Widowed surgeon Tom has struggled to raise his two daughters alone following his wife's death a year ago. Things seem to be on the right track for the family, who live in a gated community, because they have close friends nearby and Tom is in the early stages of a new relationship. But the situation takes a turn for the worse when Jenny, Tom's oldest daughter, goes missing along with her boyfriend. Tom enlists girlfriend Sophie, a police detective, to help locate the teens, but her new partner is working her own agenda. As the investigation intensifies, Tom unearths dark secrets about the people closest to him in his affluent neighborhood. The drama series was created by mystery novelist Harlan Coben.

It can whirr on, in its mechanical way, without me. Go to Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail 05/14/2018
It's really rather good, and both Hall and Abbington are superb to watch, fine actors adding texture to the wildly twisted plotting and the gusty dialogue that would make many actors knackered. Go to Full Review Lorraine Ali Los Angeles Times 05/14/2018
Finding out why they are so guarded, and where all the bodies (figuratively and literally) are buried, is what makes this series a potential binge candidate. Go to Full Review Neela Debnath Daily Express (UK) 03/24/2020
Safe could have been so good. All the ingredients were there for a prime binge-worthy crime thriller - the writers, the cast, the concept - but it just hasn't been given the time, care and attention it needed. Go to Full Review Dominic Patten Deadline Hollywood Daily 03/24/2020
There are few series on streaming or anywhere else that will cause as few ripples. Go to Full Review Nick Venable CinemaBlend 06/21/2018
The ensemble cast makes it all click. There are plenty of moments in Safe where the story and its twists threaten to derail the tightly wound mayhem, but the cast saves it from ever tipping over. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

taylor W. @RT62602110 May 6 I stopped watching the show after three episodes. Not bad but its not surprised me 6/10🤷‍♀️ See more Paul D @LVHothead 02/26/2025 WORST ENGLISH ACCENT EVER! Michael C. Hall’s accent is so horrible that it pollutes every scene. This could have been a good series… See more Cindy W @RT53620140 12/30/2024 Love Michael C. Hall and rest of the cast. Great writing, cinematography and actors. Suspenseful and thrilling, keeps you guessing. Binge worthy. See more John Q @RT49947812 12/25/2024 The plot line is a but prolonged BUTnit has a great little ending! Enjoyed watching the story play out :D See more Joe W @JoeWasik 08/19/2024 Wow. This show is terrible. The acting is over the top, the writing has created silly characters. Another series that is just not necessary. See more TKR A @RT15301565 08/15/2024 Good show, keeps you guessing until the last episode. A lot of unknown actors, so nice to have a show with no famous faces or names. Procedural with twists and turns and dead ends in a case that are fairly realistic. Watched in one evening. Would recommend. See more Read all reviews
