Top of the Lake

I recorded the pilot from last night, but I haven't watched it yet. Looks interesting. I'm really tuning in for Elisabeth Moss.

Anyone else looking to watch it?

Never heard of this, might check it out for Moss too.

I remember when this was announced everyone freaked because they thought Moss starring in another show meant she really was off Mad Men, but then we all remembered that they shoot a Mad Men season roughly once in an Olympiad and there was plenty of time for her to do both and calmed down.

Apparently she will be naked.

It's odd, on my first run I didn't much care for Peggy. On subsequent runs she's great. Now I find Moss kind of hot.

But she's a terrific actor. This show looks like it has a cool atmosphere. I like the idea of a female detective in a story that involves violence against women. This show, which I've not seen yet, makes me think of THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, not that I'm expecting anything remotely like that. It's just that Moss can play that kind of hard determination that Foster had.

Normally I'd never watch a detective show, but this looks like a more mature drama.

Wait, Moss is a detective? It's a cop show? Awesome, I'm totally watching this.

I'm probably going to wait and rent the whole thing when it comes out. My AT&T cable service only has Sundance in SD, and it looks like a shitass non-anamorphic DVD on my HDTV, with a tiny, soft image in the center of my TV. My family always watches the SD channels, which I just don't understand. Of course they also watch reality shows, and when they watch MAD MEN it's while my dad plays sodoku on a laptop and my stepmom watches it while using her iPad. :roll:
