Top of the Lake - Season 2
We come back again to offer a wide range of events and surprises that look quite different. The second season begins with a series of surprises, most notably followed by Robin's intuition after the results of heterogeneous and unanticipated DNA, in addition, struggling to make up for lost time while an inevitable confrontation with the sharp remnants of New Zealand will have devastating consequences.

Emotionally charged moments and razor-sharp bits of dialogue are still rattling around in my brain.

In some ways, it's not quite as successful as the first-it's hard to repeat that kind of breakthrough brilliance-but it's undeniably challenging and way more complex than most mystery television.

This Top of the Lake takes us to the bottom of the sea, where it's thrillingly murky.
September 06, 2017
Thanks especially to its actors, Top of the Lake: China Girl succeeds at putting forward a vision that... shines a spotlight on the horrors inflicted on women. And this time in our own backyard.

While there is a deliberately unsatisfying, incomplete air to the series - kind of like real life - you can't fault Top of the Lake for its ambition or its performances, which remain, as before, entirely enthralling.

Elisabeth Moss [is] shockingly, mesmerisingly good.

Campion, Lee, and Moss have joined together to craft a shattering piece of storytelling; one that is entirely unique and painfully necessary.
