Safe

Safe is about a family living in a sort of a community. After the loss of his wife, he is trying to move on with his daughters and new girlfriend. But everything falls apart when is daughter turns out missing after a party, and everyone seems to have one small bit of a puzzle, which is otherwise also connected to a mysterious shared past.

Michael C Hall plays the father who was never there, and is now desperately searching for his daughter in a series that brilliantly merges flashbacks with strong storytelling. Besides Hall, the supporting cast is amazing as well.

The minus, is the stupidity that appears more and more. Decisions like confronting bad people alone, instead of informing the police, thrusting unknown people and not your own family, not recognizing blatant lies etc. etc. All this is used to create tension and momentum, but wouldn't it be refreshing if series depended less on stupid decisions and find more creative ways to expand a story? Still, this series is interesting and exciting and absolutely worth a watch.

I loved the series although MC Hall's British accent was awkward! The series gets nicely complex until Ep 6 when the underlying thread becomes evident and thus predictable ending even the final twist was seen a mile away. That said, it doesn't take away from viewing as it still engrossing albeit you know how it will end. It is also clearly a British production which is far superior to any US broadcast network junk one sees on major networks. All in all I recommend watching it

Its very nice to see Michael C Hall again, his acting is perfect he shows just the right emotions witch every human will show if you're daughter or son goes missing. I've just seen the first episode it begins to show you who the characters are. Nice and loving people but are they really?

You can clearly see there are some father daughter problems but what they are is at this point unknown which makes you guess. What secrets is she keeping from me, and why?

He completely trusts his daughter but when see goes missing he tries to find out who her friends are. which aren't the kind he was hoping for.

The first episode begins slow but you feel the tension building and at the end of the episode there lies the climax you'll want. And hurry to the next episode.

It's not a bad show....the acting is better than average. Dexter is good. The end is a twist....honestly I liked it and I'm tired of picking shows apart....I binge watched it in two days and I enjoyed it all...

It's not the best plot but it keeps you guessing....character development is rapid and fails in many ways...

I am an addict of thrillers, mysteries, whodunits, and it's fair to say they've declined in number and quality. Then came Safe, and I have to be honest, I loved from start to finish, it was gripping, intelligent, thrilling, and at times very uncomfortable viewing. As has been mentioned, similar to Broadchurch, but slightly more of a thriller feel to it, more action then Broadchurch.

Two episodes stand out, the finale is brilliant, so action packed, so gripping. The best viewing comes from Part 4, which is intense, dramatic, and features a scene which in today's climate holds perhaps a little too much realism.

It's multi layered, the writing is superb, I'm hoping we get more of this style of show in the future. Amazing acting throughout, plaudits to Michael C. Hall, who is superb from start to finish. Amanda Abbington, Audrey Fleurot and Marc Warren also stand out.

I was a bit dubious, but do yourself a favour, watch it, it's fantastic drama. 9/10
