Viewers had mixed reviews for the final episode

However, others thought the ending was more than satisfactory, and any other plot lines were left open for a potential second series. "Really enjoyed The Secrets She Keeps on BBC. Some unanswered questions so another series perhaps," tweeted one person.

Another echoed these thoughts, writing: "Wow what an ending to #TheSecretsSheKeeps so dramatic! Quite a few twists and turns there. I have found this a gripping story that has really tugged at the heartstrings and pulled you in so many different directions. Wouldn't mind a series 2." The BBC are yet to announce another series of the psychological thriller.
