Top of the Lake
Is anybody else watching it? The first two episodes just screamed "weird" but the gorgeous New Zealand scenery kept us watching. By the end of the fourth episode we were hooked. Elizabeth Moss will probably snag awards for her acting. She can be a brittle character but she has a fantastic meltdown in the fourth episode. It's the first show I've watched in a while that has me on edge waiting for the next installment.

the girls who were not va-va-voom or socially connected...they were the ones who had to work to support themselves (no husband)
They rejected their small-town mores, and struck out on their own. They were the workhorses of the offices everywhere..many were just like Peggy...mousy, quiet, eager to learn (even though many would never advance in the company, and would often head back to their hometowns & find a guy to marry)
Then there were the show-horses (Joan), who may not have wanted to marry a boss, but who used their sexiness to make their jobs as advantageous as possible..(many did have affairs with bosses and some married them)
In the early 60's most women did not have college degrees, and the ones who did were usually teachers...not office workers.. Office work was the jumping off point where women started in the business world. After a few years of doing most of the actual work, lots of women like Peggy succeeded in business.. 
on Monday night! I agree - a little Twin Peaks, and a little The Killing... nice mix
Elizabeth Moss is really impressive.
