"Top of the Lake: China Girl"
The second season of Jane Campion's mystery series finds Detective Robin Griffin (Elisabeth Moss) back in Sydney, and in no time she's working a new case after the body of a young woman washes up on the beach. In a subplot that seems to be closely connected to the case, Robin beings a tentative relationship with the young woman (Alice Englert, Campion's real-life daughter) she gave up for adoption — this is a troubled soul who s perhaps not surrounding herself with the most savory characters. Fortunately, Brienne of Tarth has everyone's back, as "Game of Thrones" star Gwendoline Christie has joined the cast, as has Nicole Kidman, who plays the adoptive mother of Robin's daughter. If you quickly consumed shows such as "The Fall" or "Broadchurch" and you haven't yet seen season one of "TotL," strap in for a dark tour of small-town life in New Zealand and then check out this new chapter. — Arno
