After several months, I finally finished watching the entire Twin Peaks series and the movie Fire Walk with Me. For me, there’s no doubt that it’s a masterpiece, in fact, I think the movie can only be understood after watching the third season. What do you think of Twin Peaks? Do you think you understood it? What’s your take on it?

Season 1 is excellent. I rewatch it every year or two.

Season 2 is a struggle at times. I do rewatch it, just not as often.

Season 3 I've only watched once when it aired, but remember liking it. I'm due for a rewatch of it soon. It however didn't capture the same kind of magic as Season 1.

Fire Walk With Me is a necessary viewing, but I've always been on the fence about how I felt about it. Or rather, if I felt it was a necessary installment.

    I find season 1 to be consistently great.

    For me season 2 lacks the consistency and it’s quality varies a lot. I find the best of season 2 to be incredible, but I also find the worst of season 2 to be drab and poor.

    Look up which season 2 episodes Lynch was involved in, and which ones he wasn't. For me, the drop in quality perfectly aligns with his brief departure.

    That's true, but also it suffers from the fact that they were forced to reveal the killer mid season, thus robbing the show of its core dramatic driver. For a while they just didn't know what to do with the world they'd built.
