Top of the Lake (2013–2017)
1/10
Contrived, lame and predictably frustrating
2 January 2019
We watched this and with each episode we found ourselves saying "if adults are this weak and such ineffectual losers then the future is very, very bleak". Yes, it's just a show, but it is another indicator of what our society has become. The characters are all spineless beta personalities - they spend more time wallowing in their angst than dealing with life's issue.

It was the last week of the year, we were home and we decided to watch this series. After being caught up in the first two episodes, we started to see the plot line turning into the usual "all drama and no substance" scenarios that so many of these series become.

It was frustrating to see characters portrayed as such stupid, weak and limited personalities.

No spoilers here - the series is in itself a spoiler. If you want to be disappointed and become wary of all other similar series, then go ahead and waste your time.

My opinion - watch something else, this is garbage.

Bad writing, irritating leading characters and a waste of time.
