Top of the Lake (2013)

(New Zealand TV mini series)

I watched episodes 1 + 2 and felt that I knew the direction this was headed and skipped over to episode 7. I feel that I made the correct choice. Elisabeth Moss's acting was very good. Although Holly Hunter's performance was adequate, it could not rise above the script. The rest of the performances, well let's be kind and blame it on the writers. Perhaps the pointless, mindless violence, greed and depravity was intended to be an analogy for the current state of humanity. However the image of Holly Hunter's character leaving "Paradise" with her luggage as fast as she could was an ironic comparison to my relief that this movie was over.
