When I started to watch this series, I just wanted to see another Heroes, or The 4400. I was happy because I've got what I was looking for. The special abilities were interesting and varied, the little stand alone episodes were enjoyable, then a main thread has been appeared. That was a nice idea, and the writers were able to skillfully use it. In the beginning of this series it was a funny joke series like Eureka, without any real scientific explanation. But it is getting closer to a very good sci-fi series and I love it. Now Haven is my primary series if I want to watch sci-fi. The main characters are very lovable, and there are several very interesting mysteries which served us well dosed. Some characters evolve over time, but mostly in focus only the relationship between the characters. The computer made effects are pretty nice, and it is not overdosed. The main actor, Emily Rose, is quite good in her role, but she is sadly not as good as Anna Torv in Fringe, but it is not so annoying that we could't enjoy the show. So I recommend this series, and if you like sci-fi, it is worthy to watch even if the beginning is a bit slow and silly. Be persistent, it will be better after the first season.
