Safe Home

Growing up in a household where domestic violence had been present and watching this series there is a whole new understand on why "people don't run" because they can't they are stuck in a system that has let them down and will keep letting them down. This series was even more of an eye opener for me and I grew up with it and sometimes friends did as well. Phoebe is the optimistic one and all the other characters at the law firm are all that, but to a different degree, the stories told at the centre and the lives of everyone who walks through those doors are changed in an instant. I suggest if you do watch this go gently, you are going to be ok and help is available.

I just discovered this short series on a streaming channel.

Of course it takes place in Australia, but I have no doubt women succumb to the same mistreatment or violence worldwide. I have never been so informed of this particular theme, and even though the information is presented in a short television series, the actors do a wonderful job of capturing the viewer and bringing one into the fold.

Although the Safe Home jumps around quite a lot between the affected individuals - and sometimes the jumping kind of confused me - the dynamics of Safe Home says there is a lot more to be told and just 4 episodes does not fill the void.

Streaming has exposed international television series on an even playing field, and Australia can certainly hold its own against the best in the world. This series is the best I've seen. Wow.... Brilliantly played story, yet painful to digest the truth it represents. This is frighteningly real, yet presented so peacefully - like a perfect picture of a horrible event. Melbourne is well presented as a local would experience it - barely a token cafe or tram to be seen (thankfully), but some genuine inner north urban represented. All involved in this production should be immensely proud of the beautifully respectful story told of such an awful subject - a must see.

A more important tv series for all to watch I can't think of! I watch a lot of tv series & this was utterly fascinating! The subject matter is ignored by the masses because it's easier to act like it's not happening than to do something about it! Powerhouse acting all around & I was left guessing u til the end of this first of hopefully many seasons! I must know what happens next to these characters that anyone with a heartbeat will connect with! Great storytelling at its best and the limited episodes of 4! I can't recommend this series enough & I'm ver much looking forward to more from the creators of this series! Australia really has some good content to add to vast abundance of great content to view!

My god this was a good mini series. I'm desperate for this to be made into a full series, there are just so many stories that could be told.

This show was heartbreaking. It shows you that everyone is in danger of family violence, not matter your age, social class, gender, race...please pay attention to friends and colleagues and when someone asks for help give it to them.

In regards to the show, the premise is new and fresh. It's extremely realistic. The acting is very well done, especially by the main actress. It had my attention from the beginning, the mystery had me guessing up until the end. A couple of coincidences but otherwise a great show.
