No vampires (so far). But no matter what materializes in the town, it's satisfying to see in the first episode that Haven already revolves around grown-ups.
Absolutely love this show! This is the best season so **** I love the plot twists and turns. That last episode show of 2014 was great. I'm looking forward to the next part of the 5th season. Please renew for a 6th season!
I absolutely love this show. The production quality isn't as high as many of the bigger shows, but what they do with what they have is awesome. To many shows that have lead character as a female make is overly sexual. While the lead female is beautiful, she is smart and can rely on things other than her looks. It is a puzzle show that delves into the supernatural. Based somewhat loosely off of the Stephen King Novel "The Colorado Kid", it has just enough suspense and horror to not turn it into a slasher flick. Like usual the critics give one of my favorite shows mixed to negative reviews. I own all the seasons and will continue to buy them.
Haven succeeds at laying on the whimsy, and the dialogue is cute. But it's impossible to follow the investigation, and each discovery raises more questions--not about the supernatural, but about the holes in the script.
Uninspired writing and Rose's lack of heft combine to undermine the Parker character, who is pivotal not only as the newcomer to this latest permutation of unusual TV hamlets but figures in a serialized twist about what might have brought her the assignment.
A ludicrously see-through supernatural crime drama that wastes a perfectly fine performance from Emily Rose as an FBI agent who tracks an escaped convict to a Maine town.
This is one of my favorite sci-fi TV shows. The story centers around the strange events that occur in a fictional town in Maine. The town has a very puzzling and bizarre history and many of its inhabitants suffer from specific afflictions (called "The troubles") that often give them unwanted or dangerous powers. The protagonist of the series is an FBI agent, Audrey, who follows an escaped convict to the town and ends up staying after discovering that her past is somehow connected to the town. Haven has a unique story with a well-developed plot and great cliffhangers at the end of the 2nd season. The acting is terrific and the chemistry between the three main characters (Audrey, Nathan and Duke) is a big draw. I'm really surprised that it isn't on one of the major network stations in the USA.
7.6 out of 10 is a bit much for this show TBH. I don't find it all that interesting. I don't know if it's the characters or the writing, or just a combination of the two, but there's much better TV out there than Haven.
Fun to watch. Not boring at all. I like to see how the story line unfolds over the next few weeks. Steven King is one of America's movie icons. I don't think there are many like him. He is a master in his own category.
Best described as a nickel back concert on tv crossed with a scooby doo episode and a salem witch hunt. Every show starts and finishes about the same, Haven is the towns name 'the troubles' are happenings that scoobie and pals cant work out-frogs from the sky, blood in the rainwater, life **** out of bodies blah blah blah.
They show up every 27 years when Audrey comes back as someone else.
The actors just aren't interested, they are in it for the pay check.
Audrey looks like she wishes she had taken up the porno offer instead. Although when she smiles she lights the room up.
Duke and Nathan are there clearly because they have bills to pay.
The only things that might help it is a sex scene and an alien invasion.
No one knows who the colarado kid is and if you've seen a few episodes you'll see nobody cares.
I have watched it all not to see what happens next, just to see if anything does happen.
I've just finished watching Season 3 and would love to be able to rate it higher but for Mr. King's pervasive anti-Christian bigotry with which he once again taints an otherwise good storyline. If a character such as Reverend Driscoll ever existed anywhere but in the mind of Stephen King, they certainly were exposed & opposed by the majority of normal, decent, loving Christians whom Mr. King NEVER portrays in any of his stories.
Doesn't it seem strange, that in a town as big as Haven, there is only ONE church and minister representing Christianity?
Such cowardly cheap-shot mischaracterizations would not to be tolerated if it were directed at Muslims of Jews. As every member of the media and entertainment industry knows: You never want to speak ill of Islam...even if it is **** you'll get the Van Gogh treatement. As for disparaging Jews... Well you'd just be cutting yourself off at the financial knee-caps.
No, Mr. King is no bold David taking on a malevolent juggernaut, but in fact a COWARD who has repeatedly chosen a "safe target he knows will not strike back in any fashion he needs to fear. So in short He is a Bully, and a bigoted one at that.
If Christians really were the miscreants of violence and intolerance he portrays them to be, his career would have been a short one.
Every artist has their signature within their work: It seems you can always know it's a Stephen King work if it's filled with vile, bigoted, mischaracterizations of Christians.
I think more honest people need to call him out on this: Bigotry and intolerance in any form has no place among us, and should not be rewarded.
My ratings reflect the good work of the actors/actresses, and others who made this series enjoyable despite Mr. King's hatefulness. Thank you.
