Summary: Fire walk with me... Welcome to Twin Peaks. A place where reality is fused with feverish dreamscapes, and a long list of eclectic characters spin a web of dark secrets. In 1990 the creation of David Lynch and Mark Frost was unleashed upon an unsuspecting network television audience and became a landmark show credited with influencing the shift in small screen storytelling. An iconic tagline "who killed Laura Palmer" brought viewers into the unique world of David Lynch and introduced the quirks and distinct tones of his work. The show's narrarator in the form of agent DB Cooper blurred the line between realism and the paranormal, and the earlier than anticipated reveal of the killer challenged how far we were willing to go down the rabbit hole. This week we reflect on what is ultimately a very difficult show to describe, the method we chose to best explain what Twin Peaks was all about was to visit with each of the eccentric characters that populated it. We do have fair warning for spoilers in the episode but as with most Lynch work, it is really more about the 'experience' than the plot. So put on a pot of coffee, black as midnight if you please, and join in. If you are a long time fan we invite you to reminisce with us, and if you have always wondered whether it was worth taking on the 30 episodes we hope to give you fair preparation for what lies in store.
