A raw, emotionally charged sibling drama about breaking destructive patterns
A bold, character‑driven drama from award‑winning director Kaspar Munk. Following its acclaimed December launch on TV 2 in Denmark, Secrets has resonated strongly with audiences for its raw honesty, powerful performances, and intimate portrayal of family dysfunction.
The series follows siblings Mads and Eva, who live side by side in Copenhagen while struggling to break free from the destructive patterns shaped by their childhood. As Mads spirals into addiction and a double life he can no longer hide, Eva faces a crisis of her own - forcing both to confront loyalty, responsibility, and the emotional ties that bind them.
With short, gripping episodes and standout performances from a top-tier ensemble cast Secrets is a contemporary, character‑driven drama with universal resonance.
