Netflix subscribers and thrillers go together like peanut butter and jelly, so I'm not surprised to see "The Secret Woman" stick around in the top 10 for a second week in a row. The new Danish psychological thriller pulled in over 11 million views in just three days. Adapted from the 2017 novel of the same name by Anna Ekberg, it stars Natalie Madueño as Louise, a doting wife living a quiet life on a Norwegian island with her partner, Joachim (Pål Sverre Hagen).That is, until a stranger shatters her world, revealing she's actually Helene Söderberg, a Danish woman who disappeared three years earlier. A DNA test confirms this, and Louise discovers she has a husband (Claes Bang), a young son, and a wealthy family she has no memory of. She returns to Denmark to learn about her life before the disappearance, but as fragments of her past begin to come to light, she begins to suspect her picture-perfect former life was anything but.Sign up to the weekly Tom's Streaming Guide to stay in the loop with the latest releases and top recommendations across your favorite streaming services.
