Changed Television Forever...
January 3, 2007
80s TV was a fun, yet empty, decade - full of mindless sitcoms and mostly mediocre dramas. Then, in 1990, Twin Peaks came along...
Lost, X-Files, Northern Exposure, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Veronica Mars: none of these great shows would have happened if it weren't for Twin Peaks. It came and went in a flash, blowing up all previously held conventions (much like Guns N' Roses or Nirvana's impact on the music scene). Twin Peaks didn't last long, and maybe it wasn't meant to. Regardless, it will never be forgotten...

Best Show EVER!
April 6, 2009
I'm 23 and didn't even know about this show until 2 years ago, but I fell in love with it just like all my friends. David Lynch is THE genius of our time. I promise you, you'll love this show. Hulu has every episode online for free (Except the 2 hour pilot)! Trust me, you'll love it. Just don't watch the movie (It's a prequel meant to be seen after the series called "Fire Walk with Me") before the series, it'll give away the killer and that takes all the fun out of it. This show inspired countless other shows including X-Files and Lost. I believe the only reason it was taken off the air is because they kept changing it's time slot and people missed episodes. This show would do fine in today's world, because you could catch up on missed episodes with DVR or streaming episodes, but if you miss an episode you'd be completely lost. This is a true treasure and it's worth it's weight in Gold...Covered in diamonds :)
Wait until you see the llama at the vet :) I had to rewind it five times.

I loved the show. I was hooked when I saw the first show. Now I own the series and the original movie "Twin Peaks-Fire walk with me" and the sound track. Twin Peaks Junkie!!!
Man, TV was good back then. You didn't want to miss one second or you might get lost, and you never knew which way David Lynch was going next.

Amazing

Riveting television. Something you can't say about most shows. The twists, the drama, the sex, the deceit, are all a part of twin peaks that was revelutionary for the times. I still have the series and can't wait to watch it again.

Odd but engaging television
May 9, 2007
I was in high school when Twin Peaks was on the air and I'm shocked now that my mother let me watch it! I was completely and utterly hooked to this show and I have not come across a television series even remotely like it since. It was strange, campy, well written, thoughtful and confusing at times. David Lynch is a strange, strange man but he knows how to create fascinating characters that do not have a lot in common with one another and place them into often bizarre situations. I enjoyed this show immensely and probably prepared me for my love of the X-Files in college.
