Top of the Lake

I forgot to post that over the weekend I watched the BBC miniseries Top of the Lake. This crime drama takes place in a small isolated town in New Zealand, amidst breathtakingly large uninhabited land.

The young female detective gets involved in the disappearance of a pregnant 12-year old girl. In the course of the investigation she interacts and gets involved with a number of strange, creepy, and unsavory characters.

Top of the Lake is dark and moody. Rich with unique performances. The crime investigation was probably the least interesting aspect of the miniseries.
