I liked it, though its using the currently popular, hot British dude fights crime with sassy American chick troup, it's definulty trying to weave an entirely new mythos around the legend of the headless horseman. I'm not entirely sold on the style but I'll give it a few episodes to find its feet.

Spoiler

Hopefully we wont see too much of convenient info-giving dream wife. Also I was a bit disappointed, that interesting strong female cop, just had to have the weepy back-story to justify her personality, can't have a strong female character without a tragic past.

 

A solid episode, though I'm a little annoyed at just how well Crane is taking the whole, your 250 year in the future and your wife and everyone you know is dead thing. Plus he's just a little to modern to with his views on women, race, etc to really be believable, he might be liberal and well educated by the standards of the 1700s but even the most tolerant views back then would come with some seriously offensive assumptions by today's standards. Hell shes a working black woman who apparently has broken off a romance with a guy shes working with, run that through 1700s standards and shes about 1 step up from a prostitute.

Also it always irks me how TV time travelers assimilate into modern culture in about 5 minutes without more than token trauma about loosing everything and everyone they've ever known, not to mention every assumption on pretty much everything being 250 year out of date, you might as well have dropped him on an alien planet. Hell she's the one having to stop and 'deal with it' all the time while he literally just got there, just about everything should be fascinating, shocking, delightful, scary etc, yet all we get is a few jokes and the odd staring at a light-bulb.

Anyway, rant over, hopefully he's gonna start reacting to all this like a human being after they start to get a little down-time.
