We have to talk about that accent.

All in all, it's good, soapy fun. If you're willing to suspend your disbelief, you're likely to get swept up in its current, and once that happens, I'd wager that all eight episodes will safely disappear in a flash.

Safe does promise plenty of twists and turns for loyal mystery lovers, and the supporting cast, including Sherlock's Amanda Abbington, is extremely capable.

Cliche-free British crime drama is great grown-up mystery.

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.

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.

Excellent acting all round; twisty plot that holds your attention; even better than "The Five" and that means it is superb TV viewing. Worth the bingewatching thrill.

Safe is... top-quality TV drama.

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.

I'm very much enjoying these people, without really caring about them.

Almost everything about Safe, from the acting to the dialogue, is pulpy with a vengeance.

There's nothing particularly fresh about it, but it does what it sets out to do - to keep the viewer guessing who dunit and why - with assurance and flair.

Those who enjoyed Broadchurch and Doctor Foster should definitely check out Netflix's latest British thriller Safe...

Boasts a quality cast and slick script [and] brings a tone of nightmarish slapstick.

Generally delivers the kinds of well-paced twists that mystery fans are likely to enjoy.
