Haven

The show in some places is a bit silly, I won't deny that. It is a Fantasy series after all, so there has to be some suspension of disbelief. I'm just now re-watching the series for a second time and the first season isn't as "on the-edge of your seat" as some of the later seasons. The good thing is there are stories every episode that are resolved with an underlying arc that the story follows(you get your payoff for time invested, unlike many series that drag stuff along). So many Sci-fi/Fantasy shows these days are basically long movies chopped into series. This really hinders the rewatchability factor of such shows and why older Sci-fi series like Star Trek are watched over and over again(not the new abominations, except for Strange New Worlds).

If you are in to Fantasy or Sci-fi who likes suspense/mystery/thrillers, this is a really good show to consider. Also, at least currently, you can watch this on Tubi(which is totally free).

If you like Warehouse 13 and Eureka, there's a pretty good chance you'll like Haven too. All in all, there's a lot of similarity. We have yet another unlikely guy and gal cop pair in another strange circumstance. It's also out of Sci Fi channel's stable of Canadian made shows.

The characters are a little different. Instead of a town in Oregon full of super intelligent idiots or a world of bizarre relics, we have the mysterious troubles in a town in Maine. But the formula is much the same. Something bizarre, but in the end true love does triumph. It may be a love that ends in tragedy, but that love is there. Really it's quite a pleasant formula.

No, it's not great, but I enjoy it.

This show caught my eye when I saw the ad for it on Hulu. I don't have cable, so I'm not really familiar with a lot of the new shows, but after seeing this is based on the Colorado Kid story by Stephen King, and by being a fan of his work, I decided to check out the show.

I came into the show late; the first episode I saw was the third episode 'Consumed' but that was enough to get me interested. The show takes on some very interesting supernatural elements (with a lot of Stephen King references within them) and it makes for a very entertaining show.

The acting is great, the writing is fun and the two leads, Emily Rose (Audrey Parker) and Lucas Bryant (Nathan Wournos) have great chemistry, while Eric Balfour (Duke) always brings a fun element to the show. I've watched every episode from that first one and I've been hooked. A very enjoyable show with enough supernatural/suspense to keep the viewers intrigued while enjoying the Stephen King-ism and the always burning question "where do I belong?".

I thought it was fantastic. I'm in love with it even though I'm a few years late!! Lol!!! If anyone is still talking about it!!! Get back to me!

I liked Haven from the beginning. It's got an excellent mix of engaging characters, creepy stories and a mysterious story arc.

It also continually seemed like it was ending and didn't. Every season it was like, they're going to explain everything and bring it to a conclusion, and instead it just got even weirder. Over and over. And sometimes I had doubts at the direction I was going as it became less episodic and more about its insane underlying story. But I kept going and I always liked it.

By the fourth episode I was concerned that, like Lost, it was just building a tower of questions that would never be answered, but the series was pretty good at answering questions as new ones arose, so it never got *too* out of control. And every time I thought they'd written themselves into a corner they somehow got control of the story again.

Great series. Check it out. Stay to the end.
