Top of the Lake

gangy5 when I can't follow something, I go online and search for an 'Episode Guide' there are any number of sites to choose from, and I catch up by reading about the previous episodes of a show, or sometimes even the one I'm busy watching!

Tegan the lead character is also in Mad Men. We started watching it from Episode 2, think we'll stick with it, but it is a bit strange. Holly Hunter talks as if her teeth are loose in her mouth... I can actually ignore her character and still follow the story Also I just drift away a bit and watch the scenery. It's beautiful.

Quite enjoyed the first 2 episodes but am afraid I threw in the towel yesterday evening!! (about half way through) Couldn't manage to tie things up and found it all rather weird.

I am intrigued by it, and will continue to watch. I can't get my head round the men, though, and let's be honest the women are rather odd, aren't they?

We knew what we meant; a word that's spelled like that deserves to be spelled [spelt?] wrong; sounds like an anagram of itself anyway.

Oops! Just realised it should be 'misogynistic'...

I'm looking forward to seeing The Returned in it's entirety when I buy it [no adverts!]. The girl in TOTL looks familiar; was she in Whale Rider [yet another film that I bought years ago but never got round to watching]? Yes; I'm surprised at how mysoginistic the men are; perhaps our antibodean gransnetters will inform us .

Husband, who loves his dark Nordic things, also gave this ago having read the recommendations - he loathed it, much prefers The Returned.
Mind you, I loved The Piano but felt instinctively he would not....and was right.

I'm enjoying Top of the Lake, although are NZ men these days really still so mysoginistic? Wonderful scenery, and I like the fact that the lead actress isn't at all glamorous!

I only watched the 1st episode, found it very strange and the characters weird so I gave up.

I've got 4 more episodes to go but think I'll stick with it. Not sure if it's my hearing these days but often struggle to make out what they are saying [especially Holly Hunter who talks as if her mouth is full of cotton wool]; think it's due to the slightly different accent [or perhaps that's why I tend to prefer programmes of this kind with subtitles nowadays]. And The Mill is starting tonight as well; thought it might be awful but has had good reviews. So many programmes; so little time [and still haven't seen The Returned so have to buy it on dvd].

I fell asleep during last week's episode but watched it (with sub-titles as both OH and I cannot get past the mumbling!), it's rather strange but somehow I need to know what is going to happen next!

I've given up
