"Top of the Lake" | Available to Stream on Hulu
Plot: This two-season series begins as Detective Robin Griffin investigates the disappearance of a pregnant 12-year-old girl in New Zealand.
Our Take: The first season of this TV series aired before true-crime podcasters were touring the world like musicians. Five years later, when Elisabeth Moss returned as Detective Robin Griffin for an unexpected second season, "The Handmaid's Tale" was a phenomenon, and creator Jane Campion introduced Nicole Kidman, Gwendoline Christie, and Alice Englert into a final story arc that didn't shy away from exploring the effects of the job on Det. Griffin. — Arno
