Secrets we Keep

I bingewatched all six episodes and was hooked from the beginning to end.

North of Copenhagen, where the rich people live a Beverly Hills lifestyle, many of them hire cheap foreign labor - usually young filipino women - to clean their expensive houses and look after their kids.

This is not made up. I worked as a teacher in that fairytaleland for almost 20 years. And I heard many stories, too. For many it's all about keeping up their appearances.

It doesn't take long in the first episode for the whole setup and premise to get going. A young filipino turns out missing and the following episodes are all about "what happened?" and "who's to blame for foul play?"

It's part drama, part mystery. As the story progress it becomes more and more clear that something is completely rotten and off, about certain main characters. This is where it gets really exciting and interesting, because in world where everyone learns to have a facade, lying also becomes easier.

The mini-series is beautifully shot and masterfully edited, and the cautionary tale was an added bonus.

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.

It is different than what I was used from Scandinavians. Usually they are centered around a weird policeman/woman but this narrative focuses more on a civilian involved. You can guess what is gonna happen if are observant enough. Overall I liked the it was a little bit different than what I was used for Nordic noir series but it wasn't something extraordinary. As I said before you can guess who the plot will roll out l. I loved the actress who played Catarina. She plays the policewoman on other shows and it was interesting to see her in an other role! I found the duration ok although they could have had some more character development.

Overall if you like Nordic noirs I find it decent.

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 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.
