The Secrets She Keeps

Yes it was predictable. Yes we knew the outcome. Yes it was full of ridiculous plotholes However it does the job of entertaining the audience which is ultimately the only real purpose of TV drama.

Enjoyable bingeworthy ozzie TV.

I found the storyline and character development very intriguing. I did predict some of what happened but that's only because I watch a lot of thriller/crime shows. However, there were a few twists that surprised me! I watched 6 episodes in 2 days so that definitely counts for something. I enjoyed it though and would recommend!

Beautifully filmed in Sydney and Katoomba with great atmosphere. Laura Carmichael is amazingly talented in the role of Aggie. The story is very predictable at first but there are a few unexpected twists once the pace picks up. Laura Carmichael and Jessica De Gouw outshine the male actors in this heartbreaking thriller. Also a good advertisement for Sydney Trains which are featured throughout the series. Definitely worth a watch.

I watched this because Laura Carmichael was in it and she didn't disappoint. Her portrayal of Aggie was both disturbing and heartbreaking. She really got both sides of the character across.

The rest of the cast was fine though a lot of the characters weren't especially likeable. Once again Ryan Corr was playing a part which I think he could've done a lot more with than he was given the chance to.

Some aspects of the plot were predictable but there were also a couple of twists I really didn't see coming.

The Sydney locations were a welcomed change from all the Australian TV/movies that are always set in either Melbourne or the Outback.

Episode 5 (of 6) was by far the best and it's a shame the finale left a few too many loose ends and was a little anticlimactic.

Overall, I enjoyed the show. It's not the greatest thing I've ever watched but it's certainly not the worst. It's always nice to watch Australian productions which are sadly few and far between.

After the first two episodes I was going to award four stars because it was so slow in building the characters. The second half of the show is eight star material, so I recommend sticking with it.

It's not an original idea but the acting and production values also make it worth sticking with.
