I bingewatched "Top of the Lake: China Girl". It turned out to be much better than the first mini-series though its reviews were mixed (as if I cared!). Elisabeth Moss is a Goddess of Acting (I wish she weren´t a Scientologist, though...), and Gwendoline Christie finally found a role to prove she is much more than Brienne from GoT. She´s amazing, goofy, funny and heartbreaking, all in one.
"Yes I wore no makeup for this..."
Go figure that the weakest link here is Nicole Kidman: she plays one of those godawfully ugly beeches she likes to play lately, a woman who can´t stand the teenage daughter she adopted and is leaving her hub for an incredibly preachy, dumb lesbian. If this hadn´t been directed by Jane Campion, I´d say it´s an anti-lesbian story, which is not.
The story has a couple of loose ends and predictable twists, but otherwise is a 6-hour masterpiece set in the beautiful city of Sydney. Too bad that Moss´ own "The Handmaid´s Tale" and Kidman´s own "Big Little Lies" overshadowed this when Emmys were awarded. I was sad to read that Moss wouldn´t come back for a third season, which is likely to happen.
