The first three episodes of Safe had been really rather good, exceeding my expectations, but episode four, beats the lot, and is perhaps not far off the best thing I've watched in 2018. Fast paced, dramatic, gripping, heart breaking, I really wasn't expecting Safe to reach the standard of this episode. My heart was in my mouth the entire way through. As soon as I thought I had time to process what had happened, and think of theories of who and what, something else would happen. They threw everything at the viewer in this one, it didn't let up for a minute, energetic drama until that harrowing, sadistic and grimly real conclusion. With the knife crime issues that face London and the UK in general it served as a wake up to the harsh reality that many are unaware of on our streets, as young and old carry knives. I'm glad it wasn't glamourised or sensationalised, it was shown for what it is, abhorrent.
Quality, gritty and thrilling drama, 10/10
