Los secretos que ocultamos

If you've seen any crime/mystery series you'll recognize the elements right away and predict what characters will be like. Rich, affluent neighbourhood. Class and race division. People with secrets. People hiding things. People knowing more than they let on. Determined investigator.

But end result is not what it could have been. Secrets and lies are predictable. If you pay attention you can deduce what happened fairly quickly. I'll give writers credit in that characters are actually capable of stepping back and reexamining their actions and beliefs as new things come to light.

I wouldn't call watching this a waste of time, but it's not a memorable series either.

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.

This thriller with the unsurprising twist does a great job of examining the relationship between the ladies that lunch and the au pairs that take care of thier children.

Marie Back Hasen is stunning as the centre point of the story showing the cool unemotional danes verus the emotional Filipino babysitters

The acting is superb

The scenes of au pairs meeting and talking about thier, "employers" is great as well as how they get pressured into doing things

The use of very tall Danes and very short Filipinos is particularly good in the show dont tell rule of film making

It could have been two episodes shorter but definitely worth binging.

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" (2025) is a masterclass in suspense, blending psychological tension with emotional depth in a way that lingers long after the credits roll. Directed by the visionary, this thriller dives into the shadows of guilt, and the dangerous truths high profile people hide-even from themselves.

While the series's slow-burn tension is a strength, some viewers might crave a faster payoff in the final act. A few supporting characters could've been fleshed out further, but the central performances more than compensate.

Perfect For:

• Fans of mind-bending thrillers
• Anyone who loves unreliable narrators
• Viewers who enjoy dissecting hidden clues.
