Top of the Lake 2013

This show was a gigantic waste of talent. The big problem is that it didn't seem to know what it wanted to be. It was a drama without drama and a mystery without real mystery. It seemed to think that just because you have good actors and dramatic music playing there would be something magically dramatic and it just doesn't work that way. At no point was I invested in any of the characters and at no point did there ever really feel like there was a real mystery. The characters just kind of meandered through mediocre story lines. Season 2 did seem to have a better arc but it was still troubled by all of the above. It's such a shame to see Moss, Kidman and Hunter wasted in this way.

The contrast check out The Sinner to see how drama/mystery should be done.
