Haven is like CSI meets The Twilight Zone. Haven, Maine—actually Lunenburg—is a small town with lots of bizarre things going on, from freak weather to psychic neighbours to people who draw voodoo dolls. The weirdest and most unbelievable part of this town is that nobody seems to care or notice. That is until FBI agent Audrey Parker (Emily Rose) comes to town to investigate a single case and is compelled to stay—the bureau be damned! She teams up with local cop Nathan Wuornos (Lucas Bryant) who delivers a stunning portrayal as a still, lifeless LL Bean model. The show overall is safe and predictable, unlike the Stephen King novel it’s very loosely based on, The Colorado Kid. Only for supernatural obsessives or fans of our delightful Nova Scotia scenery.
