After several months, I finally finished watching the entire Twin Peaks series and the movie Fire Walk with Me. For me, there’s no doubt that it’s a masterpiece, in fact, I think the movie can only be understood after watching the third season. What do you think of Twin Peaks? Do you think you understood it? What’s your take on it?

I’ve only seen bits a and pieces of it and so this is what I know of:
1990s show with 1950s aesthetics and pacing.
The mystery message explained after 200+ episodes of 20+ minutes:
“TV is bad y’all, go read a book” - 3 months
It’s probably my favourite piece of media ever. I’ve never seen anything else that is able to blend comedy, surrealism, horror and satire into one thing the way twin peaks does. I’ve definitely allowed to become a core part of my personality.

It was filmed super close to where I live so that’s cool. I wasn’t able to get into it as a show though

I think anyone who claims to fully understand it can be safely ignored. It’s not supposed to be understood, it’s supposed to be felt. Lynch intentionally tries to invoke a dreamlike feeling, where things simultaneously feel internally consistent and incomprehensibly bizarre. There are certainly things to understand, but there are also things which are meant more to inspire an idea of something that could be understood, without having a concrete explanation. That’s part of the magic.
I think the middle of season 2, when he stepped away to work on Blue Velvet, is frustratingly weak, but they got there in the end. I think The Return was good, but not quite as good.
Overall I love it and reference it frequently.

First season was entertaining, and it def gets some style and uniqueness points. Second season kinda trailed off for me and I didn’t feel I needed to watch any more.

It was fascinating in its time. I never finished it though, despite being a David lynch fan

Believing I was watching Fire Walk With Me, I was actually watching the extra scenes. Given TP is TP I just thought “what the hell”. Watched all seasons but not fwwm. Yet.

I guess I like the plaid tops more than the hooters tank tops, but otherwise it’s just standard chain restaurant food. Nothing too special.
