Twin Peaks

There's a nostalgia wave hitting television which I'm all for but slightly against. There are plenty of completely unnecessary reboots hitting airwaves at a steady pace. A couple of weeks back one of my favorite shows, Twin Peaks, made its television return on Showtime. Twin Peaks began airing on ABC in 1990 and has become a cult classic (it has even been considered one of televisions greatest dramas).

Twin Peaks finds FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper solving the murder of Laura Palmer in a town filled with eccentric characters and supernatural elements. It has a very offbeat sense of humor and iconic David Lynch cinematography. To be honest, Twin Peaks is a little hit or miss when you try to talk to people about it. It's not exactly an easy sell especially the newer episodes on Showtime. They are a little out there compared to the older ones, but that's likely due to more relaxed views on Frost/Lynch's creative direction. My favorite part is the return of many of the original characters and the emergence of music as a larger part of the whole experience. I was so excited to see Chromatics on episode one.

I wanted to write a whole blog post about my love of Twin Peaks in-depth especially because of all the annoying things I have to read about people disliking it in my Twitter timeline. But then I just ended up spending tons of time looking at really cool Twin Peaks merchandise online. Seems like a better use of time, right? Nothing will be as cool as the girl I ran into a couple of years ago on Halloween at a bar dressed as the Log Lady, but some of this stuff is just as cool.
