Does anyone watch this? I first heard of it because Adam Copeland (Edge, my favourite wrestler) did some guest spots and became a series regular. I had no idea it was based off the town from The Colorado Kid and is supposed to have a fair bit of King references sprinkled throughout. Its been on for six years so I'm looking for some opinions from King fans if I should check it out or not.

Yes, loved the series. I've watched it through twice and have the final season BluRay on preorder (due in April). It isn't really closely related to The Colorado Kid other than mentioning him throughout the series. There are MANY King references throughout also. Bev Vincent has some great articles about the show you should find, included his visit to the set. I was very sad to see it end, but was very happy with the series overall.

It's a fun series that finds its legs as it goes along and develops a pretty good mythology. Under-appreciated, in my opinion.

Virtually every episode has at least one King reference; usually there are many. Here's my write up oif my visit to the set: http://www.bevvincent.com/2014/07/welcome-to-haven/

As you work your way through the series, if you choose to do so, you can find my season recaps at NewsFromTheDeadZone.com

Have you been keeping up with Edge on Canada Reads?

He does stuff on Canada Reads? I just heard him and Christian who did some episodes too on Jerichos podcast. When h3 injured his neck his journal on WWE.com was regular reading.

Yes, he's one of the five people championing a book this series -- it just started on Monday. He's quite eloquent in support of his selected novel. http://www.cbc.ca/books/canadareads/
