The things I liked about this series were the interesting location at the mystery of Tui's disappearance and pregnancy. It immediately brought to mind Twin Peaks. The character GJ, whom Iiked, brought a healthy dose of weirdness to the proceedings. So I hung in there to the end in order to see how the story resolved itself.
But that was about all I enjoyed. The dialogue was risible and the plot twists predictable - but the thing that disappointed me the most were the unanswered questions. Why did Peter Mullan's character talk in his native Scottish tongue? Why did he flagellate himself at his mother's grave? Why did he act so weird about his daughter's disappearance? And what was the significance of the plot of land at the top of the lake? And why did Bob think that he would get away with selling the land under Matt's nose. And who owned the land anyway? I could ask another 50 questions that were never addressed during the 7 episodes, but I won't bore you. Top of The Lake has potential, but it was lazily done and without originality.
