Los secretos que ocultamos

The acting and photography are all well done. Excellent production values. The only criticism is that it's pretty obvious about half way through the mini series who did it. Lots of long shots with strange looks in the background that are a little heavy handed at dropping those clues. It felt like it would have been better pacing if they had cut the length of the series down by half, but still good if you like long dramatic dramas. It doesn't have to hit you with a bat over and over to get the point across that society has problems. There has always been wealthy vs poor. There has always been misogyny. The youth are now being raised by the internet. It's very bad and getting worse. 6 hours of it is just a little too long to have to watch of it when you already know who did it.

If you've seen any crime/mystery series you'll recognize the elements right away and predict what characters will be like. Rich, affluent neighbourhood. Class and race division. People with secrets. People hiding things. People knowing more than they let on. Determined investigator.

But end result is not what it could have been. Secrets and lies are predictable. If you pay attention you can deduce what happened fairly quickly. I'll give writers credit in that characters are actually capable of stepping back and reexamining their actions and beliefs as new things come to light.

I wouldn't call watching this a waste of time, but it's not a memorable series either.

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.

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.

I was hooked on Secrets We Keep from the very first episode. The acting was strong, the storytelling layered, and the suspense built steadily with each chapter. It promised a payoff that felt just out of reach, keeping me invested through every twist and reveal.

But the final episode was a major letdown.

After so much careful buildup, the finale felt rushed and unsatisfying. Key plotlines were either ignored or wrapped up too neatly. Some characters acted in ways that made no sense based on everything we'd seen before, and others just vanished without resolution. Most frustrating was the lack of real emotional payoff-no reckoning, no clarity, no true closure.

It's as if the writers didn't trust the audience to handle a more honest, consequential ending. Instead, we got ambiguity and loose ends where there should have been resolution and depth.

Still, I can't deny how compelling the series was for most of its run. If you enjoy well-acted psychological drama and slow-burning mystery, it's worth watching. Just be prepared: the ending may leave you disappointed.
