#TWIN PEAKS SEASON 2 EPISODES SERIES#
When we last saw Cooper, he was in a bad way and this series picks up, unapologetically, with him still in that way and the rest of the world paralleling that vibe. Still, this is a decidedly unwelcoming premiere. Most of the running time features no music whatsoever, another factor that contributes to how little this feels like the old show. There’s nudity! Angelo Badalamenti’s score is used extremely sparingly. An evil Dale Cooper doppelganger with hair like the late David Carradine’s is traipsing about murdering people and saying the word “fuck.” The violence is stark and graphic (a crime scene featuring two portioned bodies is inspired in its grotesquery). A tragic, tense, and unfriendly air hangs over everything. There’s little whimsy or overt humor here. It should give you some idea how unnerving these episodes are that we only really get a sense of returning to the comfort of the original Twin Peaks’ world during the time spent in the series’ most confounding and terrifying location. The most familiar location is the Black Lodge. In fact, much of these first two parts is spent outside of Twin Peaks in New York, Las Vegas, and (predominantly) Buckhorn, South Dakota. This premiere has little interest in recalling the comforting familiarity of the titular town. Most tragic are the appearances of the Log Lady, adorned with nasal cannula, speaking sadly to Hawk about how she won’t be able to join him on this new mystery (the actress, Catherine Coulson, died during production). The Man from Another Place appears to have evolved into an electrified tree with a fleshy orb for a head that looks like a distant cousin of the baby from Eraserhead. But, hey, at least his brother Jerry seems to have adapted to the modern era well he’s now in the business of legal weed. Ben Horne is tired his days of callous womanizing long behind him. He and Shelly, well into their adulthoods, still hang out at the Roadhouse bar. James was in a motorcycle accident and is quieter now. Hawk is currently in charge of the police department and is accepting, though exhausted, in the role. Lucy seems like her old self but also more confused than usual. Sarah Palmer sits in a darkened room watching graphic footage of lions mauling a rhino(?). A bunch of the new characters we meet are summarily murdered and the ones we’re being reacquainted with are either already dead or are sad and/or perverted versions of what we remember (which is all quite Fire Walk-y indeed). The first two parts of “The Return,” in contrast, feel almost bereft of characters. The original pilot spent its time bringing the town alive, introducing every character of the town and their respective situations. However, there is a crucial difference here. Also, at times, well, a little bored.īut, some perspective: the original Twin Peaks pilot was also long, slow-moving, and introduced numerous disparate plot elements without resolution. And, so, how do I feel?ĭisturbed, worried, confused, intrigued, and, occasionally, briefly, comforted.

However, unlike Fire Walk with Me, co-creator Mark Frost co-wrote all this new series with Lynch and he always seemed like the gently guiding hand of familiarity, bringing Lynch back down to earth, forcing him to make something that felt at least a little like a TV show.īut I don’t sense Mark Frost in the first two parts of the return at all.

This new series is all Lynch-directed and on a premium cable network to boot, free from the norms and constraints of any conventional television programming.
When confronted with pure, uncut Lynch, the enjoyment comes from what emotions he makes you feel and how incredibly adept he is at making you feel those emotions strongly.
It doesn’t feel much like the show and to assess it in the same way is bound to lead to disappointment. I enjoy that film a great deal, but because it’s a David Lynch film. Its best episodes featured some of that stuff combined with unknowable David Lynch horror and oddness.įire Walk with Me immersed itself completely in the Lynchian side of Twin Peaks. There was a period, in the original series, where it fell into clear rhythms-developing and twisting its various storylines about affairs, criminal activity, and supernatural hootenanny-but this was also when the show was at its absolute worst. I knew it was going to be tough to review the new series of Twin Peaks, to slap a score on it like any other show. This Twin Peaks review contains spoilers.
