Save Me

Brilliant acting from Lennie James and Stephen Graham. Based around south London, this has a hint of nil by mouth about it. Filmed with a gritty darkness . Really enjoyable, even though the subject matter is depressing, well worth a watch.

I must admit I love crime dramas. Courtroom and police dramas are my thing so I can be pretty selective in what I watch. I've recently been disappointed by some of the series coming out from the UK (Trauma, Next of Kin and Collateral). They were too predictable and didn't leave me curious. Save Me on the other hand was incredible. The actors Lennie James, Stephen Graham, Alice May Feetham and Suranne Jones did an excellent job . I'm not going to give anything away, but if you are looking for a top notch crime drama with real characters which have you hanging on the edge of your sit then this is the one to watch.

Save me is a truly excellent watch, I must start by commending Lennie James, for his writing, acting and work rate, I get the impression he's a bit of a perfectionist, every aspect of this series is on point. The writing is fantastic, you're made to think you're watching a purely domestic drama, half way through comes the switch, and you realise you're faced with something much grittier.

It's a character driven series, with some superb performances, in particular I must compliment Stephen Graham, Alex Arnold, Suranne Jones and Lennie himself of course, all are incredible, each plays a complex character, but all with a sense of reality.

The first few episodes are casual, but once you reach part four, you're literally on a knife edge, the concluding episode is a harrowing, powerful and thought provoking watch, it brought me to tears.

I'm so glad we're getting a second series, as there are still plenty of questions. I would have to highlight some of the dialogue was muffled at times, we all seemed to be saying 'what was that' quite a lot, but that's the only minor gripe I had.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. 9/10

This show is in every way amazing , i serioulsy created an account just so you guys wont be discouraged from the negative reviews this had excellent acting ,great story line and very very much thrilling plot. D o yourself a favor and watch

Lennie James and Stephen Graham are excellent. It's a slow starter so don't give up after ep 1. Sky allowing you to download all 6 eps, if you can't wait for the weekly show. I found it a slightly disappointing at the end, with a few lose ends not resolved, series 2 maybe?
