Stephen King and “light-hearted sci-fi procedural” don’t sound like they go together, and honestly, The portThe SyFy original series, loosely based on King’s book, The Colorado Kid. The book is about a mysterious death in a small town in Maine that is investigated by two local newspaper reporters, while the series includes mysterious deaths but revolves around a town full of unexplained supernatural events. If Buffy again NCIS they met and had a child, it will be this show, which is impossible to take seriously but it is one of the lightest, most breath-taking watches available today.

Problems

The town of Haven is plagued by what the residents call “The Troubles,” a sudden burst of paranormal activity characterized by strange powers that grip the residents. The usual “Story of the Week” format focuses on something out of the ordinary, from mysterious murders in the night to earthquakes or the freely pyrokinetic. Investigating these crimes is the new town’s Audrey Parker (played by Emily Rose), joined by local officer Nathan Wournos (Lucas Bryant), and beginning in Season 2, WWE Hall of Famer Edge aka Adam Copeland, and what begins easily (due to a rare burst of energy hundreds) quickly turns into a mystery that spans generations.

It takes a while for the big picture to become clear, and by then, the show has gone haywire with secret organizations, different dimensions, and the same people playing their evil twins in a soap opera twist as much as possible. Anyway X files again Battlestar Galactica they ended up losing the plot in their final seasons, and at least with The portit’s a fun ride to the finish line.

He tells the perfect story

And there is an ending. The port aired for five seasons on SyFy, it tells a complete story between all the “Case of the Week” episodes, the bottle episodes (the prelude is a tribute to Agatha Christie. And Then They Were Not is a highlight), and a guest star show. Among the familiar faces passing through town are Colin Ferguson (from the SyFy series Eureka), William Shatner, Edge’s best friend forever and the world’s greatest Dad, Christian, aka William Reso, Jason Priestly of the 90s, once Battlestar Galactica’s Michael Hogan.

The Last of Its Generation

I’ve been a sucker for this generation of SyFy originals, ever since Eureka again Store 13 to A holy place again The portbeing simple, simple watches that don’t require much from the viewer. The equivalent of a bag of potato chips, none of these games are going to fill you in or have any deep, philosophical messages to fall into, but what they are is incredibly entertaining from start to finish. Of course, like SyFy’s originals, the crew had to be creative with their budgets, and the shows can look…cheap…compared to today’s million dollar broadcast shows, but that’s part of the charm.

You can’t compare The port in Stephen King’s definitive series of the same Red Rose, Castle Rockor The standalthough it is full of small references to his large catalog of work, but it is still better than The Langoliers again Under the Dome. If you’re in the mood for a new sci-fi show to binge on, you can stream it for free on Amazon Freevee or Sling TV.
