From TVGuide.com:

The premise of Sleepy Hollow is absurd, but thanks to its cheeky sense of humor and some genuinely creepy monsters, the freshmen drama has become the breakout hit of the season.

"The key to this world is, if you keep it grounded in this emotional reality it'll feel authentic, but it has to be funny," executive producer Alex Kurtzman said at New York Comic-Con on Sunday. "We know how crazy our show is going to be. We know we are one molecule away from insane every second and that's the balance that were constantly holding."

To combat any potential schtick-iness in Ichabod's (Tom Mison) fish-out-of-water befuddlement, producers explained they avoid playing his confusion as a joke, a practice best exemplified when Ichabod has a sincerely heartfelt conversation with {spoiler} "When you get really, really nice moments like that, the flouncing tart in me just wants to ham it up," Mison said. "That's the biggest challenge. Not indulging myself too much in the very, very funny scripts that we're given."

Ichabod has his hands full juggling two women: his witch wife Katrina (Katia Winter) and his modern day partner Abbie (Nicole Beharie). "There is undoubtedly a connection with Lt. Abbie Mills," Mison teased of the fan-favorite pairing. "But then there's always in the back of his head, 'Oh my god. I have a wife and she's a witch and I'm going to be in so much trouble."
