Save Me

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.

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

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.

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?

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
