season, this will be the perfect show to help you kick off the season.
