The Secrets She Keeps: Season 1

"The bedrock of the show is credible, serious drama, though this is undercut from time to time by pulpy genre elements more befitting old-school Ozploitation thrillers..."

"The pulpy elements are precision-engineered to keep you glued. But what really makes the miniseries gripping is Laura Carmichael as the unsettlingly morose Agatha."

"The leads bring more than enough credibility to their roles to make the series worth watching."

"A very watchable, albeit slightly shallow, exploration of how femininity and motherhood intertwine and toxify."

"Without performances as... sound as the ones Carmichael and De Gouw give, The Secrets She Keeps would be little more than (a) pulpy ride. It's still pretty cockamamie, but in a way that is also fully believable."

"It is a drama in which you see the plot twists coming... as if signposted by a giant foam finger."

"The Secrets She Keeps has given audiences a decent twirl around the dance floor while it probes the secrets and lies of performative contentment."
