Review of Haven

Haven (2010–2015)
7/10
Haven has Unique Story lines, Beautifully Filmed

Warning: Spoilers
I'll just jump right in and say SyFy has a good series with "Haven." The main characters of FBI Agent Audrey Parker and Haven Deputy Nathan Wournos have their own quirks. Parker is uptight, brusque and by-the-book, while Wournos is laid-back and literally feels no pain. Together, they make an interesting pair. Of course it's been done before but the stories so far have not.

It seems that everyone in Haven has a secret, and each episode reveals those secrets. After she is sent to Haven to find a fugitive, Agent Parker stays to find out more about her past (which may be her birth mother and family ties). I think her character could use a bit more energizing because she seems unfazed by even extraordinary events. For example, she's more aggravated than shocked by being hit by lightning in the first episode, and mysteriously bound by rope in another.

One thing that stands out besides the decent story-telling, is the absolutely gorgeous scenery. Although the setting is supposed to be Haven, Maine, it's actually filmed in Canada.

UPDATE: I've watched all the episodes in the Second Season, and so far...so good.
