The SecretBased on a true story, the British drama miniseries “The Secret” presents a disturbing tale about Colin Howell (James Nesbitt).At first glance, Colin appears to be an ordinary citizen like so many others\u2014a successful dentist, caring father, and faithful husband. However, after meeting and soon starting an affair with married teacher Hazel (Genevieve O’Reilly), his dark side gradually begins to surface, with deadly consequences…\u00a02. The Ex-WifeThe marriage of young Tasha (C\u00e9line Buckens) and middle-aged Jack (Tom Milson) would certainly be described by their neighbors as idyllic and full of love, but the real truth will soon prove to be completely different.Tasha is relentlessly pursued by Jack’s ex-wife Jen (Janet Montgomery), who cannot come to terms with the new situation, which will only be one drop in the turbulent sea of problems that Tasha will soon find herself in…\u00a03.

Karen PirieSmart, charming, unconventional, and more than quick-witted, Karen Pirie (Lauren Lyle) is a young police sergeant with a bright career ahead of her\u2014despite soon discovering that she was promoted to the Historic Cases Unit of the Scottish police simply because she is a woman.Determined to prove herself, Karen will devote all her efforts to solving a cold case, the brutal murder of a barmaid committed in 1995 in picturesque St. Andrews, unaware of the direction her investigation will ultimately take her…\u00a0"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"En","item":"https:\/\/blog.pickboxnow.com\/en\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Best Miniseries You Can Watch in a Day","item":"https:\/\/blog.pickboxnow.com\/en\/the-best-miniseries-you-can-watch-in-a-day\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
