The structure of SBS’s four-part drama Safe Home, which explores the lives of a handful of women connected through a family violence legal centre, is nothing if not ambitious. It mixes timelines and alternates between hard-hitting stories peppered with shocking events: there are flashforwards, flashbacks and temporally disconnected images inserted into individual scenes.
The show’s strongest solidifying element is an impressively layered lead performance from Aisha Dee, who previously projected a very impish and unsettling blend of insecurity and malice as the protagonist of the Australian horror film Sissy.
