    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. I started watching at the second season, so I'll admit that I was lost in regards to the plot, but lost or not the absolute lack of emotion from this show is just grating. Everyone is so...passive. It's not the acting, it's the writing; the towns falling apart, all h*** is breaking loose (sometimes literally), and yet, no one is disturbed, frightened, angry, or anything else. People die left and right and yet not one character is the least bit phased, or even tries to stop it. While most shows focusing on the supernatural involve characters fighting or solving supernatural problems, Haven's "heroes" (if you can call them that) spend every episode appeasing the curse of Haven. For example [spoiler alert], in the episode "Love Machine", when all the machines begin to come to life and kill people in order to force the town mechanic to stay, their "solution" is to force the town mechanic to stay (with the exact emotionless line "Let [your beloved] go to Florida, you have to stay in Haven"). To bad "Storm of the Century's" demonic antagonist didn't go to Haven, they would have given him every kid in town in a heart beat.… Full Review »

Thanks to an increased focus on the deeper mysteries of the town and Audrey's relation to it I found myself much more interested in watching it. It still suffers from a lot of the same problems. Compelling new characters get written out almost as quickly as they are introduced and some of the individuals case episodes are really dumb. The writing still needs some more consistency, but the overall season is an improvement on the first and it benefits on having a steady villain presence throughout.

    This is by no means all that great of a show, but at least it's showing some improvement relatively early on. One oddity that stands out is that the penultimate episode of season 2 ends on a cliffhanger that felt like it should have been the season finale, but goes on for just one more episode that ignores all of that before concluding. It was a weird way of squeezing in a Christmas themed episode that broke the flow of the continuity.    … Full Review »
