Itunes (US only) has the first episode of the Jane Campion Mini-Series available now for free. I did a mini live tweet of the episode (and didn't give away spoilers). So this is a spoiler free review.
For those wondering what I'm doing with the TOTL Musings posts..I'm watching "Top of the Lake" Episode 1 :)

Top of the Lake first impressions: WOW what fantastic scenery. Brief look at Paradise and the intro of Holly Hunter.

TOTL Musings: Elizabeth Moss pulling off an Australian accent. VERY hard to do for an American. I think she got it with the occasional slip

TOTL Musings: Interesting. Lots of editing of bad words and nudity in the Itunes version. Wonder if that will be unedited in the Oz version

TOTL Musings: here comes @robynmalcolm with an American accent! Heh. Elizabeth Moss is an Aussie and Robyn is an American :)

TOTL Musings: Michelle Ang just showed up as ... Kimmie :)(I suspect only Xena fans will understand that smilie face).

TOTL Musings: OMG @robynmalcolm has one of the best lines in the first ep! LOL! Her delivery was just hysterical. Bravo Robyn!

TOTL Musings: @madeleinesami plays Zena and I nearly didn't recognise Alison Bruce!

TOTL Musings: This is quite a good start; the scenery is spectacular and @robynmalcolm + Holly Hunter standouts! That's it :)
