![]() I liked how the two detective characters- Emma and Sophie- were so different from each other, meaning we got two very different investigation styles. Those who looked guilty initially ended up being perfectly innocent and the innocent ones ended up being the worst of all- the cast and characters on this show really was great, some really top class acting all around. I think all of the characters had a darkness to them, meaning any of them could have been involved. Each had their own storyline, some relating to Jenny’s dissapearance and some having nothing to do with it at all- it was our job to work out and distinguish the two. The ensemble cast aspect of Safe definitely gave me massive Broadchurch vibes, I really enjoyed what every character brought to the show. I thought it was clever to set a mystery in a gated community- somewhere that by definition is supposed to be safe- the juxtaposition was definitely a nice touch. The crime genre often entraps its characters in the middle of a mystery (eg The Guest List, The Woman in Cabin 10) to make sure they can’t leave and it’s the same here, the gates ensured that the ‘evil’ was trapped inside. As well as being a physical barrier, the gated community gave the impression of a safe location and somewhere that was a lot more quaint and pleasent than the rest of the world- how wrong that turned out to be. I really liked the gated community location of Safe, several characters joked about the gates keeping them locked away from the rest of the world but they did kind of have a point. Having now watched two of Coben’s Netflix series I have become a massive fan of his work, I am about to start another of his shows- The Woods- so expect my review for this next week! The writing on this show was just amazing, I loved how Coben was able to craft such a intriuging and well written mystery, making sure everything connected and fit into place at the end- that final episode really was something else. Every time I thought things couldn’t get any complex, Coben would throw yet another twist into the mix. Jenny’s dissapearance and everything that followed was just a constant cycle of shock and intriuge. ![]() Safe was such an amazing watch, I thought The Stranger was good but watching this has just shown how great of a writer Coben really is. Is Jenny fleeing from a murder scene? Or is there something else going on? Tom will stop at nothing to find his daughter, but can he really trust those closest to him- because someone knows what happened.
