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.'

Jules Thomas: How my leukaemia was caused by Sophie Toscan du Plantier stress

For over two years Jules Thomas, the former partner of the Sophie Toscan du Plantier murder suspect Ian Bailey, spared her three daughters from the devastating truth that she is suffering from leukaemia. 'I just couldn't bring myself to tell them, to give my girls that worry and upset. I kept it to myself for as long as I could,' she told The Sunday Times. 'Eventually I decided they should know, so I wrote letters at the same time to each of my daughters to tell them.' Thomas now counts herself among the 220 people in Ireland every year who are diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, an incurable, slowly progressing blood cancer. The Welsh-born landscape artist has been embroiled in a legal battle against Netflix for several years. In a long-running High Court case, Thomas claims she was defamed in the three-part documentary series Sophie: A Murder in West Cork. She has alleged that the show, screened in 2021, contains a number of inaccuracies and she also claims in her legal action against the streaming giant and the production company Lightbox Media for injurious falsehood and infliction of emotional suffering. All of these claims are, however, understood to be denied by Netflix and Light Box Media, which are fully defending the action.

Bruce Springsteen gives his opinion on Stephen Graham's portrayal of his father

Bruce Springsteen has commented on Stephen Graham's portrayal of his late father in the upcoming biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere. The film, based on Warren Zanes's acclaimed 2023 book Deliver Me From Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska, chronicles the emotionally fraught creation of Springsteen's 1982 album Nebraska. Liverpool-born actor Stephen Graham, known for This Is England and Adolescence, takes on the role of Douglas Frederick 'Dutch' Springsteen, while The Bear star Jeremy Allen White plays a young Bruce at a career and personal crossroads. In a recent interview with The Times, Springsteen, 75, spoke sparingly about the project, which is set for an October theatrical release. But he didn't hold back his admiration for Graham's performance, which he experienced with a deep personal resonance. 'Watching Stephen portray my dad was a little otherworldly, and also quite touching,' he said. The music legend has been closely involved with the film, though he admitted stepping away from certain scenes during production due to their emotional intensity. Earlier this year, Graham revealed how moved he was to receive a text message from Springsteen after a private viewing of the film. In it, Springsteen reportedly wrote: 'Thank you so much. You know, my father passed away a while ago and I felt like I saw him today and thank you for giving me that memory.' The moment was deeply affecting for Graham, 51, who called the message 'beautiful' and referred to Springsteen as 'a working-class hero' and 'an icon to thousands, to millions.' Springsteen has also spoken about his on-set visits, praising Jeremy Allen White for his patience and professionalism during filming. More Trending 'Jeremy was very, very tolerant of me the days that I would appear on the set,' Springsteen told Rolling Stone earlier this month. 'I said to him, 'Look, anytime I'm in the way, just give me the look and I'm on my way home.'' He added with a laugh, 'It was just fun. It was enjoyable.' While Springsteen is keeping further details about the film under wraps for now, he is currently promoting Tracks II: The Lost Albums, a new compilation project set to accompany his decades-spanning discography, which includes 21 studio albums, over 300 songs, and 20 Grammy Awards. As anticipation builds for Deliver Me From Nowhere, it's clear that, for Springsteen, the project has already delivered something priceless. Got a story?

Jonathan Bailey 'risked being seconds from death' filming Jurassic World Rebirth

Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey has opened up about joining the Jurassic Park franchise, with him appearing alongside Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali in the new film Actor Jonathan Bailey has teased that he risked his life whilst working on Jurassic World Rebirth. He's revealed that he filmed alongside potentially lethal snakes for his role but shared his excitement over the experience. Jonathan, 37 - known for his roles in Bridgerton and more recently Wicked - said he was told that the serpents could kill him within seconds on the set of the Jurassic World film, which is set to be released next month. He's shared that he was instructed on safety measures to avoid a fatal encounter. ‌ As reported by the Daily Star, Jonathan recalled: "When you're making a movie, you want to feel the world of the movie as much as possible." He went on to say that he worked on scenes in snake-infested waters for the project. ‌ He said: "And my gosh, do you feel it when you're up to your waist in snake-infested waters. You have snake wranglers around you who do make you feel safe, but they also say things like 'be careful around this one. If you get bit, you die in 10 seconds'." He expressed excitement over appearing in the franchise through, saying: "That kind of moment speaks to the visceral thrills that Jurassic movies are all about! I had never had that kind of experience on a set before. It was all very ­exciting and I hope it's matched by the film." Jonathan suggested that he didn't shy away from stunts whilst on location in Thailand. Describing one intense scene from the production, as reported by the outlet, he said that his "inner child" was "screaming with delight". He said: "We had to shoot a scene where my character must pull someone back into a boat because she's falling off the side. I had water cannons blasting me, the boat's flipping around, and my inner child, which isn't all that inner, was just screaming with delight." Jonathan stars as palaeontologist Dr Henry Loomis in Jurassic World Rebirth, which is the seventh instalment in the long-running film franchise that previously starred Chris Pratt. He leads the cast with Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali. ‌ Jonathan has shared that he relished the opportunity to play the character. He said about his role in Jurassic World Rebirth: "To play Henry, who embodies the love of nature and our best curiosities about it, was great fun." It's the latest high-profile role in Jonathan's career. In recent years, he's starred as Fiyero Tigelaar in Wicked (2024). He's set to reprise the role in sequel Wicked: For Good (2025), which is scheduled to be released in November. ‌ Jonathan is also known for playing Lord Anthony Bridgerton in Netflix series Bridgerton. The show launched on the streaming platform in 2020 and his character was the focus of the second season, which aired in 2022. He's teased that he's been a fan of Jurassic Park for years, having been introduced to the franchise as a child. He said: "I was five when my family took me to Jurassic Park, so a questionable choice by my parents. The characters were so vivid and because it was Spielberg, it was a sumptuous escapist delight."
