Gerard O'Donovan Daily Telegraph (UK) This was also a drama that transcended all such complaints simply by reaching into your chest cavity and wringing your heart out for all it was worth. Rated: 4/5 Apr 16, 2019 Full Review Lucy Hunter Johnston London Evening Standard The missing child has become a cliché in TV drama but James's tough vision of London is believable. Suranne Jones excels as Nelly's ex, Claire. Mar 26, 2018 Full Review Deborah Ross The Mail on Sunday (UK) It's terrific. It's so good that even when it's not that good and the plot impetus is lost or you're thinking, 'Hang on, he finds that house in Streatham simply by going to Streatham?', it doesn't much matter. Rated: 4/5 Mar 19, 2018 Full Review Emma Clark-Dow The Post NZ Nelly embarks on the journey of trying to find his estranged teenage daughter, while also proving his innocence and mending broken relationships along the way. Oct 21, 2022 Full Review Marty Brown Common Sense Media Dark mystery features sexual content, violence, drugs. Rated: 4/5 Mar 8, 2021 Full Review Helen Daly Daily Express (UK) Save Me then becomes an emotional tale of humanity. Aug 25, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

John T A well written and engaging story with great characters and acting. As always, Lennie James was terrific. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/03/22 Full Review Audience Member Great story and characters. Well played Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Relevations never go the way you think, characters are shown as all grey. Music is cool. It will blow you away. Guaranteed Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review edoardo c Brits are coming. and they know their stuff. rarely I encountered a tv series so well crafted as this one. the main actor, whom is also the creator and the writer did a marvelous job. it's one of the rare cases, where the lead role couldn't be given to another human being. exactly like The OA, one of the most unique tv drama series, performed and created by the ingenious Brit Marling, inexplicably erase from the face of the earth by a certain mr. ted sarandos, who's interested just in new proselytizing algorithms for his creature. back to Save Me, we all are extremely anxious to know when season 3 will be available. probably in late april. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/10/21 Full Review Audience Member The acting is without fault. But midway through it really dragged. The series could have been edited down to movie size. Whatever subtext there was (barely any) did not justify the length and wasted screen time. A disappointment because I really like Lenny James. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Fabulous script and plot. Great acting abd filming which captured SE london pub life superbly. A must see.
