Safe Home

I admit I had to steel myself to watch Safe Home, and initially did so mainly because I thought it was such a 'worthy' project. However, while saying Safe Home is 'enjoyable' sounds too flippant, this show is definitely not an 'eat your greens' viewing experience. Of course, it deals with a very confronting topic, but does so sensitively, and delivers its message(s) via well-constructed-thriller and engrossing-workplace-drama plots. In short, Safe Home is absolutely gripping, and really well acted and well written. All the cast are great, and Aisha Dee is superb in the lead. Congratulations to all involved!

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.

I started watching this series because I liked the title. I didn't read about it or watch any trailers. There are some plot twists in it that had me enthralled. I'm glad that this project came to fruition. People need to be able to see the many faces of domestic violence and abuse. The story this is centered around is one that really makes you think. And the side stories that depict different types of abuse are really engaging, because you want to know if they get out of their situation. Then when they're free of the abuse you can see the shift in their demeanor and outlook. I hope they make more episodes.

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.

Wow. There's a lot to say about how this topic of discussion can effect so many lives and who it effects. We think of family violence as name calling or a playful punch on the arm but it is so much more then that.

I watched all 4 episodes and I congratulate the cast and crew who brought this to life it could not have been easy.

Aisha Dee as Phoebe in a world she doesn't understand and trying to make a journo understand what is going on, her depth and emotion to this cannot be understated, she played this to perfection.

The names that were attached to this and when I saw them on screen was like "Oh hey I know them from this light hearted role." that was my first thought with Diana played by Janet Andrewartha from Neighbours, what a return to the screen for her, such a hard role to play someone being controlled by this she played it perfectly.

The intertwining stories and subject matter make it a hard watch but it needs to be watched we can no longer be quiet about Family violence when it out there and not going away.
