Netflix fans are 'hooked' to 'haunting' new crime drama with 100% Rotten Tomatoes score

Netflix's new sensation "Secrets We Keep" has got audiences absolutely riveted, earning itself the label of "addictive" from its growing legion of fans and snagging a coveted 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The Danish centres around the character Cecilie, who feels compelled to turn detective when her neighbour's au pair inexplicably vanishes, only to discover that unravelling the mystery leads to her own life turning upside down. Having landed on screens just this month, it's rapidly become the show that everyone is talking about.

Passionate discussions have erupted on where viewers are lavishing the series with praise. For some, it's being hailed as a must-watch, essential viewing experience.

A viewer expressed the importance of the show, saying: "I found this series haunting because of the social interaction, the neglect of the children and the dominance of the men. You have to be very blind, or just keep your blinders on, to only see this as a crime show.

"And that would also tell me a lot about your world view. Per Fly is one of the best Danish directors to depict social class and social realism. This series is very important in this day."

Meanwhile, another confessed: "I binged the entire season and I do not regret it. I watched out of curiosity of the title. Then I was pleasantly surprised to see Filipinos! I am Filipino (America born). My husband is 1/2 Danish 1/2 Thai.

"I have family in the Philippines who work abroad in another country away from their families. I never understood how they could do that.

"Whether it depicted a realistic view or not, it was very interesting to see this side of the au pairs. The show kept me intrigued and guessing. I loved it!"

A third enthused: "Loved it! Fresh and addictive! Sex, power, exploration of modern slavery, motherhood and great interior design! Loved the acting!"

On Rotten Tomatoes, viewers are also heaping praise on the series, which has clinched a resounding perfect score from audience members. Many Netflix enthusiasts are clamouring for more after being captivated by the show.

One impressed viewer noted: "The series manages to naturally inject questions about privilege, the racialization of domestic work and individual responsibility in the face of systems that benefit some at the expense of others."

Another offered acclaim: "Secrets We Keep is a thriller that doesn't try to distract viewers by sending them down too many dead ends, and tells a story about class, race and wealth in the process."

Adding to the commendation, someone else stated: "Secrets We Keep holds on to your attention from the first episode and its twists and turns are nothing short of thrilling."

Headlined by stars like Marie Bach Hansen, Excel Busano and Danica Curcic, the talked-about series made its debut earlier this month. The narrative revolves around a horrifying murder in an affluent Danish community, showcasing the intricate relationships between the wealthy families and their au pairs and housekeepers.

The plot thickens as married couple Cecilie and Mike employ Angel as their housekeeper, and soon after, Angel's friend and fellow au pair, Ruby, mysteriously disappears.

Ruby is employed as an au pair by Cecilie and Mike's friends, Rasmus and Katarina. Upon her disappearance, Cecilie takes it upon herself to unravel the mystery behind Ruby's sudden vanishing.
