When I realised I wanted to write an article about Haven<\/em>, I didn’t know what angle to take. I started by asking several people if they had, a) heard of the show, or b) watched the show. Most people said they had heard of the show but never watched it. An alarming number said that had never heard of it, and only one said that they had watched it. My goal then very quickly became to write an article to convince the unaware that this is an investment worth making!<\/p>\n Firstly, I have to admit that until around 2015, I had no knowledge of the show, Haven<\/em>. I had never watched it or even heard of it, yet the show ran on SYFY for five seasons between 2010 and 2015. I only found it whilst surfing through the endless sea of mostly unheard-of trash that litters Amazon Prime video. I clicked the arrows of the remote furiously, skipping through the thumbnails until one popped up that stopped me. That thumbnail was for Haven<\/em>.<\/p>\n My next admission is that I only stopped clicking because of one line written on the image. That line, \u2018Based on The Colorado Kid<\/em>, by Stephen King\u2019, was enough for me. I had heard of The Colorado Kid<\/em>, but had never read it. Around that time, I had finished watching all the available episodes of another King adaption, Under the Dome<\/em>, which is also on Amazon Prime. I had loved that show and figured another King show would fill the void left by the last one, so I pressed OK and added it to my list. I very rarely find something and start watching immediately. Instead, I have to go online and find myself a trailer or two first.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019ll confess straight off the bat that I am a huge King fan. I have an extensive collection of King books that take up most of the space in my bookcases, mainly owing to the fact that I have several copies of the same works. That, however, is a story for another time. I will point out though, that I am looking at this show objectively and not as a fan boy!<\/p>\n
