Netflix subscribers can't get enough of the latest Danish limited series. The streamer has doubled down on foreign productions, which have become wildly popular on the platform.

Secrets We Keep is just the latest one of them. The Danish thriller is a new binge-worthy series, and it debuted with a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes from the critics, attracting more viewers immediately. Shortly after its May 15 release on Netflix, Secrets We Keep became an instant hit, topping the non-English TV charts, per Tudum.

For the week between May 12 and 18, Secrets We Keep attracted 10.3 million views and 38.6 million hours viewed. That was enough to reach the top of the charts, as the show entered the Top 10 in 82 countries, and became the No. 1 show in 28 of them.

The Danish limited series Secret We Keep, or Reservatet in original, is perfect for fans of other Netflix shows like Harlan Coben's Missing You and Hold Tight.

After being lauded by critics, Netflix’s gripping new crime series has divided general audiences a bit more. Secrets We Keep, which was originally titled Reservatet, follows Cecille (Marie Bach Hansen), a woman who searches for her neighbor's missing au pair only to find her perfect world crumbling down the deeper she gets into her investigation. The show debuted on Netflix last Thursday, and after earning a flawless 100% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, it has come to rest at only 76% on the audience-driven Popcornmeter. One of the common complaints from audiences keeping the series from attaining perfection is that it’s a bit too predictable, and that some elements are too unrealistic. The show is a limited series, so it’s highly unlikely it will ever receive another season.

Secrets We Keep star Marie Bach Hansen is also known for her roles in The Team and The Last Vermeer,...

When a young au pair vanishes in an upper-class Copenhagen suburb, one woman is determined to find out who’s responsible — even if her search implicates her closest friends and loved ones. The Danish drama Secrets We Keep follows a wealthy family as they deal with the fallout from a missing persons case involving their obscenely rich neighbors. Starring Marie Bach Hansen, Simon Sears, and Lars Ranthe, the thriller was created by Ingeborg Topsøe; directed by Per Fly (Borgen); and written by Topsøe, Ina Bruhn (Darkness: Those Who Kill), and Mads Tafdrup (Speak No Evil).

When the Nirbhaya case happened in New Delhi and a 17-year-old kid was found to be one of the accused, questions were raised about whether our laws should be harsher on juveniles. After spending 3 years in prison, he was rehabilitated, and, right now, he’s out there, living amongst us. All this shook our conscience for a while, and then we went back to living our lives, ignoring the rise in hate crimes and sex crimes because they were limited to the lower and middle classes of society. Then the pandemic happened, and the upper class realized that their kids were micro-dosing on “red pill” content emerging from the “manosphere,” which was teaching them that feminism is the greatest evil that humanity has ever seen. Crimes against women in posh environments finally came under the spotlight, with the “Bois Locker Room” case sending shivers down the spines of anyone with a soul.
