I'm a bit confused, and perhaps I need to stop watching anything.

First of all, I'm a sucker for British mystery, suspense, anything. I've seen thousands , from Hammer B movies to Masterpiece Theater ad infinitum. I am going out on a limb and saying I really enjoyed this. It concerns a teenage girl who goes missing after a party, and one by one, neighbors in a gated community are connected to it. I thought it was very well done.

From the reviews I read on this site, the general feeling seemed to be (1) it was a soap opera; (2) the acting was bad and one-dimensional; and (3) Michael C. Hall's attempt at a British accent was laughable.

First off, it was a miniseries, and because it continued from episode to episode, it had some soap opera elements. I didn't mind that. I found it suspenseful and intriguing. A few people said they weren't sure if it was a drama or a comedy. That is because there were a few segments that were dark comedy. Again, before today, I didn't know drama could not have any comedy in it and vice versa.

I have no understanding -NONE - of how anyone can say with a straight face, given their impressive list of credits, that Michael C. Hall, Amanda Abbington, Marc Warren, and Audrey Fleurot - all of whom I've seen do other things - can't act, are one dimensional, or bad. Ridiculous.

Okay, Michael C. Hall's accent. I've been to England, I have British friends, I watch enormous amounts of British shows -- and I fail to see what was wrong with his accent except that he didn't sound like Dexter.

At first I thought the people complaining were actually Brits - my sister lived in England, came home with a British accent, and her friends in England were still teasing her about her American accent - so they hear something we don't. But no. Sorry, I would love for someone to tell me what was wrong with his voice.

Anyway, I thought this was good, compelling, and kept me interested.

This series had me hooked after episode one which is rare for me. It reminded me a great deal of Broadchurch in relation to the twists and the possibility that anybody could be the perpetrator(s).

Some strong acting really drove the suspense and it was nice to see M C Hall's strengths as an emotional actor which is the complete opposite to his character in Dexter.

Overall I would give this an 8 out of 10. It kept me entertained and I watched all episodes in one sitting. My only slight grief I can not explain without spoilers so will leave it there.

Give it a go if you liked Broadchurch.

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 liked it. It's nice to see a series that has a head and a tail, that doesn't leave you in limbo at the end, vaguely aiming at possible sequels. Here we start with a murder and a disappearance in episode 1, and every next episode brings new clues (alongside new questions), so that more and more the mysteries get solved. While the script (by creator and famous thriler-writer Harlan Coben) keeps you on the edge of your chair until the last minutes of the last episode!

The acting is - as in any other British detective series - flawless by every character, up until in the smallest parts. But Michael C. Hall (Dexter, Six feet under) really stands out as the concerned, frustrated and gradually exasperated father who desperately tries to find his daughter, behaving in the process as a bull on the loose in a china-shop. Co-star Amanda Abbington is also great, but I kept being a bit distracted by her weird haircut. And special mention of the actors that played the family Marshall, who were very funny!

Greatly recommended!

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

I'm giving this a six because it kept me around (frustratingly so) long enough to want to see how it ends.

Plus, I like Michael C. Hall. As Dexter, he will forever be my favourite fictitious serial killer. As Dr. Delaney, I'm going to need him to NEVER DO A "BRIDDISH" ACCENT AGAIN!😟

How do so many people with a wide range of careers afford to live in a posh, gated community?

As for Jenny, she is a ridiculous character whose motivations are ALL stupid and irrational. No one should bother looking for her if she goes missing. NO ONE!!

Also, the girl who threw the party is beyond insufferable.

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 must admit I'm only here because of Dexter (I'm just joking !) . Michael C. Hall, I should say. It's been a long time, and so I looked. I haven't finished it yet, but so far, I'm glued to every episode because of new revelations every now and then.

I'm enjoying it. It's not Dexter (far from it). But I'm enjoying the different characters presented and the secrets that each of them is keeping...and how it will eventually play in the end.

And so the question is how "safe" are we, really? Maybe Jenny can answer that.

So, go ahead, watch !

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.

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

I'm amazed that so many people have slated this series.

I'm a pretty discerning viewer, with high standards in regard to production values, quality of writing directing and performance, and overall technical and artistic excellence. I'm a stickler for detail, violently object to having my intelligence as a viewer insulted, and am very critical of everything that I watch. But after avoiding this series (due to bad reviews) for some time, I eventually decided to watch it, expecting the worst.

