Twin Peaks The Complete Series Series 1 and 2
A crime drama mixed with healthy doses of the surreal, this series is about FBI Agent Dale Cooper, who travels to the small logging town of Twin Peaks to solve the murder of seemingly innocent high schooler Laura Palmer. Almost nothing is as it seems, however, and the shows sometimes eerie visuals, oddball characters and wild dream sequences drive the point home.
From Wikipedia
Twin Peaks is an American mysteryhorror drama television series created by Mark Frost and David Lynch. It premiered on ABC on April 8, 1990, and ran for two seasons until its cancellation in 1991.
Set in the fictional Pacific Northwest town of Twin Peaks, the series follows an investigation led by FBI special agent Dale Cooper Kyle MacLachlan into the murder of local teenager Laura Palmer Sheryl Lee. The shows narrative draws on the characteristics of detective fiction, but its uncanny tone, supernatural elements, and campy, melodramatic portrayal of eccentric characters also draw from American soap opera and horror tropes. Like much of Lynchs work, it is distinguished by surrealism, distinctive cinematography, and offbeat humor.8 The musical score was composed by Angelo Badalamenti with Lynch.9
The original run was followed by the 1992 feature film Twin Peaks Fire Walk with Me, which serves as a prequel to the series. The success of the series sparked a media franchise, leading to the release of several tiein books, including The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer. Under Lynchs direction, the shows 2017 revival included much of the original cast.
In the years following the first two seasons, the show has gained a devoted cult following and been referenced in a wide variety of media. Twin Peaks is often listed among the greatest television series and has received widespread acclaim from critics and audiences as well as various accolades. It is considered a landmark turning point in television drama. The 2017 revival also received widespread critical acclaim.
