A surreal cult favourite about the investigation into the murder of a high-school homecoming queen in a Pacific Northwest lumber town. Co-created by filmmaker David Lynch, who also directed two episodes, the drama is a mysterious and mystical (when it wasn't merely murky) excursion into the dark side of human nature, rife with sex, violence, dream sequences and a gallery of bizarre characters. It was risky and provocative, but not everyone's cup of damn fine coffee and it was gone in a year. New mysteries unfold 25 years after the shocking death of homecoming queen Laura Palmer in a quaint northwestern town.
Critics Reviews for Twin Peaks: A Limited Event Series
“As wayyy out there as Twin Peaks can get – and it zoomed even farther beyond the outer limits than I thought it would this season – watching it can still be remarkably personal.” – Jen Chaney New York Magazine/Vulture
“This is an entertaining and intriguing return to form that will delight fans and maybe-just maybe-pull in a new audience happy to overlook the slow pace and random non sequiturs in return for a glimpse into Lynch's inimitable, magical, dystopian world.” – Viv Groskop Newsweek
“The Twin Peaks reboot is not the fusion of arthouse and mainstream sensibilities that viewers might expect. It's pure David Lynch – and it's glorious.” – Laura Miller Slate
