Jan 23, 2021There is a good story to be told here, but it gets lost amongst the implausible screenplay.

Set against this much more conventional backdrop, the holes in Campion’s detective story are clearer, but the story and the dialogue have been heightened to the point of absurdist theater, as if to compensate. ... The ending of the final episode points to a third installment of Top of the Lake, although at this point fans of the first season might be more inclined to pretend the second never happened.

Some of the most mesmerizing hours of television all year. [15 Sep 2017, p.66]

Characters alive enough to care for. (Alive enough that you would prefer they think a minute and make the smart decision, even at the price of writing the series out of existence. Mostly they won't, fortunately, but sometimes they will--also fortunately.) Once you're in it, you're in for the duration.
