Review of Safe House

Safe House (2015–2017)
3/10
2nd series review......Not worth your time
4 October 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The first series wasn't the best but was passable, I thought I'd give the second series a chance seeing as it had an all new cast, a new story and was set in Anglesey(not far from where I live). Wish I hadn't bothered, I watched the first two episodes to give it a chance and couldn't really get into it, I was going to stop there but as it only had four episodes I continued on, mainly to confirm that I was correct in my thought from the very first episode that Jason Watkins character was indeed the culprit. It was a chore to watch however and I found it hard to connect with any of the characters and to be honest I couldn't have cared less what happened to any them, it was lazy uninspired and unimaginative stoytelling with a done to death plot and one of those annoying unanswered you have to make your own mind up endings. And on that point can someone please tell TV show writers to stop these open ended endings, with unanswered questions, I can understand it on long running TV shows where the story continues and the show has been commissioned for another series, but on a four part drama like this, even if I didn't care who lived or died, I've put the time in and I want the story told to me in its entirety, its your story not mine so finish it!
