Let’s face it – Unexplained phenomena happens. And it needs to be
dealt with, rather than ignored or dismissed as we tend to do most
times. Haven is a show that has been described as ‘off the wall’ by keen
Indian viewers. Because it deals with the occurrence and tackling of
just such phenomena, by former FBI Special Agent Audrey Parker (Emily
Rose), who arrives in small town Haven, in Maine, USA, on a routine
round before finding herself inexplicably drawn to the place and its
‘troubles’ – supernatural occurrences that mysteriously beset residents
here.
Using her own heightened empathy, she and local Police partner Nathan Wuornos
(Lucas Bryant) attempt to help those who need them most – a man who
shadow kills people, a lady who sends off electric charges that makes
human hair stand on end with static, everyday machines that acquire a
life force all their own… In this supernatural drama series (loosely
based, apparently, on Stephen King’s The Colorado Kid) Parker finds her
choices leading her to clues in her own personal quest – information on a
mother she hadn’t known. Nothing is coincidence as they say, and in
inclusive India, no stranger to occurrences ofinexplicable happenings,
this show is finding particular resonance. Eminently watchable, and a
family bonder,
too, given that shared thrill of creepiness whilst watching – only
perhaps not for the very young/children, as with most shows in the
horror/supernatural genre.
Haven airs on weekdays at 10pm on Zee Cafe.
