In Suburban Copenhagen, a Whispered Storm
Ruby, a young Filipino au pair, working for an affluent family in Copenhagen's posh suburbs, misses dinner one too many times. Her employers, Rasmus and Katarina, and the police remain unfazed. Only Cecilie, the snoopy neighbor, suspects something fishy. Soon, she teams up with Angel, her fellow au pair, to dig up the hidden truths behind Ruby's disappearance.
The series provides a stark look at the cracks in seemingly perfect communities, where order often stems from an unspoken silence protected by the upper class.
Star-Studded and Claustrophobic
Marie Bach Hansen plays the role of Cecilie with an intense sensitivity, always on the edge. Across the street, Danica Curcic essays the cold, calculated Katarina and Lars Ranthe portrays her husband, Rasmus. Frode Emil Bilde Rønsholt plays Oscar, their son, whose nervous glances hint at hidden secrets. Excel Busano's Angel and Sara Fanta Traore's Aicha Petersen bring depth to this web of lies.
The cast effortlessly embodies a series that favors subtlety over spectacle, relying on the gradual erosion of certainties and constant narrative tension.
A Mirror to Danish High Society
Under its cloak of a convincing thriller, "Secrets We Keep" dissects the hidden failings of Danish society. Through intricate portrayals, it sheds light on the ignored exploitation of au pairs, the indifferent authorities, and the covert agreements within affluent circles.
Directed by Per Fly and co-written by screenwriter Ingeborg Topsøe, the series doesn't aim to provide answers, but instead provokes thought. It leaves you with haunting images: calm pools, silent kitchens, eerie bedrooms, once familiar places now shrouded in suspicion.
In six 40-minute episodes, the series "Secrets We Keep" is binge-worthy. A psychological thriller, artistically smart and socially insightful, already a sensation on Netflix.
