Los secretos que ocultamos

This thriller with the unsurprising twist does a great job of examining the relationship between the ladies that lunch and the au pairs that take care of thier children.

Marie Back Hasen is stunning as the centre point of the story showing the cool unemotional danes verus the emotional Filipino babysitters

The acting is superb

The scenes of au pairs meeting and talking about thier, "employers" is great as well as how they get pressured into doing things

The use of very tall Danes and very short Filipinos is particularly good in the show dont tell rule of film making

It could have been two episodes shorter but definitely worth binging.

Secrets we keep is probably the best Danish series I've ever watched.

Screenplay is excellent Casting is very, very good Music score creates a very haunting atmosphere Filming locations impressive

Storyline of 2 very wealthy families exploiting Filipinos through au pair arrangements where the Filipinos work as nannies and housemaids for very little money.

All comes to a scandal that opens up the entire world of the entitled people Like a house of cards, it falls apart bit by bit through a seemingly simple event.

I thought at first it should be more of a movie than a series but I changed my mind as the pace of developing the storyline is more suited for a series.

It is different than what I was used from Scandinavians. Usually they are centered around a weird policeman/woman but this narrative focuses more on a civilian involved. You can guess what is gonna happen if are observant enough. Overall I liked the it was a little bit different than what I was used for Nordic noir series but it wasn't something extraordinary. As I said before you can guess who the plot will roll out l. I loved the actress who played Catarina. She plays the policewoman on other shows and it was interesting to see her in an other role! I found the duration ok although they could have had some more character development.

Overall if you like Nordic noirs I find it decent.

I bingewatched all six episodes and was hooked from the beginning to end.

North of Copenhagen, where the rich people live a Beverly Hills lifestyle, many of them hire cheap foreign labor - usually young filipino women - to clean their expensive houses and look after their kids.

This is not made up. I worked as a teacher in that fairytaleland for almost 20 years. And I heard many stories, too. For many it's all about keeping up their appearances.

It doesn't take long in the first episode for the whole setup and premise to get going. A young filipino turns out missing and the following episodes are all about "what happened?" and "who's to blame for foul play?"

It's part drama, part mystery. As the story progress it becomes more and more clear that something is completely rotten and off, about certain main characters. This is where it gets really exciting and interesting, because in world where everyone learns to have a facade, lying also becomes easier.

The mini-series is beautifully shot and masterfully edited, and the cautionary tale was an added bonus.

Another excellent series from Denmark! For those who criticize it for being racist and predictable, those are precisely some of the series key points. It's meant to be like that.

Rich versus poor.

This is not a series you watch and forget. It sticks with you because it causes you to wonder. It's not about solving the mystery, it's about what lies under the façade of wealthy society. And reveals how easily people can ignore what's wrong until it becomes impossible to look away.

The two main actresses are the ones who carry the story and make it come together.

The casting and the suporting casting are all great!

Overall, I'd have to tell you I didn't think I was going to enjoy this show as much as I did. But it impressed me. It's intelligent, emotional and incredibly psychological.

It demonstrates that justice doesn't come easily when the subjects are rich and powerful. And It is also a reminder that sometimes doing the right thing can hurt, but that it is the right thing to do.

Of course, let's not forget the ongoing theme about social media among minors in this series, which, just like in the series 'Adolescence' , fill you with questions and frustration at the same time.

If you're into tension, psychology and a great message on social commentary, 'Secrets We Keep' is worth watching, no doubt.
