Sleepy Hollow

Sleepy Hollow! Not the Tim Burton movie, though that has its charms :) No, the new tv show in which British Oxford history professor Ichabod Crane dies fighting in the American revolutionary war, only to awaken in modern day Sleepy Hollow. He's linked by blood with the Headless Horseman (one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse) and when the Horseman rises, so does Crane, to fight him.
Lt. Abbie Mills begins investigating the Headless Horseman after he beheads her friend and partner. Mills' investigation reveals the presence of two occult groups, one for good, the other evil, in Sleepy Hollow both of which are concerned with the Four Horsemen and the associated apocalypse. The killing spree the Horseman embarks on causes Crane and Mills to team up. (from the wiki article.)

Most of the action takes place in the present, but there are frequent flashbacks to important events of the past.

Supernatural adventure, humour, two very competent leads and a great supporting cast have led to viewing figures guaranteeing the show a second season een before the fifth episode aired. Guest stars include Star Trek's John Cho, Fringe's John Noble, True Blood's James Frain, and Legend of the Seeker's Craig Parker.
