Juonikuvaukset(1)
Nuori raskaana oleva tyttö kävelee hyytävän kylmään järveen ja katoaa. Peloton, mutta kokematon nuori poliisi Robin Griffin saa tehtäväkseen tutkia tapausta. Tytön etsintä on pian vallannut Robinin elämän täysin ja samalla avannut oven etsivän omaan menneisyyteen, jota hän on aikaisemmin yrittänyt pitää kaikin keinoin salaisuutena. (Atlantic Film Fin.)

Season 1 (2013) (S01)
Top of the Lake is... intense. Really intense. First off, coming from the Lord of the Rings era, I always thought New Zealand was full of chill, nature-loving folks. But this show? Not so much. It's also incredibly feminist—almost to the point where I'm shocked there are any halfway normal male characters at all. Most of the guys are just way off, and I really struggled to connect with the cast. Even though it's a solid crime drama, it gives off the vibe that the entire area is inhabited by psychopaths instead of regular people, which is definitely a problem. That said, it's still a fascinating watch. I’m curious to see what season two brings—I'm guessing Australia’s next in line to get roasted, and maybe it deserves it more.

China Girl (2017) (S02)
I was hoping the second season would bring some fresh changes—new setting, new cast—it had potential. But no, it didn’t. It carries the same vibe as the first season. Sure, there’s a new case, new characters, and Australia replacing New Zealand, but the overall result feels exactly the same. The characters are still annoying, with Elisabeth Moss being even more grating than in season one. Jane Campion’s direction is unapologetically feminist, which is fine, but for some reason, her work always leaves me feeling pretty uncomfortable as a guy.
