His performance is not the only thing about Safe to feel rickety. Here he’s bafflingly cast as Tom Delaney, a widowed English surgeon searching for his missing daughter, in a role that requires the usually buttoned-down actor to engage in “banter” and say stuff like “oi”. Of these many components the most egregious is Hall, best known for playing Florida serial killer Dexter.
Safe is written and executive produced by American crime doyen Harlan Coben, features his countryman Michael C Hall attempting a wonky British accent, is part-financed by Canal+, the French broadcaster behind the BBC's tragically curtailed racy history drama Versailles and set in a gated community somewhere in England. The globalised underpinnings of modern blockbuster television are illustrated by Netflix’s new whodunnit.
