A Reserva

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 just finished watching Reservatet, and honestly, I thought it was a really good miniseries. Sure, it was a bit predictable in parts, but it still had some twists that caught me off guard, which I appreciated. It kept me interested the whole way through.

I've always thought Denmark does a great job when it comes to film and TV, and this was no exception. There's just something about the way they tell stories that really works. The acting was solid across the board too-everyone brought their A-game and made the characters feel real.

All in all, I'd say Reservatet is definitely worth a watch. Not groundbreaking, but very well done and engaging.

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.

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.

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.
