Twin Peaks

[Joseph Tracy]

I don’t have regular or cable TV.   I did watch Twin Peaks and Fire Walk with Me on DVD and thought they were pretty great though very dark, to add to what John said it’s like a wacky murder mystery soap opera with black humor and cosmic mythos. 
    I don’t care to get Showtime and I dowloaded the first episode from Pirate Bay, (never been there before). Can anyone suggest a safer way to get episodes?  Would I need to know someone with showtime? Hate to solicit questionable legal advice but I am curious where Lynch is going to take this.
