Secrets we Keep

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.

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.

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.

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.
