Top of the Lake plot
Police detective Robin Griffin returns to the New Zealand village where she grew up and experienced something terrible in her youth. She can get to work right away: the twelve-year-old daughter of the local underworld king is suicidal, pregnant and possibly raped, and after an initial interrogation is lost. Possible suspects abound among the many dubious male residents of Laketop, a community near an icy and fathomless lake. There are also queer women, led by GJ, an enigmatic guru who sets up her encampment for damaged women near the water's edge. The trail to the missing girl cuts across the disrupted community and confronts Detective Griffin with her dark past.

Watched this series after my Nicole Kidman marathon (even though she's only in season 2). I also saw that this series had piqued my interest in the past, so it had to be.
It starts interestingly and there are a number of exciting twists, nothing really big or special, but still captivating. The series mainly relies on the atmosphere. The images are truly stunning and the characters are well introduced. In contrast to others, it is easy to watch. However, the ending is a bit disappointing, because I had hoped for something more.

I totally agree with Kasparovski, everything just worked less. Less atmosphere, less stickiness, less unforgettable roles and moments, at times this even tended to a certain amount of pretentiousness that I really didn't like. Unfortunately.
