Twin Peaks, created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, premiered in the spring of 1990 to great fanfare, great acclaim, and great theorization. While the viewing public quickly grew disillusioned with the show's increasingly complicated--and surreal--mythology, the show has influenced contemporary television by a scale out of bounds with its short 30-episode run.
Programming Note, Part I: The Twin Peaks story concludes with the movies Fire Walk With Me, even though that movie is technically a prequel. If you are watching the show for the first time, start with the Pilot and end with the movie. Really.
Programming Note, Part II: Episode titles were added years after the fact for a DVD release. I'll follow those episode titles in the review posts just for the sake of continuity.
