So I got around to seeing the pilot for that new joint on the SciFi channel, Haven. In case you're wondering, it's another show in the long line of attempts at creating a new modern-day Twin Peaks (a challenge, considering only about eight and a half people have actually watched that show). In layman's terms, that translates to a barely-coherent plot, a murder in a small town, the FBI, and characters that desperately try to be "quirky", because lord knows it's so darn hard to come up with actual character personalities when you're a writer.
So imagine my surprise when Haven ain't actually half bad. I had to hold back vomit during scenes of cops grabbing evidence in their bare hands and stomping all over the place like the ****ing Iron Giant, but aside from that, the show is surprisingly likeable. I might just miss it when it inevitably ends up being forced into a [dukar]ty timeslot and being cancelled.
So, anyone else have any thoughts on the show?
