I'm not sold on this one... The whole premise feels like a contrived way to get out of paying taxes 
. I mean, who comes up with a scheme to "keep" someone dead just to get their life insurance payout? It sounds like something out of a bad comedy movie 
. And don't even get me started on the supporting cast... Craig Roberts is actually pretty great in other roles, but here he's just playing the same old "struggling son" trope 
.I'm also not buying the claim that this show uses its witty banter and comedic timing to charm viewers
. I mean, we've all seen plenty of comedies with funnier jokes and more clever writing 
. And what's up with the lack of transparency about how much the insurance payout is ? Where's the accountability in that?Overall, I'd say this show feels like a rehashing of old British sitcom formulas without adding anything new or interesting to the mix
. Can You Keep a Secret? might be an okay watch if you're into farce and have a strong stomach for absurdity 
, but it's not blowing me away in any way 
.
The supporting cast is also top-notch, particularly Craig Roberts as the son Harry who's struggling to keep up with his mum's antics. 
The show's got a great balance of witty banter and heartwarming moments that'll have you smiling from ear to ear. 
I'm not gonna lie, some of the jokes might be a bit duff but overall it's a solid watch that's all about having a good time!
