It's totally his material. Not only did he co-write it but it's...I mean it's directed by him. Direction is not anonymous. Composition and rhythm and motion matterare the thing that matters most in a visual medium.Have not. I may give it a shot eventually.
Ah shit I forgot he did Elephant Man, which I loved. Though I guess that's not really his material.

Perfectly reasonable to understand what Lynch is doing (with Twin Peaks and in general) and still not like it.The number one response I ever see to people making rightful criticism about shows/movies is condescending and meaningless statements like "you just don't get it" or some other total nonsense. There are plenty of people who get exactly what Lynch is doing and are still right to think it sucks.
Juuuuustt yoooooooouu
If only it was that simple. He recorded his lines backwards and then had them played forward. Michael J Anderson was the man... from another place. Best dancing armwe see the midget dancing and his voice is randomly fast forwarded was a good laugh.

The episode guide I saw like 2 months ago called the beginning and ending of s2 great and a huge middle stretch terrible and I think I just got to the bad part.That show is not what it seems, it goes off into weird territory later. S1 is great, S2 is garbage for the most part. I would look up an episode guide to tell you what to skip.
Is this thread about the chocolate bunny?

It's not about the bunny.
You're missing a ton of stuff by not at least watching the last few episodes of season 2.somewhat related question, can you jump from S1 straight to S3? I have no real interest in watching S2, and it super long as well. Does the show mostly continue with the otherworldly elements, or do they go back to working on a case?

also i completely understand issues with the music. i'm used to it now, but if you've watched the golden age of tv -> peak tv, the soundtrack to Twin Peaks is aggressively in your face, kinda dated, and at times repetitive.
that isn't to say it doesn't set the mood right or isn't effective.

Respectfully, why the fuck would anybody want to try to convince you to like it? Not only have you already admitted to not giving an entire episode a chance and reductively lumped it in with the asinine so-bad-it's-good viewing trend (melodrama/soap opera has an extensive tradition outside of fucking The Room, and it usually requires a viewer not be narrow-minded or closed-off like someone scoffing at a person crying about a raped and murdered teenager might be), but it's one of the most written-about tv shows ever. You can go to www.google.com and convince your own self, and seeing as you already skimmed one article and made a decision I don't see what the point of this is. Don't watch it.
Watch the first maybe 3 episodes and then from episode17 to 22. It might seem like a lot, but it's the best parts of the season and a lot of it really does have impact on season3somewhat related question, can you jump from S1 straight to S3?

This is a great description of Lynch's style. There's very little "accidental" about what he wants his audience to feel. He taps into frustration, impatience, discomfort, and anxiety in the audience in really unique ways using tools that a lot of directors do not.I think his is the key to enjoying Lynch's stuff. He isn't being arbitrarily weird, he's drilling in and exaggerating the way people actually behave. The very bits that films almost universally streamline away, or gloss over.
Like, in a normal show, if a character enters a small town diner, everything's centered on them and the story, like these people never existed before this moment unless they have something to directly offer the viewer in service of the plot.
In Twin Peaks, everybody knows each other and have their own inner lives and quirks. It seems bizarre compared to what you expect from the medium, but it's really just a heightened version of what it feels like to actually wander into a space like that: the inside jokes you hear, the interest in local topics and hobbies you have no context for, etc.
And when the emotional or horrifying moments hit in the middle of all that, they land hard. And Lynch leans in even closer.
Not everything is meant for everybody. I didn't watch Twin Peaks when it originally aired in the 80's, mainly because it wasn't my type of show back then, but I got into it about 12-13 years ago with my now wife, who had been a fan since the 80's, but her mom didn't let her watch it.
I loved the original run. It had some fun characters, crazy imagery and storylines, and an intriguing murder mystery wrapped up in everything from aliens to possession, drugs and prostitution.
I'm 3 episodes into this new season...and I hate it. I just don't think it's very good, and doesn't feel like it captures the quirky charm of the original run. My love of Twin Peaks has me powering through it, and I'm hoping the remaining episodes are better, but I am not enjoying it.
Episode 4 is about as quirky as TP gets, soldier through.
Wally will save you.
