Haven (TV Series) The Lighthouse (2013) User Reviews

Predictable but dramatic

[jimmietee · 7/10 · 27 April 2021]

They let go of all the whining and focused on the characters. Everything that happened was 100% predictable but fun to watch rather than the weekly mess it has been this season.

Good show good episode but wimpy characters

I just finished watching episode 13 of season 4 on Netflix (I love watching with no commercials). There are spoilers coming so quit reading if you have not seen this one yet. Audrey finally finds out that her original personality is a wicked woman named Mara and she and William are responsible for all the troubles in Haven. William forces her into a situation where she has to give troubles to a couple of people in order to prevent a baby with trouble from killing hundreds perhaps thousands of people or more before it learns to control the trouble. She has to give Duke his trouble back again. Duke asks for it back because the father of the baby asks him to kill him in order to rid his family of the trouble so his baby can live a normal life and people stop dying. Duke gets a little more than he expected; giving troubles is not an exact science. A plan is constructed to send William through a portal, out of their dimension and into a horrible place of punishment. Four people have to stand around a large Guard symbol on the floor in the basement of the lighthouse and open a door to the other dimension, one of them being William. William begs not to be sent back but nobody is having it. When it comes time for Nathan to shove him through the door he acts like a pussy, hardly trying to push him. I swear, if that was the best Nathan can do, he has no business being a cop, or even pushing a broom. Finally Audrey decides she should be the one to send him off and grabs him to throw him through. There is an electric spark when they touch, not the first time. Every time she touches him in this episode, especially after giving troubles to people, her connection to William becomes stronger, and her memory of her former self becomes more clear and seems to have more influence on her. As she grabs him and shoves him through the door the connection passes the tipping point; William is gone through to the other dimension but Audrey's personality is gone as well. Mara's personality takes control of her and she asks at the end of the show "alright, who is going to help me get William back?" Serves Nathan right, he wimped out, again, and this time it cost him. If he had been able to muster up his balls for once and thrown William threw the door Audrey would not have had to touch him and she might have been able to remain in control.

The other wimpy character is Dave. He and his brother always carry on like a gay couple anyway. But this episode he really wimps out badly.

meh

I think they should have finished the series when Audrey went into the barn. Bringing her back - again - as someone else just feels contrived. This entire season has been irritating. Maybe if there had been a hint from the beginning that she was responsible for the original troubles, then maybe this season would feel logical. But it's like they just wanted to prolong the series. And it's hard to believe the character of William. The actor playing him just isn't a 'bad guy' actor. (And I really like him in general.)

It would have been more interesting if there was an explanation as to why 'Mara' did what she did or what exactly she is/was. But this entire season has been a bunch of hand wringing and whining.

Each of the characters do things that any sensible person wouldn't do. And it think it was obvious from the first season that Vince and Dave were involved in everything. And honestly, why would Mara and William stay in only Haven. Why not wreck their havoc all over the world?

All of the actors are good. They just weren't given the greatest material. At this point, the whole series just keeps getting cheesier.

I will probably finish the series just to see what they actually do to wrap it up. But I think they jumped the shark during this season.
