Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Haven Season 5 is worth clearing space for. Haven Season 5 uses its genre premise as cover for asking bigger questions. Haven's protectors are thrust into uncharted waters: Duke is now a ticking time bomb, fighting to contain the Troubles within him, while Nathan faces his greatest fear that Audrey—the woman he's fought so desperately to save—may be gone forever. Emily Rose and Lucas Bryant lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2014. What separates Haven Season 5 from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

For late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge, Haven Season 5 fits the bill. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Watch for Emily Rose in particular — the performance elevates the material. Satisfying on multiple levels.
