Reservatet: La riserva

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.

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.

The production quality was genuinely impressive - great cinematography, atmosphere, and solid performances. It had all the ingredients for a gripping thriller.

But unfortunately, it became way too obvious who was responsible from the very first shot of him, which killed the suspense early on. Once that reveal felt clear, the story lost momentum and interest.

Overall, it's a well-crafted film, but the predictability weakens the impact.

Secrets We Keep unfolds with quiet urgency, tracing the disappearance of a Filipino househelp, in an upscale Copenhagen suburb. What begins as a personal concern gradually exposes a layered critique of privilege, systemic neglect, and the quiet complicity of those who benefit from both.

The girl's absence becomes a lens to examine the asymmetries of care, labour, and belonging in a society that prides itself on fairness, yet falters when accountability challenges comfort.

The storytelling is restrained yet charged, balancing empathy with discomfort. With only six episodes, Secrets We Keep distills its critique with precision, leaving behind not answers, but echoes difficult questions about power, silence, and the hierarchies embedded even in acts of kindness.

This is not a crime thriller. It's a moral reckoning.
