Twin Peaks transports us back to the weird world of David Lynch.
IT’S ONE OF THE MOST eagerly awaited reboots in screen history. So was it worth the wait for the 21st-century update of Twin Peaks? David Lynch’s 1990 TV series—in which Detective Dale Cooper investigated the homicide of homecoming queen Laura Palmer in the town of Twin Peaks, Washington— spawned a second series, a cult following and a feature film (Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me). More important, it redefined television drama, paving the way for the epic cinematic TV we now take for granted on HBO, Showtime and new platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime.
The hype and anticipation around the two-part launch of this new 18-episode season were extraordinary, especially because Lynch had repeatedly sworn off the project. In the end, the return turns out to be a triumph: exciting, unfathomable in parts and reassuringly unpredictable.
It is every bit as puzzling and challenging as the original series, with many familiar faces making up the cast and some amusing new Lynchian additions, like a talking tree that thinks it’s an arm and a glass box that seems to attract psychotic poltergeists. This is drama that loves to delay gratification: The whole point of Twin Peaks is still that you mostly have no idea what is going on.
