\"Haven<\/a>
Lucas Bryant as Nathan of Haven.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Young FBI agent Audrey Parker (Emily Rose) is sent to Maine on a mission to capture an escaped convict. However, the convict is already dead when she gets there, and despite the sheriff\u2019s determination that it is an accident, he reluctantly lends her deputy chief\/his son Nathan (Lucas Bryant<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Almost as soon as they start searching for clues, Audrey realizes that something isn\u2019t quite right about the residents. Some of them have supernatural powers, such as mood swings affecting the weather or the ability to shove you a couple of feet with one little push. Oh, and her new friend Nathan can\u2019t feel pain. Or anything else for that matter\u2026<\/p>\n

When the mystery is solved, another mystery-possibly one that can unlock Audrey\u2019s past surfaces. She asks a couple of weeks from her boss, who lets her all too willingly to stay.<\/p>\n

Then there is Duke (Eric Balfour), the charming, and not-always law-abiding guy who Nathan isn\u2019t fond of.<\/p>\n

The sheriff is impressed by case-solving skills, so Audrey joins Nathan in his office. \u00a0They become good friends, with implications that maybe we might expect more in the future.<\/p>\n

But our main concern in Haven is not if Nathan and Audrey will get together. We want to know about Lucy Ripley, who looks exactly like Lucy- and looks to be the same age as Lucy. Yet she was here when Nathan and Duke were just kids and they don\u2019t remember anything about the day (the day The Colorado Kid was murdered)\u2026.<\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

Loosely based on Stephen King\u2019s The Colorado Kid, Haven has found a nice balance between the micro events we deal with each episode and the clues as we try to solve who Audrey is, and also learn that maybe things about Nathan and Luke aren\u2019t so straightforward either. The effects could have been better, but the drama\/mystery \/relationships are well balanced. Some episodes are better than others, but overall it is great for anyone who loves his supernatural without the horror or extreme romances.<\/p>\n

As much as I love my vampires and werewolves, it is refreshing and fun where the supernatural come from humans who are just \u201ctroubled\u201d. We are curious to see why it started, and how it is all related to Lucy.<\/p>\n
