This Top of the Lake takes us to the bottom of the sea, where it's thrillingly murky.

In some ways, it's not quite as successful as the first-it's hard to repeat that kind of breakthrough brilliance-but it's undeniably challenging and way more complex than most mystery television.

While there is a deliberately unsatisfying, incomplete air to the series - kind of like real life - you can't fault Top of the Lake for its ambition or its performances, which remain, as before, entirely enthralling.

Call it television, call it a six-hour movie, call it "the future," it doesn't matter. Whatever the hell you call it, Top of the Lake: China Girl is as beautiful and soul-stirring as anything you'll see on any kind of screen this year.

Campion, Lee, and Moss have joined together to craft a shattering piece of storytelling; one that is entirely unique and painfully necessary.
