Season 1 Review: 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. Read full review

Season 1 Review: 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. Read full review

Season 1 Review: "Safe" takes itself a bit too seriously now and then ... But overall, it tends to avoid the sloppy, meandering tendencies of its more prestige-driven TV brethren. It’s a highly watchable, semi-pulpy serial loaded with reveals, clues and cliffhangers, and the core cast is generally quite good. Read full review

Season 1 Review: 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. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It's not overwhelmingly shocking, perceptive or funny. What keeps it watchable is the sense of unease or maybe inconsistency. Hall's performance is slightly off. Read full review

Safe is a British TV drama mini-series produced by crime author Harlan Coben. The casting and acting were very good. Casting teenage roles is difficult, in my opinion, and the casting of those roles in this series was done well.

Dexter revient…! en Angleterre cette fois ! il va tout nettoyer, tout emballer dans des sacs, Dexter le roi de l’emballage… non, je déconne, c’est juste Michael C. Hall qui revient dans une nouvelle série… évidemment policière. Mais il joue un gentil père de famille surmené qui cherche saDexter revient…! en Angleterre cette fois ! il va tout nettoyer, tout emballer dans des sacs, Dexter le roi de l’emballage… non, je déconne, c’est juste Michael C. Hall qui revient dans une nouvelle série… évidemment policière. Mais il joue un gentil père de famille surmené qui cherche sa fille disparue (une ado qui fait chier, du classique).

Hélas, bien que ça ne fasse que 8 épisodes, ça ne maintient l’intérêt ou à défaut la curiosité que pendant 2 ou 3 épisodes (environ), la faute à un scénar de scénariste surmené (mais je crois qu’ils s’y sont mis à plusieurs) qui muliplie les rebondissements bidonnés et les révélations douteuses dont on doute fortement…

On reste là, incrédule, devant tant de… disons-le, de conneries qui sortent du chapeau et plus on avance, plus le tissu de conneries devient épais. Si seulement, on pouvait en rire peut-être (après avoir bu de grosses quantités, qui sait…) mais même pas…

D’autant que ça vire souvent au gros pathos à deux balles (en solde) avec bien sûr les clichés qui vont avec… Si la réalisation reste de bon aloi, si Michael s’en sort plutôt bien (c’est difficile de sortir du rôle d’un Dexter, évidemment…), le reste de la distribution est à la masse quand même et on ne va pas au bout de la série qui nous prend décidément un peu trop pour des jambons. Ou des cons.

Certes, ça peut plaire éventuellement à la ménagère de moins de 50 ans mais même elle, je ne crois pas qu’elle arrive à suivre ou qu’elle ne se lasse pas de cet imbroglio de Cluedo à la con !… Expand
