People who watched “The Secrets She Keeps” found themselves unable to stop watching and were left fascinated by it. One IMDb user labeled the series as “unsettling,” while another described it as a “thrilling, suspenseful viewing experience.

Although some admired the acting skills of De Gouw and Carmichael, others criticized the storyline as being predictable overall, even with its unexpected turns.

At the moment, the movie titled “The Secrets She Keeps” boasts a commendable 85% score on Rotten Tomatoes. As per the review by RogerEbert.com, this film offers a fascinating yet somewhat superficial investigation into the complexities of femininity and motherhood, revealing how these aspects can both support and poison relationships.

According to Paste Magazine, the performances delivered by Carmichael and De Gouw are crucial to making The Secrets She Keeps. Without their emotionally resonant and multifaceted portrayals, the series might just be an entertaining but implausible rollercoaster ride. However, it still maintains a level of absurdity that feels authentic.

The Guardian noted: “The foundation of the series lies in genuine, substantial drama, but occasionally this is undermined by melodramatic elements reminiscent of classic Australian exploitation films like the 1979 thriller, Snapshot.

Discussing with Radio Times, Downton Abbey actress Carmichael shared insights on the significant contrast between her character, Agatha, and Edith Crawley from the hugely popular historical series.

She notes that it’s impossible to dictate how others perceive us. However, she thrives on challenges and is eager to explore various roles. After dedicating oneself to a task for an extended period, comfort sets in – she finds it invigorating to step out of her comfort zone instead.

As a gamer, it’s been an absolute blessing immersing myself in the world of Downton Abbey. It’s given me opportunities galore! If a new period drama were to land on my doorstep and its script spoke to my soul, I wouldn’t quiver at the thought of diving back into that era. But for now, I find myself drawn to projects that carry a fresh, unique vibe.

The Secrets She Keeps is available to stream now on Channel 4.
