The title really says it all.
I had watched the first few episodes when the show premiered, and I wasn't impressed. I don't think it was the acting; in general, the actors whose work I'm familiar with have always left me at least entertained. Nor do I think the problem was directing, although that's harded to get to the root of. My guess is that the issue lies in the writing.
Early on, when we're first meetng te characters, they're interesting enough. Like Lost, we've got a huge mystery which is being spoon fed to us as we learn about wh these people are, what they're up to, and what they're hiding.
All too soon the honeymoon is over. The story starts to make some miraculous twists and turns which make little sense, except that they're what the writer needed to have happen. Finally, also like Lost, the conclusion is meant to make people feel good without adequately explaining what is happening. In the case of HAven, however, the story dictates characters actions in ways which make no sense.
