Haven – I Want to Go To There

Haven’s first season felt like the little show that could. This wackiness-of-the-week procedural inspired by Stephen King’s short story The Colorado Kid inherited the best of the horror-maestro’s style – a smart pace for the strange and an obsession with the psychological oddities underneath the weird.

The second season promises the same slate of genre-fun yarns. The season opener called down the biblical plagues on the town, which may feel like a bit of hell warmed over once too much, but the solution to the town’s troubles is unexpected – and fits Haven’s entertainingly odd logic. The show likes to run at a clip, which is nice, and when you give it a chance, has some pretty clever moments: the homage to King’s own IT early on was both dramatic and well-spun.

Unlike a few other SyFy offerings, Haven’s starkly lit characters are developed in perfectly integrated story points. With two new possibly fatal femmes to twist up the town’s well of plots, Haven promises a freshly fetching batch of small-town terror and the scene-bite soul searching it dredges up.

	Haven is not just for Stephen King Fans I really love Haven especially since I'm a huge Stephen King. The series was originally based on an original SK story but has really made it's own new story line. The town is littered with people who have "troubles" which they can't control. Many people might be turned off by the SK name but this show really isn't a "horror" story but a sci fi thriller.
