The first season of the crime drama series Top of the Lake where the investigator investigates the case of the disappearance of a 12-year-old girl also pregnant. The investigator was coming to New Zealand to visit her sick mother when they told her she had to search and find the missing girl. What would she do in that case?
The dialogue is measured and never preachy or overwhelming. Events unfold and secrets are unearthed without breaking the peace that hides the corruption and depravity of Laketop.
The series did what independent cinema once did best: take a familiar format and fold it in on itself like origami, until what remains is both totally unexpected and deeply beautiful.
Its world is so specific and transcendently trippy, haunted by mythic legends rooted in this unforgiving geography, that it feels wondrously fresh, alien and unforgettable.
The more we learn about Robin, the more interesting she is, and Moss is really outstanding here as a character shaped by a past we gradually learn about.
Top of the Lake will leave you on the edge of your seat, begging to learn more about the strange characters, Tui's secrets, and Robin's mysterious past.
The mystery hangs over the entire six hours but the story revolves around the characters and the unsettling atmosphere of the community as she churns up the uneasy frontier existence with her investigation.
