    I love that season 3 didn’t really give answers but instead made us fans have more questions, really impressive to come back and not wrap everything up unlike most other revivals

    As weird as it may be, I’ve never seen an episode and I know absolutely nothing about this show. (Beyond that it was popular.) Would it hold up today if I watched it?

    No real reason I didn’t watch the show. I just think when it was on network television I was at an age where I had a night life that didn’t revolve around a weekly serial show. And this didn’t seem like a show I could just jump into all willy nilly.

      Are you familiar with any of David Lynchs other works? If you are then you will love twin peaks. If not, the. You have to remember that when it was made it was satirizing soap operas on TV.

      But the show has an odd style that has been emulated a lot in newer media. The story will have you hooked, the mystery will keep you coming back. But the characters and acting might be a bit of a unique taste.

        Mulholland Drive and Lost Highway were fun fever dreams that stuck with me for a long time. But I did enjoy them.

        I’ll try it out I guess. I see it’s streaming on one of my services so no excuses now I guess.

      I’m with you on this. Also I have often shunned many things that attract a lot of hype. I recently watched a few episodes of The Sopranos for the first time, and gave up. Back when The X Files was on TV I watched a few but like yourself I was busy doing other things. I have never watched a single minute of “Lost”, I’m considering giving it a go in the near future though.

      I watch plenty of movies and series these days and I too wonder if Twin Peaks would hold up.

        I definitely think it holds up, although i watched it for the first time in the early 2000s so I might have nostalgia factor, i rewatched the whole series recently and very much enjoyed it. Lost on the other hand doesn’t hold up imo. Feels totally unplanned and aimless in comparison like they were trying to do the strange mystery vibe of twin peaks without anythjng being thought through beforehand and just wroting by the seat of their pants the whole time. Twin peaks is a vibe too where lost is just glossy and overproduced.
