    I've been looking forward to this - it's got all the makings of a great tv show...
    Based on a novella by Stephen King, it's on SyFy which already means bonus points, and it's got Eric Balfour (24, Buffy The Vampire Slayer) in it...
    Having said that, I've got a sickening feeling that I'm gonna be grossly disappointed when I watch it tomorrow...

    It's getting average reviews but the one thing that most reviews agree is that it has a lot of promise.

    I watched the pilot and had mixed feelings about it. It looks like it has potential to have a good background story (what happened to her mother, whats her boss doing etc.) but the pilot itself was average at best.
    It very much came across as a show thats not sure what its trying to be, and I thought the dialogue was a bit wooden/forced.
    Anyway, saying all that I'll watch a couple more episodes, maybe it'll settle down and find its feet.

    I really liked it... In no way the greatest pilot I've ever seen, but enjoyable and watchable... I like the characters and I really wanna know more about the primary story arc...
    I felt it had a real Supernatural vibe about it - would've been great if Jensen Ackles or Jared Padalecki had shown up...

    I watched the first episode last night and enjoyed it. As CaptainNegative said it may not be the greatest thing ever to grace our screens but its certainly enjoyable and I'll be watching it next week.

    The first episode was alright. Will tune in the for the next one, as I think the show has potential to be good.

    Like other said the show has potential but so far any humour in it has been terrible. Still I would rate it as one of the best new recent show so far. They should take a leaf out of Supernatural which always made me laugh.

    i liked it, will fit in perfectly with eureka and warehouse 13, syfy have been building up a nice off-season schedual the last 3 or 4 years, not excellent shows by any means, but just shows that will keep you interested,

    ill deffinately be tuning in next week,

    I didn't really like it. The acting was awful, cringeworthy. I might follow it for a few episodes to see if it improves, but I won't hold my breath.

    she poped up here and there, i last saw her on stargate atlantis, but she was one of the leads in another show "dead zone" never heard of it, ran for 6 seasons, and it was also a steven king show, she must have a thing for steven king scripts,

    Thought the acting and dialogue was pretty stiff/forced, story has some potential, Il give it another episode or two to see if it improves.

    Emily Rose - sounds like a character out of a Steven King novel.

    thats seem right seein as it based on a stephen king book, instead of being a caracter, her name got her the role, they should have named the caracter emily rose for the laugh:D

    i dunno i never seem to have much hassle seeing past mediocre acting, i always like the story more that the people tellin the story, and some times the acting makes the story better, its really here and there, i just seem to cope with it either way,

    Second episode wasn't bad, may as well keep watching it since there ain't much more on atm.

    I thought it was a bit better then the pilot, just a bit....very slow arc progression....but we know there are weird things happening in Haven, and happened before. Male cop dude is clearly involved, maybe he's dead?....he can't feel pain.

    I got a "The Prisoner" flashback with that metal ball rolling down the street, half expecting it to bounce! :-)

    It's a slow burner, i'm not sold on it tbh...but i'll give it another ep. or two.

    just watched the first two episodes. it's good for off-season viewing. not the greatest tv show but definitely watchable. i'm getting the feeling of "weird thing of the week" though but it's something to watch during the summer anyways :)

    i recognised emily rose from brothers & sisters as well. took me a while though :D
