Secrets We Keep (season 1)

Secrets We Keep is a 2025 Netflix crime thriller miniseries set in one of Denmark's wealthiest neighborhoods, north of Copenhagen. The story begins when Ruby, a young Filipino au pair, suddenly disappears from the community. Cecilie, a neighbor, becomes convinced that something serious has happened to Ruby and, together with her own au pair, Angel, starts investigating the rumors circulating among the area's many au pairs. As suspicions of a crime grow, the case is deprioritized by the police, partly because Ruby is a foreigner. A newly appointed investigator, Aicha, needs all the help she can get, and Cecilie and Angel are determined to assist. Their search for answers gradually exposes the hidden power structures and privileges within the seemingly perfect homes of the neighborhood. Cecilie's commitment to uncovering the truth is put to the test when the investigation reveals uncomfortable connections to her own family, forcing her to confront her blind spots and reconsider the environment in which she is raising her children. The series explores themes of privilege, social hierarchy, and the secrets that lie beneath polished surfaces, blending suspense with sharp storytelling.
