THE SECRETS SHE KEEPS DVD

AMC Networks’ Sundance Now features the DVD debut of the suspenseful and intense psychological thriller THE SECRETS SHE KEEPS on December 8, 2020. Based on the novel of the same name by Michael Robotham, the 6-part series revolves around the lives and connection between two heavily pregnant women (Laura Carmichael, Downton Abbey and Jessica De Gouw, The Crown, Arrow) who meet in a supermarket just outside of Sydney. Both have secrets that gradually emerge as their worlds collide. Now on a 2-Disc DVD set ($34.99, Amazon.com) with a 19-minute bonus feature, The Secret She Keeps previously premiered in July on Sundance Now, AMC Networks’ premiere streaming service for engrossing true crime, heart-stopping dramas and fiercely intelligent thrillers from around the world.

Two women have an encounter in a supermarket in an affluent Sydney suburb. They are the same age, both heavily pregnant and due at the same time. Meghan (De Gouw) is a glamorous online influencer on the rise with an ambitious television sports reporter husband, Jack (Michael Dorman, Patriot, For All Mankind). Agatha (Carmichael) works in the supermarket as a shelf stacker.

 

Although they live near each other, the two women’s lives could not be more different: Agatha is a loner, barely living above the poverty line. She’s ecstatic to be pregnant, pinning all her hopes and dreams on this much longed-for ‘miracle baby.’ Yet, the father of her unborn child is a sailor on active duty and remains mixed to her condition. Meghan is a sophisticated mother-of-two who uses her website to reframe her imperfect life into a glossier, more aspirational existence. Despite posting enthusiastically about her pregnancy to her avid followers, including Agatha, behind closed doors, this third baby is putting pressure on a strained marriage.

 

Both women have secrets. And both will risk everything to conceal the truth. But their worlds are about to collide in one shocking act that cannot be undone.

My Thoughts

The Secrets She Keeps is a thriller series centering around two pregnant women who live very different lives. One is a affluent social media influencer and the other works in a grocery store. The only thing they have in common is that they both have something to hide. 

1-Agatha becomes obsessed with Meghan's perfect life.

2- Meghan's secret is revealed and her revised due date complicates matters makes Agatha's  plan more complicated.

3-Meghan is preparing to have her baby and has no idea she's in danger. One of Agatha's secrets is revealed.

4-Agatha's new baby makes everything seem perfect until one of her exes shows up.

5-Agatha dares to approach Meghan. Soon her past may catch up with her.

6-Agatha tries to glee when Meghan fights to get her child back.

This was a really intense series filled with riveting twists and deep emotion. I definitely intend to pick up the book that inspired this series. If you'd like to grab a copy of this awesome movie on DVD, you can find it in stores nationwide or online at Amazon.