Perhaps, then, my lowered expectations were partly responsible for me enjoying it so much. It certainly wasn't perfect, but I was gripped from beginning to end, and was very well satisfied with the overall quality of the production and all the elements I listed earlier.

I did feel that the last episode was a little rushed, and rather desperately flailed around trying to tie-up all the various narrative threads, but it was a satisfying (if somewhat predictable) conclusion.

My main concern before watching, having read numerous comments and reviews about it, was Michael C. Hall's accent. I have been a huge fan of his through Six Feet Under and Dexter, but had very low expectations of him being able to pull-off a convincing British accent. (Americans doing bad British accents is also a big pet peeve of mine!)

So I was frankly astonished at how well he did it. I am British, and speak with basically the same accent as his character. He sounded just like me, consistently and throughout, apart from two very brief and minor slips - neither of which would have betrayed him as an American (more likely a Brit with a regional accent who's had elocution lessons to sound less provincial).

Anyone knocking his accent in this is either just looking for ways to attack and fixing on an obvious target (though an unwarranted one) or else is unable to properly recognise or analyse accents because of their own poor ear for such things.

In my opinion, this was very much an above average series, and Hall was fabulous in it.

This is chock full of characters and side plots and quasi noirish plot, but like "The Five" it delves into silliness rather than solid drama. Not just one Surgeon, but two who have plenty of time to be Detectives. Two women Detectives, one with a quirky hairdo (with a husband living in a trailer in the garden), a comedy relief cockney/Indian family, a Mental Institution (De Rigueur) a long lost father, and worst of all a great French actress given a lousy role to play (but at least she doesn't try on a British accent like our hero does). It is entertaining and moves fast. Fast enough to ignore the plot holes? You decide.

I have only watched three episodes so far, but I do wonder whether it is normal that the only person who cares about the disappearance of a 16 year old girl is her father. He's the one doing all the investigation, whereas the police (including the father's girl) don't seem to care at all. Oddly enough, said father does not even bother said girlfriend trying to make her move her butt and find his daughter. If this nonsense continues, I don't think I'll watch much more.

I admit I am a sucker for British crime series, and I can add this one to the 'loved it' column. A great 'who-done-it' that keeps your interest from beginning to end. You have to pay attention as it jumps time frames occasionally, and it's a little difficult keeping the adult and teen characters straight, but it is well worth the 6 plus hours spent watching. Ignore the few negative reviews...some people insist on finding fault with every movie and show they watch, and consider themselves expert reviewers, full of film knowledge, when it fact, they are just full of themselves. Watch this one, you'll be glad you did.

Recent decades have brought along so many good crime dramas from UK and Scandinavia that it is easy to become pretentious and eager to find errors and unrealised solutions. But if the story has framework, the events are intertwined. the wrongdoer(s) do(es) not become obvious too soon and performances are far above average, then I have no reason to purse my lips. I liked Michael C. Hall here as well (he was neither Dexter Morgan nor David Fisher), but my biggest admiration goes to Audrey Fleurot whom I had memorized in some catchy French TV series and films.

Well, the teens were again performed by adults and there is a twist in the ending which I began to predict - but it did not create wtf! reactions. True, Safe is e.g. no Luther or Line of Duty, but definitely not a disappointment to be rated with a couple of points only.

I'm stunned at the amount of terrible reviews on here. People really do just come on the internet to troll and complain these days, don't they? Shocking.

Anyway, I absolutely loved this series! Had on my watch list for weeks so I'm glad I finally got the chance to watch it. Bit of a binge watch after work for a couple of days, would've made a decent Sunday watch too.

Excellent characters, fantastic acting and very Harlan Coben style flips and unexpected turns. I've read a few of his books too, and yet to be disappointed or properly predict anything correctly. Definitely did not expect that ending.

If you've read any Harlan's works, you'll love this. Even if you just like a thriller or a Binge-watch, give this a go. Be prepared for interesting story development each episode. Brilliantly scripted and well casted.

Love MC Hall I'll see almost everything of his, but- Was good in the 6 first episode,complex, well told, but theResolution was so lame. When you write something so complicated it's pity to turn it to a soap opera.

The story has potential, but god! It's awfully displayed and it has a lot of mistakes, stuff that doesn't happen in the real world happens, like ex: a police officer arrested a girl and had her all day in custody with no investigation or anything and let her go because she felt like it.

There were times when watching this show when I could not determine if it was intended to be a drama or a comedy. It seemed promising at the beginning but just kept going downhill until the ridiculous ending. FYI to some of the other reviewers: There are around 1000 gated communities in England.
