A small town’s big secrets unravel in this edge-of-your-seat murder mystery
Created by Harlan Coben (the crime novelist-turned-showrunner behind many streaming mysteries), Safe is a fast-paced thriller following a widower in search of his missing daughter. The more he digs, the more he realizes that his town is anything but small and sleepy, and that he can’t trust the people closest to him. It’s the sort of show that involves multiple people and plotlines, which could easily go south if it fell into the wrong hands, but Safe manages to make it all work. It doesn’t require you to care deeply about these characters, but it does pull you in with its shocking secrets and (at times frustrating) cliffhangers. Sure, it can get soapy at times, but it’s never not entertaining. And though it revisits the night of the disappearance often, it always features a new angle and point of view, making it feel fresh every single time.
After his daughter goes missing, a widower begins uncovering the dark secrets of the people closest to him.
"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."
— Ben Travers
"Generally delivers the kinds of well-paced twists that mystery fans are likely to enjoy."
— Maureen Ryan
In a small town in the UK, Tom (Michael C. Hall) investigates the mysterious disappearance of his daughter Jenny (Amy James-Kelly). But the deeper he digs, the bigger the web of lies and conspiracies he unravels.
Hall’s accent is supposedly off, but I don’t mind it. It adds to the slight ridiculousness of it all.
If you prefer your mysteries fast-paced and pulpy, you’re in for a treat.
