"Haven trades on the government-agent-plus- unexplained-phenomena approach as well. The FBI's Audrey Parker (Brothers & Sisters' Emily Rose) travels to Maine to investigate a murder in the tiny town of Haven. Aside from attractive local law enforcement in the form of police detective Nathan Wuornos (Queer as Folk's Lucas Bryant), she comes across a person who has the power to whip up hailstorms, vicious winds, and blinding fog when upset.
.
"That's just the premiere's first case, and at the end of it, you see where Haven is going: Agent Audrey is an orphan, but finds a decades-old photo in the archive of the local newspaper that contains the image of a woman who looks just like...Audrey. Is this her birth mother? Why was she assigned a case that brought her to this town and this coincidence?
.
"Like a lot of TV in this genre, Haven has no coincidences. And like the heroes of Warehouse 13, Audrey seems fated to encounter many conspiracies and scares. The pilot doesn't possess much Stephen King grit — in fact, it's more like Syfy whimsy. But give it time; if Haven can become darker and more complex, as Warehouse 13 has, it could become fun summer sci-fi TV."
