Chuck, Fringe, and Haven: Story arc similarities
I noticed a pattern.
Chuck, Fringe, and Haven all follow a similar story arc with their male and female lead characters.
The story arc goes like this: a female government agent arrives in town for a specific case. She teams up with a man who has secrets (some he knows about; some he isn’t aware of). They start off in a professional relationship. Later it turns romantic. Then, things change:
- Man loses woman
- Woman takes on a new identity
- Woman returns (but is she still the same person?)
This cycle happens at least twice in each show, but despite these similarities, each show explores this story arc differently.
Let’s take a look, show by show. (Spoilers ahead. And for simplicity, I’m leaving out most of the sci-fi inner workings in these shows.)
