Twin Peaks: Series 1–2 – Definitive Gold Box Edition
Lose yourself in David Lynch and Mark Frost's murder mystery-soap opera, which unfolds, in one character's words, “like a beautiful dream and terrible nightmare all at once”.
Season 1
Twin Peaks devotees, who have kept the mystery alive on myriad Web sites, will
jump at the chance to return to the spooky town that might just be the
anti-Mayberry. Rarely syndicated, the Twin Peaks television series has lost none
of its quirky and queasy power to get under your skin and haunt your dreams. So
brew up a pot of some “damn fine coffee,” dig into some cherry pie, and lose
yourself in David Lynch and Mark Frost's murder mystery and soap opera, which
unfolds, in one character's words, “like a beautiful dream and terrible
nightmare all at once.” Twin Peaks was a pop culture phenomenon for one season
at least, until the increasingly bizarre twists and maddening teases so
confounded audiences that they lost interest in just who killed Laura Palmer
(Sheryl Lee). This series was a career peak for most of its eclectic ensemble
cast, including Kyle MacLachlan as straight-arrow FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper,
Michael Ontkean as local Sheriff Harry S. Truman, Sherilyn Fenn as bad girl
Audrey Horne, Peggy Lipton as waitress Norma Jennings, and Catherine Coulson as
the Log Lady. Alumni enjoying current success include Lara Flynn Boyle (“The
Practice”), as good girl Donna Hayward, and Miguel Ferrer (“Crossing
Jordan”), hilarious as forensics expert Albert Rosenfield (who has absolutely
no “social niceties”). -Donald Liebenson
Season 2
“Don't search for all the answers at once,” says a giant appearing to FBI
Agent Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) in a vision. “A path is formed by laying one
stone at a time.” In Twin Peaks, that's easier said than done. Over the
course of two seasons, that path went nowhere and everywhere. “Bureau
guidelines, deductive technique, Tibetan method, and luck” don't cut it here.
It also takes a little magic, which is what makes David Lynch and Mark
Frost's bracingly original serial drama one of TV's ultimate trips, and still
the stuff that fever dreams are made of. With the DVD release of season 2,
die-hard Peakers can rekindle their obsession with this macabre, maddening,
sinister, and surreal series set in the rural Pacific Northwest community whose
bucolic surroundings hide “things dark and heinous.” (If you're new to Twin
Peaks, best to get the lay of the land by watching the brilliant feature-length
pilot and the instant-cult-classic first season, which capture Twin at its
peak.) Three main mysteries drive season 2. First, there's the still (!)
unresolved murder of Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). Then, there's the question of
who shot Cooper in the season 1 cliffhanger. And finally, ultimately: What
about Bob? With its dream logic, bizarre behavior, and nightmare imagery, much
of what transpires goes right by you. Some subplots (Sherilyn Fenn's sexpot
Audrey held captive at the bordello, One-Eyed Jacks) are easier to latch on to
than others (amnesiac Nadine believes she's an 18-year-old high schooler) And,
yes, that's a pre-X-Files David Duchovny as Dennis/Denice, a transsexual
DEA agent.
In Twin Peaks' second season, the truth is out there, but we are entering A Few Good Men territory. When Laura's killer is at last revealed in episode 16, no doubt many will not be able to handle the truth. The teases, red herrings, and out-and-out gonzo looniness will try the patience of viewers with a more conventional bent. But, as Cooper observes at one point, “All in all, [it's] a very interesting experience,” with enough doppelgangers, allusions, pop-culture references, and in-jokes to keep bloggers buzzing. If, for example, you get any pleasure from recognizing Hank Worden, who played Mose in The Searchers, as “the world's most decrepit room service waiter,” then Twin Peaks may just make you feel right at home.
