Based
on Stephen King's The Colorado Kid, Haven is a SyFy
Channel series that picks up after our Heroes victor of the evil
William. After having successfully banished him into The Void, a
gateway into another dimension, Nathan and Duke are devastated to
discover that the Audrey Parker they know and love has disappeared.
Instead, she now goes by Mara and has unusual powers. Herself
responsible for creating century old trouble, Mara raises hell at
every turn throughout the season with her big plans for gaining
control over the small town of Haven. Featuring a cast of cool
characters including witches and demons, this supernatural sci-fi
show most closely reminded me of Grimm.
Having
not watched the show from start to finish, I found it pretty easy to
pick up from the start and think that it exceeded by initial
impression of it. Though the cast are made of pretty faces, the
story is interesting and leaves some interesting breadcrumbs along
the way. There are moments of unique imagery, including a shock wave
that levels a light house on an island, that specifically caught my
eye. For fans of Stephen King, I would definitely suggest checking
this out.
