You can now binge all 6 episodes of 'deeply unsettling' Netflix crime drama
Netflix viewers have a new show to add to their watchlists, after the streaming service dropped a Danish crime drama that has left subscribers 'reeling'.
Never one to leave you for even a moment without a dark new show to watch, Secrets We Keep – Reservatet in Danish – is the latest addition to the roster and follows a murky missing persons case in Copenhagen. In this six-parter, something is definitely rotten in the state of Denmark.
Set in an affluent suburb of Copenhagen, the Danish drama follows the disappearance of a young Filipino au pair called Ruby (Donna Levkovski), working for an incredibly rich family. The family's neighbour Cecile (Marie Bach Hansen) begins to suspect something is afoot.
The case of a missing woman from abroad ranks low in the police's list of priorities, so Cecile and her Filipino au pair Angel (Excel Busano) begin to investigate the rumours of foul play among other au pairs in the neighbourhood.
While the show isn't based on a true story, it does attempt to lift the lid on a fact of Denmark society, that Filipino women represent the majority of the country's au pairs, with 2,165 granted a residence permit in 2009 stats.

Although the show only dropped on Netflix this week, many TV viewers have already torn through all six episodes and took to X to share their thoughts. Several were impressed with the show's handling of Cecile's own biases and reassessment of how she is raising her children.
@RamasScreen described it as a 'deeply unsettling' watch, writing: 'Secrets We Keep started out like a regular missing person case but it gradually unravelled into a tangled web of social & sexual controversy that went right for the jugular. More Trending
'The show compelled you to question your own prejudice & biases as well.'
@MittalVineet added: 'Watched new series Secrets We Keep. Builds tension from the first frame and keeps it going. Also brings forth how different worlds co-exist and inequalities. Also a key takeaway is parenting cannot be outsourced.'
@EmpressTashe simply wrote: 'I am hooked #SecretsWeKeep,' while @archisengupta chimed: 'Today was a great day, first watched Secrets We Keep which left me absolutely reeling and on-edge.'

Another EastEnders couple hit the rocks amid ‘cheating' scandal
Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) is mortified to see her husband George (Colin Salmon) 'cheating' on her with ex-wife Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) in EastEnders next week – and she's not the only former partner he's met up with! But is everything as it seems? The two women have never seen eye to eye, ever since Cindy miraculously 'rose from the dead' in 2023, revealing that she had spent 25 years in witness protection. George was unable to resist temptation and found himself falling for her again, but after marrying Elaine in November, the couple have managed to find steady ground. That was further strengthened by Cindy's affair with former step-son Junior Knight (Micah Balfour), and the subsequent attack she faced on Christmas Day at the hands of Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth). United and stronger than ever before, Elaine was mortified to see George offer his support to Cindy at the re-opening of The Prince Albert earlier this week. Under new management, she'd planned to go all-out with a relaunch celebration, but hadn't managed to sell enough tickets or pull off a big enough publicity campaign to garner attention. There's also the small matter of her being Cindy Beale, Walford's most hated woman. In upcoming scenes, still reeling from her husband's act of betrayal, Elaine decides to show George just how committed she is with a sentimental gift that harks back to his boxing days. As they share a warm moment, Junior bursts in and decides to reveal where his dad was on the night of Cindy's attack. Despite telling everyone that he was attending an illegal boxing match, Junior knows the truth. He was actually visiting ex-wife Sabrina. If that wasn't bad enough, George then spills that she tried to kiss him. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street? The latest gossip from Emmerdale?
