Save Me Review

Save Me has been captivating. Each episode has gotten better and better. I am still not sure what actually happened, but Luke and Gavin definitely knew more than they were letting on. The finale should be intriguing. I cannot wait to find out what Luke knows about Jody’s disappearance. Does Richard really intend to sell Jody or is it another girl?

This series is easily binge worthy. I’ll pace myself with it though. This episode was great. An 8.5 out of 10 is deserved. Catch up with previous recaps of Save Me right now!
