Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

gordonthegorilla Season one is truly legendary. An engaging mix of mystery, unique characters & odd situations. Badalamenti's music is amazing. Serial television at it's finest. Season two starts off reasonably well, buts slumps into nonsense & lame melodrama after six or seven episodes. Season three is straight up awful. Totally different feel to the previous seasons. So much pointless filler. Torturously slow. The appearance of many original characters is more of a weak novelty than a clever integration. Just stick to season one & the first third of season two. Everything else sucks.

Lewis The LAPA The mystical forests, the quirky inhabitants, the wacky but brilliant wisdom of Dale Cooper, the evil, sadistic BOB, And even the incredible cherry pie and coffee! I could go on for hours about this masterpiece...But I won't, and I'll try and pour my love of this show into a few paragraphs to save your sanity from melting away. Anyway, relax, sit back, and enjoy!Twin Peaks is a show that came out in the year of 1990 and has captured the hearts and minds of the millions who have watched it since the 8th of April that very year.I discovered Twin Peaks a lot later on, seeing as I wasn't born for a number of years after the show began and sadly cancelled a year later (even though Fire Walk With Me came out in 1992, a must see for any avid Twin Peaks fans out there!) but when I did eventually see it all those years later, I was instantly fascinated by it and everything it stood for, even though at first I was a bit confused as to what the hell was actually going on! But nevertheless, I decided to watch the Pilot again, and THAT was the time I fell into the town of terror and wonder that Twin Peaks is.For most of the 29 episodes (not including the brilliant pilot) that the show ran for it was the best thing on TV at the time, it was compelling, intense, quirky, and unpredictable . What other secrets did Laura Palmer have?, who is this BOB bloke? Who the heck is this little guy who talks backwards and dances to jazzy music? These were the questions that filled our heads for the entirety of the First Season as we followed Cooper, Sheriff Truman and the rest of the gang as they tried to figure out who killed Laura Palmer, Not only this, but we had the many crazy and sometimes ridiculous side stories going on at the same time, such as Ben Horne and Catherine Martel's plan to blow up the sawmill. It worked superbly and seamlessly, but then it came to an end, at least for a while.Season 2 started out strongly, as the investigation on Laura's murder carried on from Season 1, but after the reveal of the killer in episode 14, their hiding in plain sight in episode 15 and then the outcome in episode 16, we are treated to some painfully lame and boring episodes that are just there to fill the required amount of episodes that ABC wanted, this went on for a while as David Lynch, the co-founder of the show and general wacky genius, departed from the TV show and went on to work on other projects.But after all of the mundane rubbish we had to go through we reached the final few episodes that completely save the second half of the second season from complete obliteration, Including my personal favourite episode, Episode 29, the finale, where we are treated to an hour of some of the greatest TV of all time, all spearheaded by Mr David Lynch. Its such a shame that not even this could prevent the inevitable cancellation. But nevertheless, the show was brought back 26 years later (pretty much what Laura predicted) which was received with mixed but mostly positive reviews. But for me, it still pales in comparison to the wonder that the original possessed

stephen-lambe SPOILER: I'd just started watching the 2017 version of Twin Peaks, but realised that I was a little hazy about some of the characters from the old series, so I've just binge-watched all 30 original episodes. Like many - probably millions - I bailed a few episodes into season 2 when the killer of Laura Palmer was revealed and Maddie too had been killed back in 1991. So good was Ray Wise as Leland that when he left the series, much of the interest went with it, leaving Season 2 floundering rather in an attempt (it now appears) to rebuild. I had hoped that I'd missed out on some brilliant TV. In the main,I didn't.Series 1 is fine - sufficiently Lynchian to be interesting, but also promising in its pastiche of daytime soaps and teen drama. The first few episodes of Season 2 are superb, chilling and shocking, even if the "Bob" character doesn't quite have the power it once did, although Piper Laurie in Japanese drag may be enough to spit your..er..coffee across the room.The rest of season 2 - except a great final episode - are a bit of a trial. The pastiche feeling has gone, the oddness of Cooper's character suppressed into a series which is at times awful, and at other times so broadly comic - without really being funny - as to be ridiculous. Nadine, for instance, becomes a teenager and develops super strength while Richard Horne loses his mind and becomes convinced he is General Lee. Elsewhere, characters have personality transplants. Audrey changes from dangerous teen tease into a pillar of the community in about two episodes. Pete - it turns out - is s chess genius. These are just a few examples. It's all a bit horrific. In a bad way.In short, Twin Peaks, while fondly remembered, was actually pretty terrible for almost half it's entire running length and while some of the performances still stand up - MacLachlan, Beymer, Fenn and Wise in particular - it probably would have been a better series if all the other hands on the tiller in season two hadn't flailed around trying to find a series of plot lines, and more importantly a tone - that worked. The first 15 or 16 episodes, it has to be said, are unlike anything ever seen on TV, however. Definitely a series of two halves.

MartinHafer "Twin Peaks" is not a show for everybody. This isn't really a criticism...more an indication that the style of the program and the plot is something that the average viewer won't like or appreciate...but many others will. This is because the show is ultra-bizarre and often surreal--with strange dreams, visions, plots that go off the deep end with oddness and more. Believe me...it's among the strangest TV shows ever made...like the later episodes of "The Prisoner"...but weirder. What did I like about it? Well, the show's music was amazingly evocative and cool...really cool. The direction was often exquisite...well crafted and distinctive. I really appreciated it from the onset. Acting was generally good, though the show had a million and one subplots apart from the murder of Laura Palmer...and a few of the characters and their stories were both unnecessary and boring (such as Bobby Briggs). All in all, a highly uneven show (later ones got a bit too weird at times) but one of the most creative ever made. Worth seeing if you have a high threshold for the ultra-odd.
