What are your opinions about the two Series?

 

[Nymphae]

Prefer X-Files, maybe my favourite show ever. Way ahead of it's time and the production values were great. Excellent casting and incredible writing, many of the greats from the series went on to write for other famous shows, most notably Vince Gilligan with Breaking Bad (which contains many X-Files universe nods)

Twin Peaks is pretty incredible as well but I just love X-Files more. The David Lynch TP stuff is the best and it went waaay off the rails without him, but he got it back on track with The Return. I don't really have a list of directors I care about, but he is a director I care about, I love almost everything he has done.

Is this your homework or something?

 

[DKehoe]

I've not seen The X-Files, although I should try and get round to it sometime, so my vote defaults to Twin Peaks which I love.

Coincidentally today is three years since Part 8 of The Return aired. Incredible stuff.

 

[Tesseract]

they are vastly different animals, peaks is far more internal and deluded than x-files

both are excellent, i'd not want for either to go away

 

[DetectiveBananas]

Watched both and you can tell both were important to the progression of television in that era. My pick is X-Files. They really should’ve stopped at season 6-7 but it is what it is.

X-Files because it's far less up it's own ass, and just a better show overall. Twin Peaks is good for like 1 season dude.

 

[teezzy]

Yeah you heard me, Tessy

 

[teezzy]

ooo look at me im david lynch and i wiggle my fingers a lot so people think im smart

 

[teezzy]

Eraserhead though

 

[LoV]

You can't make me choose!

 

[Halo is Back]

X-files no contest

 

[Master Of Illusion]

I dig X-Files, but it's formulaic normie shit next to Twin Peaks.

Twin Peaks S3 will remain the greatest season of TV of all time for a very long time.

 

[triplestation]

ive never seen twin peaks

maybe ill check it out

but theres nothing like x-files

its a guaranteed hit for anyone who has a love for aliens/ufos/the paranormal and is curious about the unknown

x-files is as comfiest as it gets

i hope vince gilligan/peter gould take on a new generation of x-files after better call saul concludes

the writing and production talent these fuckers have with breaking bad and bcs, if they channeled that same quality into x-files, words could not describe my excitement

 

[Kadayi]

Twin Peaks. The Pilot all these years later still holds up surprisingly well. Peaks fundamentally changed the very nature of television. It created a paradigm shift, that is hard for many people to understand because it's influence was so all-encompassing.

 

[octiny]

X-Files takes the cake for me.

 

[TheSadRanger]

I love X-Files but watching David Lynch ranting about studios while chain smoking is more entertaining then Twin Peaks itself. I love David Lynch and his no bullshit outlook.

 

[teezzy]

Buffy is better than both fwiw.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

I wanted to watch TP once that blue ray collection came out. I remember a few episodes as a kid (5,6 yr old) and all i remember is that it scared me lol. The music theme too and now when i hear it its such a love song haha. Anyways, shoould i give it another go in the adult life?

X-Files i loved,i remember so many episodes and Cancer Man was Villain No.01!

 

[SirKicksalot]

X-Files, because it captured the UFO/paranormal zeitgeist of the 90s so well. It was 50 years since Roswell and Independence Day made UFOs incredibly cool.

Also the first X-Files movie is better than the Twin Peaks movie.

 

[BigBooper]

X-Files. Twin Peaks is entertaining for one season before it's schtick starts wearing thin. X-Files gets repetitive at times in later seasons too, but it's best episodes are more entertaining or interesting than Twin Peaks ever is.

 

[Troyaferd]

Twin Peaks is good for like 1 season dude.

Twin Peaks has 3 good Seasons.

Buffy is better than both fwiw.

better than the X-Files I agree.
