Twin Peaks. Couldn't stand it.
Second best TV show ever!
Different people like different things and that's awesome.
The #1 best show is Twin Peaks: The Return of course :)
Yes!
Oh yeah. I heard all the hype online, and got two episodes in.
I really wanted to like twin peaks. I wish I could see what other people see it. But damn if I can't tell the difference between it and an actual soap opera.
Personally, I actually enjoyed it. It had that 90s nostalgic vibe, and I liked it.
However, the renewed 25 years later season felt like Lynch was mocking the audience (or was high on something). The season was boring as fck, story was bad and made no sense. None of the loose ends from the original show were resolved. The acting was so bad, I actually wanted to give it up after the first episode. And he didn't even give us what we wanted to see more of... Detective Cooper. Instead we got braindead cooper and evil doppleganger cooper for all but the last few minutes of the season. And for some weird reason, every episode ended on some bad recording of a live song that had nothing to do with the show.
Oh, God, such nonsense
I can appreciate Twin Peaks for being groundbreaking at the time in many ways. And David Lynch was a genius...
But yeah, as someone who tried getting into it for the first time relatively recently, I just couldn't. Got one or two episodes into season 2 before calling it quits.
Bro season 2 is suuuuuuch a slog. I got into it for the mystery and esoteric horror imagery, and I understand that they were trying to emulate a soap opera for season 2, but it's just so long and uninteresting to me.
It's been such a road block to getting to Firewalk With Me and The Return :/
