Sasha As always this was a superb script devised by Lennie James and such wonderful acting from Suranne Jones. Save me highlighted the realities of what some families tragically experience, with some subtle yet dramatic twists and turns. This was a truly edge of your seats show, which played on a range of emotions by a variety of viewers. The fragility of certain characters such as Stephen Graham's character, pulls on a range of issues and intertwines them in the main plot. It's no secret that Lennie James has confirmed he will be writing a series 2. There are some lose ends which have left audiences/viewers guessing or interpreting at the end of episode 6, but for more details you'll need to watch and find out... can't wait to find out where he will go from here. Truly excellent!
linyore I have just finished watching this series of Save Me. What an absolute waste of time. The cast are well chosen and professional but are let down badly by the story line and the direction. Let down very badly. The plot is a conventional step-dad searches for abducted daughter tale which is presented with little depth of character and many amateurish twists and turns. It moves slowly for the first four episodes and then, in an attempt to speed it up, the plot goes completely ridiculous. I watch most British dramas and this is the WORST I have in a very long time. Absolute rubbish. If you want to enjoy a properly made abduction drama go for Taken P1+P2. Vastly superior to this nonsense. This is the first time I have posted a review of any TV show but In this case I felt it needed to be done. Thank you for your time.
barriethorpe Writing this review in the hope that I can save others from wasting six hours watching a very engaging drama with the most deeply unsatisfying ending ever. I have literally just lost 6 hours of my life with this to be thoroughly let down on the end. Yes the acting is really actually quite good but I lost count of the number of times that I just thought to myself "what not calling the cops here then?" Then in the end he finds a girl that isn't his daughter and we don't get to find out what happened to her at all. He says that he will continue searching for her "until the devil turns to dust" then in the end he's in the pub having a jolly old time with his mates and still has no idea where his daughter is. If you enjoy things that leave you feeling really disappointed and let down then go for it, otherwise if you value your time on this earth then don't waste it on this massive let-down of a programme.
oblitenation SPOILER: I did enjoy Lennie James' acting. He could have hogged the screen a bit less, though. I also enjoyed Jones' and Graham's work, too. But this looks too much like a vanity project. The writing is wobbly, and the ending is just deplorable. The term cop-out was invented to describe endings such as this one.
