TV-MASeason 2
No ordinary place. No ordinary crime.
Synopsis
Top of the Lake (2013), Season 2 — subtitled China Girl — is a six-episode crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. Four years after the events that closed season one, Detective Robin Griffin is back in Sydney, trying to rebuild.
A body turns up in a suitcase on Bondi Beach: an unidentified young woman the press dubs China Girl. The case looks like a dead end. Then Robin realises the victim didn't die alone, and the trail runs through Sydney's sex trade and a hidden surrogacy racket. Paired with eager rookie Miranda, she chases the leads while something far more personal tugs at her. The daughter she gave up as a teenager has resurfaced, and the girl has fallen under the spell of a dangerous man.
Created by Jane Campion, this season swaps New Zealand fog for the glare of the city. Elizabeth Moss anchors it again, joined by Nicole Kidman and Gwendoline Christie. Grittier and more claustrophobic than the first run. Stream Top of the Lake Season 2 online on iFILM.
