But overall, it tends to avoid the sloppy, meandering tendencies of its more prestige-driven TV brethren. ![]() “Safe” takes itself a bit too seriously now and then - portentous music cues occasionally crop up in ways that play up the show’s pompous tendencies. But things begin spinning out of control when a crime occurs, and a resident goes missing. Adults and teens in the community are all hiding secrets, and on the whole, the teens are better at covering their tracks than the grown-ups. In a leafy, safety-conscious subdivision, grieving widower Tom (Hall) is raising two daughters, one of whom is a teenager and increasingly estranged from her dad. It’s essentially a propulsive nighttime soap opera littered with crimes, well-appointed kitchens, and surveillance cameras everywhere. But in its first two episodes, it delivers on what it promises in its taut opening scenes: It’s a slick portrait of one man’s descent into a nightmare, one that threatens to damage the fragile connections within several families. The good news is “Safe” is a plot-driven drama that doesn’t rely all that much on extensive conversation, and what dialogue it does have is workmanlike at best. Hall’s attempt at an English accent is reasonably successful, even if it sounds a bit forced at times. ![]()
