Haven

As other productions work with movie pop-culture, here the authors attempt to work with American literary pop-culture with a special focus on Stephen King (which in fact is clear from the name of the series itself). They try, but not with complete success. And also it’s absurd how it takes itself absolutely seriously, which is made worse by the fact that the authors seem to be convinced that the wannabe wisecracks are funny and the chemistry of the central duo works. Even the pilot, which is one of the better episodes, is the finest of everything that is rotten here (which is, for your information, absolutely everything). If this were a web series by a bunch of enthusiasts, it would still be unbearable, but at least the “little amateurs" would have a good excuse. (10.03.2011)
