Twin Peaks
1990-1991 | Drama | USA | Created by David Lynch and Mark Frost
Overview
Who killed Laura Palmer: Lynch brought dream logic to prime time. The Red Room, the dwarf, the giant, and Cooper with his damn fine coffee. A 1990 hit, then it baffled itself off the air after thirty episodes. The 2017 Showtime revival was pure Lynch. It opened the door for prestige weirdness: no X-Files ambience without it. The owls are not what they seem.
