Save Me

Have just finished watching this series and have to say its one of the best british series i have seen for a while. The whole cast is perfect and the acting superb - Especially from Lennie James, Stephen Graham, Alice May Feetham and Suranne Jones who really put in powerful performances.

Episode 1 starts off a little slow but stick with it , the final 2 episodes are really tense and gripping to watch and the bond between Lennie James and everyone that surrounds him (especially Stephen Grahams character) is something special on screen.

Its no secret that Lennie James has confirmed series 2, there are a few lose ends unresolved in episode 6 that some people were a bit disapointed with but i think it was clever writing from Lennie and the whole feel of the show was gritty, tense and brilliantly done. Really looking forward to more episodes and would love to see Lennie write and act in more gritty powerfully acted shows like this in the future

Good points: this has great character development, each with their own quips and nuances, excellent acting especially from Lennie James, and submerges the viewer to working-class inner city London and uncomfortable insights into a murkier world. Highlights the plasticity of people - no one is all good or all bad - most are shades of grey. Overall, a fantastic and unconventional drama.

Bad points: a few moments where you would not expect a character or human being for that matter to act or react, making these moments implausible. Ending also a let down for some.

Season two is as dramatic and compelling as season one. Same characters, well drawn, with a couple of additions. Jason Flemyng is wonderful in an underwritten part, and both young girls (Grace and Jody) put in powerful performances. This is a great drama however it does bug me in the extreme that the final episodes of both series offered nothing but set ups for future subsequent series. Please offer your audience some kind of resolution, or extend the number of episodes to do the same. This trickery is very off-putting and disappointing.

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.

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?
