This Sundance Channel miniseries is dark, creepy, and really good. Set in New Zealand, created/co-written/co-directed by New Zealand director/writer Jane Campion (last blogged in Bright Star) and Australian Gerard Lee, it stars American Elisabeth Moss (last blogged for a small part in On the Road), with what sounds to me like an authentic accent from down under, and Peter Mullan (most recently in War Horse), as a detective investigating the disappearance of a 12 year old girl and the girl's scary, drug lord father, respectively. Holly Hunter is in all seven episodes as an American guru of sorts, but is not a star. When I started watching it I had just written about cinematographer Adam Arkapaw in Lore and therefore noticed his credit in this one. His images are gorgeous.
Netflix subscribers should stream it. I think you'll be hooked.
