Lynch has remained mum about how much of the original series he thinks might be useful for viewers to watch (or rewatch) before the new episodes begin, though he did note at the Television Critics Association press tour that the prequel movie Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me would be valuable, since it chronicles the final days of Laura Palmer’s life.Īs for the original series itself, the first season more than lives up to its reputation. The truth is, appropriately for a show like Twin Peaks, stranger and more complicated than that, and it makes a rewatch before the series returns to life on Showtime on May 21 a tricky thing. In that quarter century, David Lynch and Mark Frost’s drama - a bizarre murder mystery set in a small Pacific Northwest town where the corpse of popular teen Laura Palmer is found wrapped in plastic - has acquired a two-pronged reputation that goes something like this:ġ) The first season is an utter masterpiece, and among the most influential TV dramas ever made, with the creators of shows like The X-Files, The Sopranos, and Lost all pointing to it as an inspiration Ģ) The second season is an utter disaster, with which Lynch and Frost were barely involved, and should be avoided at all costs. It’s been nearly 26 years since the last episode of Twin Peaks aired on ABC.
