Spent the last few days with the Twin Peaks S3 box set (I didn't binge watch, I did other things in between, but it got more intense the further it went on). Judging by the online reaction this was real love it or hate it material, but I was delighted Lynch was back directing again and the disappointing Inland Empire wouldn't be his final word.
I didn't expect answers, and though I got a few I wasn't surprised it ended on another cliffhanger. One of the best things about TP was how much it cared for its central murder victim, she wasn't some throwaway character like you get on a lot of TV wanting to kick off their thriller plots, she really mattered. Couldn't you save her, Coop? Well, he had a good try, but it doesn't look like it's worked out.
Some of it made me laugh out loud, episode 8 was hallucinatory, it was great to see some of the old faces again (RIP Log Lady and Albert), it's like nothing else out there even with TP's influence all over TV for the past near-30 years. It proved Fire Walk with Me is essential and not an afterthought, and for that I'm thankful.
