Top of the Lake
Final episode spoilers and general series ranting.
AUGH
Last episode fizzled so bad for me. I didn’t care who Tui’s father was as that point. I didn’t care about the pedophile ring. I wanted to see Robin in ruins. Not maliciously, but because it felt like the entire series was Robin’s death spin towards ultimate self destruction.
When she shows up at Al’s house I was certain that she was wrong, that he was only a little corrupt but ultimately that he was innocent and by shooting him, she was finished.
Robin destroyed everything else she touched and for me it felt like the ultimate irony it was building up to was that scene.
But of course, Hollywood ending. :p
Initially I thought the Tui story line was going to be a very dark mystery. Instead it turned into a McGuffin that dragged the rest of the character drama along. No one seemed really concerned by it. Not really what I was looking for when I started watching, but meh.
