Los secretos que ocultamos

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.

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.

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.

Another excellent series from Denmark! For those who criticize it for being racist and predictable, those are precisely some of the series key points. It's meant to be like that.

Rich versus poor.

This is not a series you watch and forget. It sticks with you because it causes you to wonder. It's not about solving the mystery, it's about what lies under the façade of wealthy society. And reveals how easily people can ignore what's wrong until it becomes impossible to look away.

The two main actresses are the ones who carry the story and make it come together.

The casting and the suporting casting are all great!

Overall, I'd have to tell you I didn't think I was going to enjoy this show as much as I did. But it impressed me. It's intelligent, emotional and incredibly psychological.

It demonstrates that justice doesn't come easily when the subjects are rich and powerful. And It is also a reminder that sometimes doing the right thing can hurt, but that it is the right thing to do.

Of course, let's not forget the ongoing theme about social media among minors in this series, which, just like in the series 'Adolescence' , fill you with questions and frustration at the same time.

If you're into tension, psychology and a great message on social commentary, 'Secrets We Keep' is worth watching, no doubt.

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.
