Twin Peaks is an American mystery horror drama television series created by Mark Frost and David Lynch that premiered on April 8, 1990, on ABC. The series developed a notably loyal following in 1990, but declining ratings led to its cancellation after its second season in 1991. It nonetheless gained a devoted cult following and has been referenced in a wide variety of media. In subsequent years, Twin Peaks is often listed among the greatest television series of all time, and is considered a landmark turning point in television drama.
The series follows an investigation headed by FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) and local Sheriff Harry S. Truman (Michael Ontkean) into the murder of homecoming queen Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) in the fictional suburban town of Twin Peaks, Washington. The show's narrative draws on elements of detective fiction, but its uncanny tone, supernatural elements, and campy, melodramatic portrayal of eccentric characters also draw on American soap opera and horror tropes. Like much of Lynch's work, it is distinguished by surrealism, offbeat humor, and distinctive cinematography. The acclaimed score was composed by Angelo Badalamenti with Lynch.

I think Lynch had a another go at television with Mulholland Drive, but it turned into a movie. It was good.
First year ws good, the second....not so much.
I thought Julie Cruise composed the music, but didn’t get credit.
I have those albums also. Love ‘em.
She also has a song “Questions in a World of Blue” from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me that is so haunting, sad and beautifully sung. The video of the scene in the movie where its in with Laura Palmer is so sad.
I had the soundtrack- great music.
Binge watched it recently. Wow, interestingly different, somewhat fractured plot, a bit juvenile, good music.
How about a good hot cup of joe!
I had the same reaction.
The plot was secondary and not really necessary to appreciate the show.
And Joss Whedon has lost his mind. If he did Firefly today, it would be a tedious Socialist parable and the villains would all look like Trump. :)
“It just seemed weird for the sake of being weird”
typical David Lynch ... same thing with the movie “Mulholland Drive”
That’s too bad. But, as you and I know, Socialists are SO much smarter than the rest of us unwashed apes, LOL!
