Safe House

Watched 1st series and was on edge of seat - brilliant cast, plot and scenery. Couldn't wait to watch the 2nd series.. all going ok until the 4th episode - huh? What happened? Really... that's it? Talk about unfinished business. Very disappointing. Watch the 1st and enjoy, just don't bother with the 2nd as it will definitely not live up to your expectations.

....but that's it I'm afraid. I was taken in initially and then I was in disbelief. Ok, I get that without the negligence of the of the characters, from the police, the family to the safe house operators, there wouldn't be much of a story. I tried to accept this is tv, only to find that I was ahead of the plot...resulting in fast forwarding the final episode.

I was really enjoying the plot and potential twists,

the story line addressed some good real life scenarios with a dramatic effect which would of gripped many people, however the final episode was unrealistic in so many ways and so poorly constructed,

the ending was particularly poor. The acting was good and the scenery was spectacular set in a beautiful part of England I felt really let down by the fourth episode and indeed questioned whether that was the end and subsequently wished I hadn't wasted my time. This type of series seems to be on the up, however I like a real conclusion that is believable in some way, this was not. Would not watch a second season based on the ending here.

First series and episodes kept my interest and I wasn't expecting the ending or figured out the ex-officer's buddy was compromised and dirty. The scenery was beautiful and I sure could live in a place just like that. Now, the second series, I'm having a hard time getting into the story. Could have something to do with the abrupt change of characters and story line. I would have liked to see a continuation and culmination of the first series before going in a totally different direction with new cast and different characters. I'll try to watch Series 2 once again with an open mind, but I truly want to know what happened with the characters in Season One.

I watched both series pretty much back to back and had mixed opinions. The first series was amazing. From Christopher Eccleston to Harriet Cains the cast was amazing with a kick ass story. Although series 2 had a great cast with people like Sunetra Sarker and Ashley Walters, the story wasn't as good with not the best ending.
