"Haven" review by Suzanne
Premieres September 11 on Syfy

The show is returning soon, and I'm really looking forward to it! Syfy sent me the premiere episode, and it's a doozy. Like all of the Haven episodes, it takes you on a wild ride.

The major characters try to figure out what's happened when they're booted out of the lighthouse. Duke searches for Jennifer. Audrey is Mara. Nathan keeps searching for Mara after she handcuffs him to a post! She seems to enjoy being evil as she runs around town, looking for a way to bring back William, and torturing and shooting people. Everyone's looking for answers!

A horrific new Trouble surfaces amidst all of this chasing around, and Dave is in the hospital, having strange dreams about the door to the other world. Poor Nathan is so lovesick it almost hurts to see him. As a long-time fan of the show, and of their romance, I hope they end things happily this year! I'm so sad that this is their last season. It's such a good show.

Honestly, I don't think that Emily Rose gets the praise she deserves for her multiple roles. She's just as good as Tatiana Maslany.

I hope they explain all this year, like whether the Troubles are supernatural or alien or what! I'm sure that however they end it, it will be exciting and shocking. Like usual. Make sure you tune in....

I do have to say that I'm not too thrilled with the ending of the episode, but I have confidence that things will turn out better in the second episode... they're masters of the jaw-dropping ending.

ABOUT SEASON FIVE OF HAVEN

Haven returns to Syfy for its fifth season on a new night, Thursday, September 11 at 10 pm ET/PT.  Ms. Rose returns as Audrey Parker/Mara and Lucas Bryant returns as Nathan Wuornos.

Season 5 picks up immediately after the whirlwind events of the Season 4 cliffhanger, in which Nathan Wuornos (Lucas Bryant), Duke Crocker (Eric Balfour) and Audrey Parker (Emily Rose) finally succeeded in banishing the destructive Troublemaker William (Colin Ferguson) from their lives.

In the season 5 premiere episode, titled “See No Evil,” they learn that the victory is fleeting.  Duke is now a ticking time bomb, at death’s door and fighting to contain all the Troubles within him, while Nathan faces his greatest fear that Audrey — the woman he’s fought so desperately to save — may be gone forever. Making matters worse, Haven is hit by a strange new Trouble that’s supernaturally silencing town denizens.

Haven, based on the novella The Colorado Kid from renowned author Stephen King, follows former FBI agent Audrey Parker, who becomes a cop in the small town of Haven, Maine, and soon discovers the town’s many secrets, which also hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of her lost past.
