Top of the Lake

"A solid 3 stars."

"Weirdest of all shows… slow pace, eccentric characters, and yet I finished S1 because of a couple of good character development that followed and cinematography— set in stunning place. All in all, I don’t understand all the glowing reviews on rotten tomatoes. "

"Despite the other reviews saying this was a slow burn series, I really didn’t feel like it was. I am incredibly impatient with slow-burn plots and tend to stop watching if the pace doesn’t pick up after the first 2-3 episodes. I found this kept my interest the entire season. I enjoyed it. "

"Ok the first season is better than season 2 - I just got sick of all the implausibility aspects and plot threads that disappear. Acting is excellent in both seasons. Like didn’t love it..cinematography in season 1 is beautiful."

"I saw this show when it first aired. Don’t remember much about it except that I considered it to be very good! Might have to watch it again. "

"The second season couldn’t keep my interest as much as the first which was disappointing because the storyline was so relevant. It also ends with an unusual cliffhanger."

"First season was pretty good. Second season couldn’t keep my interest "

"This show is completely bizarre. Recommended to anyone who likes a good twist and turn, who likes a good mystery, who likes empowered women, and anyone who wants to be captivated by a tale of all things taboo."

"Also, if you enjoyed the main character in this show I would recommend the show The Killing. The female lead characters are each show is somewhat similar in how they view life, trauma, etc. "

"I really can't review this, other than saying I watched the first episode 3 times and I just can't get through it! Someone wrote that there were weird/eccentric characters and because of this I've tried watching it 3 different times. I just remember the girl walking into the lake abd little else. It's a shame."
