Jane Sadler is the overworked producer of a controversial show about law enforcement. Already spread thin between work and a separation from her husband, she's dealt a brutal blow when her young daughter goes missing in the middle of the night. The line between her personal life and the show blurs more than she ever thought possible as she wades through the devastating mystery of her daughter's disappearance. She discovers that everyone seems to have a secret, and there is no longer anyone she can truly trust.

The estimable Kyra Sedgwick stars in this intriguing but initially frustrating abduction-mystery series. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com 10/25/2017
It's well-made enough that I could see anyone who got into stuff like Secrets & Lies engaging with it. And Sedgwick is always solid. Go to Full Review Gwen Ihnat AV Club 10/25/2017

Fortunately for us all, Jane is portrayed by Kyra Sedgwick, whose performance here is nothing less than masterful. Go to Full Review Christopher James AwardsCircuit.com 10/30/2018

Ten Days in the Valley treads over quite a bit of familiar territory. Go to Full Review Funmi Sunmonu Add This To Your List 08/28/2018
I didn't understand the point. Not to say that I don't think that they'll get there, but the very first episode I just didn't understand why I was watching. Why does the audience care? Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 12/20/2017
You don't need to have everyone hiding a secret to make a compelling show, the ten days this show will cover may not be enough to service all these stories. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 07/23/2025 10 successful episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated TV-14 (Ages 14 and Older) for Strong Coarse Language (L) and Intense Violence (V)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 12/12/2018 I watch plenty of dark and gritty shows with flawed main characters but I couldn't get into this show at all because I felt no empathy for the main character; the mother played by Kyra Sedgewick. And it just felt too forced trying to humanise the other characters so that the audience would connect in some way; the sister having fertility treatment, the assistant who's sneaking around with the ex but feels bad about it. I just didn't care. See more 01/09/2018 Ten Days in the Valley felt like Ten YEARS in the Valley. They could have fit this story into a two-hour movie (made for Lifetime movie). What a waste of Kyra Sedgwick. See more 01/07/2018 My husband and I really liked this series. It is on the edge suspenseful and it's a tremendous cast all the way around. See more 01/07/2018 Story of a horrible mother and lazy show runner/producer who's daughter is kidnapped while she's getting coked up. Tons of implausible conspiracies and title character thinks she's edgy because she's in her 50s and wears "Chucks". See more 01/07/2018 Waiting for next season See more Read all reviews
