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.

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.

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 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.

Okay, let's be clear about this: the sixth episode isn't great. The plot slows down so much just minutes in that you know the next half hour is designed to lull you into a false sense of security before the closing twist. And the closing twist, when it comes, is a bit am-dram or amateur dramatic. It's a bit too loaded in its thesis that rich people will do anything to hold on to what they have, even those of them who think of themselves as good and morally driven. But, that aside, and usually one cannot put the last episode of six aside, the thing is that the first five episodes here are so well done, so well acted, well shot and directed that it's hard not to go from one directly into the next, carried along on the sheer expert pacing of this tale of familial intrigue and the privileges of wealth.

There's a sense of forward propulsion and indeed sheer style about this show (despite the fact that it seems to borrow its soundtrack and indeed its casting style and preferences from Bad Sisters, despite never reaching the brilliance of that script and dialogue.

But as shows about class difference, about family obligations and rights, about the wealthy West and the often scramblingly desperate East (personified here by a young generation of Filipina babysitters who find themselves marooned in basement bedrooms of wealthy upscale Denmark), this is a well-made, sharp-edged and sympathetic tale that is also (for all of those first five episodes and at least for parts of the sixth) highly entertaining and highly recommended.
