Contains spoilers on Netflix's Secrets We Keep
Secrets We Keep is Netflix's newest mystery thriller, that has got TV fanatics talking.
The six-part series launched last week and is already in the streaming site's Top 10 Most Watched, with many comparing it to Adolescence.
The Danish drama revolves around two wealthy families in the Copenhagen suburbs, who have employed Filipino au pairs. When Katarina and Rasmus' au pair, Ruby, goes missing, their close friend Cecelie begins to question the family dynamic.
She discovers that Ruby had taken a pregnancy test before running away, and by the end of the show, it's revealed that Ruby was raped by Katarina and Rasmus' teenage son Oscar and it seems Katarina killed her and covered it up as a suicide.
There were lots of twists and turns along the way, which threw viewers off, but fans have picked up on some major spoilers that revealed the culprit from as early as episode one.
Here's all the clues that gave away that Oscar was the culprit.
In the first episode, Oscar could be seen watching a group of girls at his school playing together.
Instead of going over to talk to them and join in, he just watched them from afar in a very unsettling way. The scene was quite isolated and raised a lot of alarm bells around his character.
In the second episode, Oscar could be seen filming a girl from the bushes. The girl was bending down and exposed the lace part of her underwear.
Viggo told him that they needed to go and tried to hurry him up, but he insisted that he stay and film the young girl, instead.
He later shared this on a page where he and his friends post indecent content of women.
Perhaps the biggest giveaway that Oscar was the person who drove Ruby away was the drone. Oscar was constantly flying this drone around and spying on others.
In episode one, he interrupted his mother's conversation with Cecelie when the drone went into the kitchen.
Oscar was on the sofa with Viggo at the time, watching everything the drone was picking up and the drone could be seen hovering around Cecelie's lower half, as Katarina yelled at him: "Oscar, turn it off!"
At the end of the first episode, it was revealed that someone was watching Cecelie and her husband Mike having sex, as a camera zoomed in on them in action.
Cecelie and Mike went round to visit Katarina and Rasmus following Ruby's disappearance and decided to go and check her room.
While in there, Cecelie asked if there was a nanny cam inside the teddy, to which Katarina confirmed that there was indeed.
They were then interrupted by Oscar, who popped up at the door, asking: "What's going on?"
They immediately stopped searching the room after that.
It was later revealed in the show that Oscar had been sharing naked videos of Ruby, captured on that very nanny cam.
One fan picked up on the nanny cam, writing on Reddit: "I guessed that the son was the rapist since first episode, it is so obvious. They gave us to many hints since first episode, with the teddy bear, the camera, the drone, the fact that he is a pervert looking at naked girls without their consent..."
In the second episode, Oscar could be seen lurking in the background while Rasmus was being questioned by Aicha, the police officer.
It was as though he was eavesdropping on the entire conversation. Aicha picked up on this and he left, but the moment raised lots of suspicion.
While at Cecelie's house, Oscar had some harsh words to say about Ruby.
Asked by Cecelie whether he was looking forward to the movie night he was about to have with Viggo at her house, Oscar completely ignored the question and replied: "My mother said ruby's a whore... She said that's why she left."
Cecelie was completely taken aback by the comment and talked about it with her husband in the car while on the way to dinner.
"Oscar said Katarina thinks Ruby is a prostitute and that's why she left. Weird thing to discuss with your son," she said.
Weird, indeed, and a big clue that Oscar was key to Ruby's disappearance.
