Refracting primetime soap operas and cop shows into a one-of-a-kind cosmic melodrama, showrunners Mark Frost and David Lynch captured lightning in a bottle. Cloaking its dark secrets in a down-home slice of winsome Americana, Twin Peaks is the pop-cultural juggernaut that captivated a generation.

Dreams nest in nightmares, and nightmares in dreams, in Mark Frost and David Lynch’s electrifying return to the world of Twin Peaks. A monumental work of novelistic scope and grandeur, this limited series event slips the boundaries of space and time to prowl the charged line between good and evil.

Delightfully playful, this postmodern portrait explores an offbeat life of invention by rejecting conventional biopic form. With stylistic whimsies ranging from omniscient narration to an anachronistic synthpop performance, Michael Almereyda’s rich meditation on legacy is positively electric.
