      What to know

      Critics Consensus

      Top of the Lake remains impressively idiosyncratic and ambitious in its second season, even if the plot of this six-episode arc isn't quite as tightly wound as its predecessor's. Read critic reviews

      • Jun 24, 2023

        There is a good story to be told here, but it gets lost amongst the implausible screenplay. Disappointing

      • Oct 25, 2022

        Well I made it through the first two episodes, feel asleep out of boredom and irritation, and have no interest in continuing to the end. I just didn't like many of the characters this season. Nicole Kidmans character and daughter bit was so whiny I just wanted to throw something at the TV. Critics got this one wrong, I think they gave it a good rating just because it was "gritty". Gritty can still be annoying. Not worth the time.

        I may have to give up on this series after three episode - everyone is just too nasty particularly the male characters. What's the male of misogynist? Misandrogist? Anyway, that. From the chief cop to Mary's freakish boyfriend, to the shot cop from the previous series (an unbelievable cad, to use an old word), to the porn-loving students. The boyfriend Johnno from the previous series, a likeable character if ever there was (who Robin was going to marry) is now disdainfully swatted away like a fly. The writers/directors seem to really have it in for men. And there's a female(?) cop who's weird to the point of surreal, and doesn't seem consistent: at first adoring of Robin (the lead), then not. And Robin herself, though impressive, always seems poised on the point of breakdown - not surprising, perhaps, given what's made to happen to her in this series. A very bleak view of human nature. No Australian beach paradise, this.

        Very poorly written. Leaves you frustrated, in almost all the episodes. Can't bear the ending (or not an ending at all) as well.
