This series is pretty typical work of the Syfy network. The premise is based on a small town in Maine called Haven, where some people get supernatural powers for unknown reasons. After a while you get the feeling you are watching some version of X-Men and Heroes mixed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer. You know the show you are viewing is in trouble when they start casting pro-wrestlers in the second season. I continued to watch up to the third season on Netflix but it refused to get better.
Saying the show is based on a murder mystery by Stephen King, is like saying, Gilligan's Isle was based on the Titanic. The dialog and plot go nowhere fast. They can't seem to pull off the "I've got a big secret." no matter how hard they try. The series has a lack of suspense. Almost all the problems are solved by talking them out. Very few seem to have ethical issues even when innocent lives have been lost.
So if you haven't watched Haven, you are not missing anything life altering or even thought provoking. I watched X-Files, Warehouse 13, and Eureka. This one pales by comparison to those shows. I would call Haven one better than a night time soap opera.
