New revelations and mysteries continue to crop up, and I continue to watch, somewhat astounded by the show’s bizarrely weaponized inconsistency. Tom’s investigation is helped along by his best friend Pete (Marc Warren), his new girlfriend Sophie (Amanda Abbington), who happens to be a local detective, and Emma (Hannah Arterton), who arrives for reasons she won’t divulge and whom swiftly becomes Sophie’s partner. Here, for the sake of my word count, is what has happened so far. It can’t excel as a serious drama as it simply isn’t one, but it would take a more resolute man than me to not tune in on Thursday and find out what happens next.
SAFE NETFLIX SERIES
The eight-episode series feels like something his addled imagination might dream up a typically layered and convoluted suburban mystery. Safe was written by acclaimed American novelist Harlan Coben, a few of his 30-odd novels I’ve read. They never do – at least not in the episodes that were (eventually) provided to press almost a month after the embargo lifted but only two days before the show’s May 10 release date. It’s exhausting but oddly compelling in a weird, off-kilter way you find yourself eager to devour the next episode, in no small part because you’d like things to start making sense. Every single one of his seemingly upstanding neighbors is hiding something – from a divorce to a sex-scandal to a dead body – and could potentially be a suspect. But Tom hails from a weird private enclave built for security and privacy, an upper-class warren of bizarre secrets and endless deceit. That Hall’s character, Tom, doesn’t know how public transport works is hardly a surprise – except it is, as everyone knows that isn’t how train stations operate, providing they choose to operate at all. One of the inexplicable ways he does this is by turning up at a train station and asking commuters if they’ve seen her, despite the fact she caught a train 24 hours prior. Hall is undeniably the selling point of Safe, which makes the accent a problem because it’s difficult to take seriously, even when he turns amateur gumshoe and starts delving into the mystery of his daughter’s disappearance. That’s the first thing about Safe that – by design or otherwise – makes no real sense. He speaks in a consistent British accent that is often impeccable and somehow never once believable. Hall plays a widowed pediatric surgeon struggling to come to terms with his wife’s death and relate to his two daughters, especially the rebellious Jenny (Amy James-Kelly), who goes out to a party one night and never returns.
