    It is mediocre. Just that. The acting is quite subpar and the scenario seems both stretched and forced. All the side characters seem to constantly be making very questionable choices and unjustifiable actions and most of them are extremely unlikeable. It is a series that would probably go completely unnoticed if Dexter was not the one carrying it.

    Murder plot mixed with the lives and intricacies of a British gated community. While interesting at times, it's more often frustrating. Entire plotlines are contingent on someone's inability to tell the truth. Hall spends half his time with his mouth looking like D:

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Most characters were there to be red herrings, and not very convincing ones. As an example DC Emma Castle is shown surreptitiously taking photos of Peter who turns out to be her father. Why is she taking photos, she knows who he is? Very cheap tricks to try and add suspense. Barely watchable.… Expand

    With committed performances (some of which are clearly aware of the ludicrous story they’re in) and a brisk pace, Safe earns its status as a soapy pleasure and should entertain Netflix viewers craving engaging distraction.

    Safe stays largely on the surface, as each of the parties chases down the next piece of evidence. Hall is fine, as the script moves him around the chessboard feverishly.

    Safe is one of those series, like HBO’s “Big Little Lies,” that focuses on the lives of the beautiful and the well-to-do. It doesn’t suggest the rich are just like us. It suggests they are even more miserable, and in the case of Safe, probably quite monstrous. That’s a story that translates just about everywhere, apparently.
