Top of the Lake. Mmmm....

[partystress]

Weird but has me hooked. Anyone else watching?

Whatever the ending is, it's bloody intriguing. That's a triumph in itself.
I think the women's camp is there to remind us that the men are the shits, in quite a whimsical way
I watched the documentary but am absolutely none the wiser and indeed would like to poke both the writers with something sharp. However I love what they have created. (And hate it.)

I can't wait for you all to see it so we can discuss!

I love the emotional aspect of this drama - it's got thrills as well, but nice to see real proper human stories, and not just your usual "detective with childcare/drink/general moodiness" problems.

I also think the presence of the women's camp serves to amplify some of the feelings eg the return of Jamie's body and the sighting of Tui. Because the women are so collectively emotional in their responses. And they are a useful foil to the Mitcham family - they are from two completely different worlds and it sort of makes it more three-dimensional and quirky that they have to interact.
I am really enjoying this - intriguing is exactly the word for it, Treaguez!

Saturday is tooooo far away! :(

My god I sobbed when Jamie died. He was lovely.

When Matt showed up to the wake/funeral... I am so glad Jamie's mother told him where to go. He did look rather shaken.

Peter Mullan is mesmerising. So loathsome and yet compelling as a character. I'm still not sure whether or not he was abusing Tui. Isn't that was his son said he saw when they had the talk?

Have caught up on iplayer. Loving this. I'm hooked and can't wait for the finale!

Me too - very depressing but somehow so good.
I didn't like the idea of Robin shooting herself, only hinted at in the preview scenes for next week, and I'm sure it won't happen, but I was really upset at the idea.

That scene of Simone desperately trying to carry her boy from the boat still makes me tear up even thinking about it. And when she told Matt where to go I thought it was brilliant. I agree he looked so stunned at her reaction - like he never thought that could happen. He's such a messed up malevolent character I'm sort of hoping he gets redeemed somehow....
I don't think Robin shoots herself but she seems to be filming her reflection - didn't GJ say something like 'you have to die to yourself' ???
Looking forward to Saturday too!

Really looking forward to it tonight.
Need a stiff drink beforehand though!

Have it on record as kids havin sleep over so will watch it tomorrow

Thoroughly confused!!

Excellent.

Amazing how they managed to get the denouement over in that one scene. Far better than showing what was going on.

veyr good. I think I have made my mind up
are we not allowed to disucss yet??

Well without giving anything away I think they rushed the final episode. A major event (Matt) seemed rushed and then forgotten. I have so many questions!! Can we discuss it yet??

Please can the post series analysis start, going to be up half the night feeding my baby and need something to keep me awake.

Were the DNA results BS made up by Al to cover himself? Cld Al be Tui's baby's father?

Can we can we??

It almost seems too obvious that the baby was Matts. And no evidence other than Al's DNA 'results'.

Yes last episode too rushed, wld have liked to have understood more about Matt who was a pivitol character.

As the OP I declare post-end discussions allowed! SPOILER ALERT - don't read on if you haven't seen yet!

yeah, I think the dna results were made up to be matt's although he did behave very oddly about tui's baby in the end.

were her friends drugged or dead?
did they have graduation parties? and were drugged and forced into sex?

Anyone out there...?!

Bloody fab. I'm not too bothered that some bits were left floating and some didn't tie up, but it was gripping.

Don't think I've given too much away there....

Yes, more of Matt, he was a great yet loathsome character. Sorry to be thick but something clicked for Robyn when she was looking at the wall of employees in the cafe. What?

I didn't think it was too rushed - quite liked the way death is death even when you have been such a huge figure while alive. The contrast with the reactions to and time given to Jamie's death was one of the key messages I thought. By the end, I thought it was a better series than I had thought by the end of ep 5 iyswim.

The click in the café was that the girl who 'committed suicide by jumping in front of a car' had also been a graduate of the barista scheme and yet Al had made it seem like he had barely been aware of her.
