Save Me (Seasons 1–2)

Save Me (2018) is a British crime thriller mini-series — watch it online on iFILM. Nelly Rowe is about as ordinary a Londoner as they come: a small flat, a steady job, evenings at the local pub. Then he is arrested on suspicion of abducting his thirteen-year-old daughter Jody — a girl he has not seen since she was three.

He clears himself with the police. What he cannot shake is the feeling that the official investigation is moving too slowly. Nelly starts looking himself, working through old contacts and uneasy streets, overturning things that have not been touched in years. Lennie James plays him without any heroics — just a man running on whatever is left when everything else is gone. Steven Graham, Suranne Jones and Jason Flemyng round out the cast; directed by Nick Murphy.

Six episodes, and the tension holds through every one. The show does not explain itself or offer easy comfort. Stream Save Me (2018) online on iFILM.
