A very watchable, albeit slightly shallow, exploration of how femininity and motherhood intertwine and toxify. Go to Full Review
Allison Keene Paste Magazine 04/19/2021
7.4/10
Without performances as layered and emotionally sound as the ones Carmichael and De Gouw give, The Secrets She Keeps would be little more than the aforementioned pulpy ride. It's still pretty cockamamie, but in a way that is also fully believable. Go to Full Review
John Doyle Globe and Mail 04/14/2021
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. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider 04/20/2021
The leads bring more than enough credibility to their roles to make the series worth watching. Go to Full Review
Anne Brodie What She Said 07/20/2020
Laura Carmichael goes solidly against the image of Downton Abbey's Lady Edith in [The Secrets She Keeps]. Go to Full Review
Camilla Long Sunday Times (UK) 07/20/2020
The whole thing is held together by Laura Carmichael as Aggie, a compulsive liar played at the screeching end of camp, complete with weird, limp hair and beaky fury. Go to Full Review

Bob S @RT48541814 08/14/2023 The Secrets She Keeps is packed with one ridiculous plot point after another with seemingly intelligent people making one bone-headed move after another. Doesn't Australia have the morning after pill? Oh, I forgot --- there wouldn't be a season two if the lead character had taken reasonable precautions after her one-night stand. .... See more 05/27/2021 Good for binging. The acting is strong even if the show is a glorified soap opera. See more donna m @DonnaM 12/14/2020 Predictable and drawn out. See more 06/08/2020 There are some TV shows that are so bad, they're good. This is not one of them. For a premise with this much potential, the dialogue is so incredibly forced and poorly delivered that it leaves a lot to be desired. I wanted to have sympathy for the characters, but instead I experienced second-hand embarrassment at all of the choices made by both the cast and creatives. This is a mediocre student film at best, or a train wreck of a season at worst. See more Read all reviews
