Top of the Lake - Netflix

[SerenDippitty]

Anyone watching/watched this? Just finished season one. Detective series set in New Zealand, directed by Jane Campion who directed the film The Piano. It’s really quite good. Fabulous scenery, very atmospheric and great acting.

I've seen it and enjoyed it. Second one not as good but still definitely worth watching

Yes I watched it! Season 1 was fantastic. Really loved it. Not sure what charged with season two but I couldn’t finish it. It felt very different and just nowhere near as good. It was a while ago now and I can’t remember exactly what I felt was wrong with it, I just remember having a confused “this sucks” face a lot.

I just finished season one and loved it. Hope season two isn't too disappointing.

Oh I hated it.

I watched it to find out what was going on-the ending was such a (predictable) let down.

Peter Mullan great in it though.

Weirdly, I loved season two but couldn't get into season 1. I loved the Nicole Kidman character

Season 1 - fab. Season 2 - WTAF?!

Come on, season 2 had Gwendoline Christie, Nicole Kidman chewing scenery, the delightful ‘Puss’, and that scene where Robin sets fire to the curtains when David Wenham tries to kill her.

Black

I enjoyed both series but they are very different. Gosh, who could forget 'Puss' in a hurry (shudders)? The actor then turned up in McMafia as the uncle who sparked James Norton's character's descent in organised crime.

I'm on the last one off season 2 now and I absolutely loved it!

Series 1 and 2 are very different but I really liked them both.

Puss is currently Gorbachev on Chernobyl. He’s a fabulous actor.

I sort of enjoyed it but I too found the endings of both series disappointing when you found out what had happened to them. It was not if a let down.

Grrrr should have said bit of a let down.

I started watching Season 2 this evening and enjoyed it - though it is quite different to Season1.

Is this with Elizabeth Moss? Forgotten that was with Peter Mullan too. Series 1 was quite tragic, the storyline, actually both series were.

I'm on the final episode of S2, and as much as I loved both of them, I find the characters way too complicated and I always feel like I have missed an episode or 2.

Does anybody else get a real Clarice Starling /Jodie Foster vibe from Robin?

Still enjoying - but blimey are antipodean males really as awful as portrayed in this!?

Also, when Robin’s daughter’s adoptive dad mentioned that she was 17 and her boyfriend was 42 - no flicker of a reaction. Odd.
