Top of the Lake was pretty hard going, and one episode made me cry, which I never do with TV, but I was glad I pushed through to the end, which had some surprisingly hopeful stuff. I completely support not watching it, though!

Yes! I've been meaning to try Luther. Have you watched any of it? Shall we start at the beginning?

I love your recaps, too! Did you like the end of Desolation Island, with making the forge? I really liked Fortune of War, too--it seemed one of the most thoughtful.
