NP - Twin Peaks

[John Bailey]

Excellent choice! So many echoes across the 25+ years.
The given wisdom and that co-creator Mark Frost had a great love of
soap operas, and the genre is definitely not just lampooned in the
original. It's half surrealist art epic, half genuine and non-ironic
soap.
The second season has a patch where it's all soap and no scrubbing,
but the momentum that got you there might carry you through. At least
watch the last three or so.
And definitely catch Fire Walk With Me - it's much more like The
Return than I remembered. Even has multiple cameos by the terrifying
figures that *seemed* to be introduced in Episode 8 (plus some
electricity wall outlet and power line action that made no sense to
anyone until now).
