Elisabeth Moss' Performance.

From your second sentence onward I agree with what you say. That is what professional drama is about. Still it is a fact that Hollywood does use their media as vehicles for advancing their leftist viewpoints. Hollywood pushes leftist viewpoints, the execs admit this. Just as they try to avoid hiring actors who hold conservative viewpoints or support conservative candidates; they admit this.
I don't believe that everyone on the set feels this way. I think the actors, for the most part, just want to do a great job, and make a great product. But the execs, the shot callers, they are leftists, they decided decades ago to use narrative and emotion to spread their social and political viewpoints. This is really the case.

Again, I think Top of the Lake is an excellent piece of work. It lacks that Hollywood feel, there is none of the Hollywood leftist moral of the story feel to it. It is just a great story, with interesting characters, great acting, and subplots, all coming together, tying up loose ends, answering questions raised earlier in the series. In other comments I have said the same; and I would love to see more work from UKTV and Aussie TV (something like that) because it was a very enjoyable series.

Clearly there is an anti men agenda : there is an anti men agenda in practically every film Jane Campion has ever made. Almost every male character in almost every thing she has ever produced is a despicable scum bag and usually a rapist. Perhaps she just is silly enough to think this is a clever way to lure a bigger female audience, but it is far more likely this agenda is really due to her own personal feelings toward men.
