Top of the Lake (2013–2017)
7/10
Season two - back to the city
27 July 2017
The first season seemed like a done deal, but here we are, back with the main character in her old digs, being a cop again. This is a straight procedural with the usual personal side plots, and the really tall woman from Game of Thrones tossed in (don't you want to climb her?).

Ignoring season one, and how this has absolutely nothing to do with it (where's the lake??), this is pretty good. The cast is great, and it's a decent coincidence plot, where all the relationships are going to collide (not a spoiler, it's obvious). As a time passer, fine. But it doesn't have the mystery and weirdness of the first season, they may as well just started over with new characters.

The main problem is, I suppose, that it's just another of a long string of these things, mainly out of England, mainly with women cops. They're okay, but one after another gets a little stale.
