Top of the Lake (2013–2017)
7/10
A 7 for brilliant acting, and wonderful scenery. 0 for plot closure and surprise

The only reason why I decided to write this review is because I was disappointed that I was not warned before seeing this show.

Don't get me wrong, the show had an amazing cast, especially Elisabeth Moss and Peter Mullan who kind of made this show the best it can be. Plus, the scenery is unbelievable. I started looking for flights to NZ after watching.

However, to all of those who usually get things right away, and notice details, you are about to be disappointed, because you will know from the get go (in episodes 1-3) what's about to happen. that was the thing that by the end, made me sad, because I knew all along, and they didn't hide it very well (too obvious in my opinion).

As a viewer, aren't you supposed to be surprised (watching a detective show!)? well, I wasn't. For all of you who are pretty good with intuition, don't watch this thinking you will have an ending that will blow your mind, because you won't. You can still enjoy the acting and the amazing footage.
