Brilliant acting

I found this series mesmerising. The acting of Elisabeth Moss and of Nicole Kidman was of the highest order, but actually for me Gwen Christie, playing the leads geeky side kick was a wonderful surprise. Campion takes us to the uncomfortable, there was a lot of rape intertwined in this story. It deals with the seedy side of life prostitution and surregacy for financial gain. All the characters are well developed, some intriguing some revolting. The initial early development of plot and character invested well into the overall story. There are lots of twists turns surprises and Campion creates the uncomfortable scenes extremely well. This is not a pacey action packed crime drama. There is drama and some action. It's strength is in taking you into relationships, usually dysfunctional and absorbing you into the plot and characters. I sincerely hope there is a TOTL 3 there is plenty to further develop and please let Gwen Christie be in it! She as is Moss are going to be in top demand in the very near future.
