Often, the worlds of rich socialites look fancy and fulfilled from the outside, but on the inside are buried many secrets that, if unraveled, could tear their prestige apart. At least this is mostly what crime dramas on the 'Richie Rich' have often told us through screen adaptation. And following this guidebook of lavish houses, fancy meals, glittering soirees, and blood on hands, is this thriller, The Reserve, on Netflix.

The Reserve, also known as Secrets We Keep, is a new Nordic crime drama series that arrived on the platform on May 15. Giving you a break from the world of romance and comedy, this thriller promises to take you to the intense depths of crimes of the posh. Here is everything you need to know about the chilling true crime documentary.

The Reserve, aka Secrets We Keep, revolves around the disappearance of young Filipino au pair Ruby from one of Denmark's most affluent neighbourhoods, north of Copenhagen. Involvement of the neighbor, Cecilie, and a self-initiated investigation by her au pair, Angel, makes the matters worse. The investigation comes with more twists and turns while suspicions of a crime grow.

The gripping mystery has so much more to offer when the power structures and privileges within the beautiful homes start to be exposed. While Cecilie is committed to unravelling the truth, her initiative is put to the test when Ruby's disappearance turns out to be also connected to her own family.

After this turn of events, Cecile is forced to confront her blind spots and question the parenting rules in which she is raising her children in a whole new light.

Starring the fantastic cast of known faces from Netflix, it stars Marie Bach Hansen as Cecilie, Danica Curcic, Simon Sears, Lars Ranthe, Sara Fanta Traore, Excel Busano, Donna Levkovski as Ruby, Lukas Zuperka, and Frode Bilde Rønsholt. 

After witnessing the actor's previous performances on Netflix and other platforms like Marie Bach Hansen on The Legacy, Henrik Prip on The Substitute, Lizzielou Corfixen on The Girl With the Needle, and others, they are once again awarded the right part in this thriller, making it a perfect fit in this aftermath where secrets and conflicts are simmering.

While The Reserve unveils secrets of the rich, the ravishing reviews it got are no secret at all. Collider quickly compared it to this year's two major hits, Adolescence and The White Lotus, and said that the series takes on the uncomfortable, timely material is very much a "blunt exploration of the disparities between the hyper-rich and the disenfranchised".

The functional use of whodunit elements was appreciated, and Collider termed The Reserve as an intelligent, engaging, and even darkly fun miniseries. Heaven of Horror appreciated how the series managed a deep dive into one particular world while also being objective in many ways. Though Netflix is gearing up for a hot summer with many thrillers coming on board, there is something different about the charm of Secrets We Keep. Maintaining the main element of mystery like the old classics, The Reserve could easily be your next binge-watch.
