If you’re into crime thrillers and mystery shows, Netflix has just shared the trailer for a new series you’ll want on your watchlist.
If you’ve ever checked out Netflix’s Nordic output, you’ll know the region produces some seriously gripping shows, and the streaming service’s next Danish series looks like another must-watch mystery. Introducing: “Secrets We Keep”.
Created by Ingeborg Topsøe (“Wildland”), “Secrets We Keep” (or its Danish title, “Reservatet”) is a six-part crime story that whisks us to Denmark’s wealthiest neighborhood for a suspenseful story about a missing au pair.
Watch On
Judging by the dramatic trailer full of longing looks, mounting evidence, fraught conversations, and some very foreboding music, “Secrets We Keep” looks like an absorbing new mystery.
The show revolves around a Filipino au pair who disappears from an incredibly wealthy neighborhood north of Copenhagen — and fellow resident Cecilie (Marie Bach Hansen) begins to suspect foul play is involved.
Cue a twisting story that will force Cecilie to confront her own blind spots and to see the area her family lives in in a whole new way.
If you’ve enjoyed recent releases like “The Åre Murders” or “The Glass Dome”, I’m sure this’ll be a perfect fit. Likewise, Netflix’s full synopsis makes it sound like it’ll be perfect for Harlan Coben fans looking for their next mystery fix, too.
Bottom line: if you were waiting to find your next Netflix binge, “Secrets We Keep” looks like it belongs on your watchlist.
