In case you haven't heard of the series, it's a television murder mystery drama with a supernatural angle created by David Lynch and Mark Frost. The Pilot aired on April 8, 1990 and it follows the time after the murder of the town's most popular girl, the Homecoming Queen, Laura Palmer. She was a tudor, volunteer, and one of the most 'seemingly' happy and together girls in Twin Peaks. It turns out Laura had a pretty messed up life with drugs, s&m, pornography, prostitution, incest and murder. The Twin Peaks TV series follows FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper as he tries to piece together Laura's murder. It's super twisted and the prequel film, 'Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me' (TPFFWM) follows the days leading UP to Laura's murder, from Laura's perpesctive. THAT is where the real gem is I think of the whole Twin Peaks phenom..is watching TPFWWM and understanding what the hell is happening.
The TV series is on Netflix Watch Instantly. Both seasons. Right there at your disposal. This series DEFINITELY has tons of slow parts that almost make it hard to get through....BUT give at least the Pilot episode a chance.
