The Review
Twin Peaks is the most influential cult series in television history. David Lynch and Mark Frost created a show that mixed murder mystery, soap opera, surrealism, and horror in a way that had never been attempted on network television. The 2017 revival, The Return, is eighteen hours of uncompromised Lynchian art that may be the most ambitious thing ever aired on a cable network.
Fun Fact
The iconic Red Room scene was conceived after Kyle MacLachlan's stand-in accidentally walked backward through the set curtains, and Lynch immediately decided to film the entire scene in reverse.
