About HAVEN TV Series:
Syfy's one-hour drama series Haven, starring Emily Rose (Jericho, Brothers and Sisters) is based on the novella The Colorado Kid from renowned author Stephen King. The series follows the shrewd and confident FBI agent Audrey Parker (Rose) as she arrives in the small town of Haven, Maine on a routine case. Before long, her natural curiosity lands her in the epicenter of activity in this curious enclave, which turns out to be a longtime refuge for people that are affected by a range of supernatural afflictions. The truth about Audrey's mysterious past (which she can't fully remember) starts to come out as well.Source: Info in the About HAVEN TV Series was taken from http://www.syfy.com/haven/about on 16/01/2013.

Somewhere between the ending of Season 1 and the waiting for the dvd box set of Season 2 turned me into a die-hard fan of this series. And most of the episodes in Season 2 did live up to my expectations. What baffled me is episode 12. It ended in a big, whoopping cliffhanger yet episode 13 did not continue from episode 12. Instead episode 13 was a self-contained show which has it's own plot and involves a totally different problem (WTF!) and it wasn't a cliffhanger.. Only episode 12 was left hanging... It totally confused me! However I really like the way the show is veering towards a romantic angle between Audrey and Nathan. Go Team Nathan!! Another thing I appreciate about this show is that the acting is good! It reminds me that it is so not Sanctuary. Or maybe watching the bad acting in Sanctuary made me more appreciative of the good acting skills in this show. Either way, I love the actors in this series. By the way, Lucas Bryant is pinging my gaydar, does anybody know if he is gay or not?... Anyway, another thing positive about this show is the cinematography, it really looks professional on the screen! It brought the supernatural world of Haven to life. Beautiful!! If not for that episode 12, Season 2 would have garnered a 5 out of 5 rating...
And of course I just gotta share with you my favourite scenes, because somebody's... sappy, sappy, sappy...

ReplyDeleteLucas? I don't think so.
I'm kinda in love with Duke ;)
I do still want to see this. :) Thanks for sharing about the second season!
ReplyDeleteLucas is married and has a little girl. Not gay. I do get a gay vibe from Eric Balfour though... a lot of gay pics of him on the net.
