The Secrets She Keeps

Yes it was predictable. Yes we knew the outcome. Yes it was full of ridiculous plotholes However it does the job of entertaining the audience which is ultimately the only real purpose of TV drama.

Enjoyable bingeworthy ozzie TV.

So many negative reviews...I wonder if we're watching the same show? This show is a rare shining light in a free to air tv land populated with mind- numbing reality shows. Ok, the acting could be better - the actor playing Jack is strangely wooden, but Laura Carmichael's creepy, unhinged Aggie is perfect. I usually don't give much time to FTA tv, but this show makes me want to see how it plays out.

I found the storyline and character development very intriguing. I did predict some of what happened but that's only because I watch a lot of thriller/crime shows. However, there were a few twists that surprised me! I watched 6 episodes in 2 days so that definitely counts for something. I enjoyed it though and would recommend!

Yes it was a bit slow and predictable as other reviewers have said here but we found it was still worth watching anyway. The acting and casting was appropriately suited to the story. I understand where people are coming from but we are saturated with international tv shows and a local drama was a welcome change from the usual assortment of crime, medical and lame reality shows.

After the first two episodes I was going to award four stars because it was so slow in building the characters. The second half of the show is eight star material, so I recommend sticking with it.

It's not an original idea but the acting and production values also make it worth sticking with.
