Watched the series maybe 6 years ago and loved it so much. I think why people say it's "soooo" weird is the fact that this was a major network show, and for a major network show, it's incredibly weird.
It is hard to describe the impact Twin Peaks had when it came out in 1990. I watched the first episode purely by accident. I was in one Friday or Saturday night and was dying my hair, I switched on the tv and it was on. Watched the rest of the episode and was totally hooked. It was small town America but with a creepy unsettling vibe. It was unusual and unpredictable with an amazing soundtrack. It is still one of the best things I have ever seen, but that is probably in part due to the age I was when I watched it and the era in which it was set.
10:25 that's funny because I started watching Dark because of TWIN PEAKS on Netflix. After I finished TWIN PEAKS I was on a journey to find as much media that reminded me of it, because I couldn't get enough... and I wasn't for wanting, because TWIN PEAKS is the GOAT of inspiring artists.
I think part of the appeal is the nightmare ASMR take on small-town americana. The show thrives on combining five or six completely different emotions in a single, hypnotic vibe. So the reason people get obsessed with the show is less any specific component, but just the aesthetic as a whole.
There are a a lot of people making videos about Twin Peaks. I remember watching it with my dad on VHS. Glad you enjoyed it. Twin Peaks is a weird show. If you liked it check out the Pilot. It had a different ending that still retained the main feeling the show ended with.
For me the genius of the show is that it gets weirder with each season. In the first season you´re like: ok, it has some weird things in it. Then the second season is like: Ok, what does this mean and what´s going on there and what was happening in that scene? And then the third season just goes fully eraserhead. I should watch it again!
I'd have to say, that at many times, Star Trek ToS had some great camera and blocking work that I would label as cinematic... but I guess it wasn't as consistent as Twin Peaks.
Oh I defo enjoyed the cinematography of Star Trek TOS, I think I did kinda mention it in my vid about watching it for the first time. I think it gets overlooked because it’s a bit silly/camp at times and is low budget sci-fi by modern standards. I also really enjoy how Star Trek TNG is shot. - perhaps people focus more on cinematography for something like this because a well know film director made TP so you expect it to be more artsy than your usual tv stuff.
I found TWIN PEAKS 100% on my own. I never heard of it... I was getting to the end of binge watching X-Files and wanted to watch something similar to it, so I wouldn't go into that deadzone of nothing to watch after binge watching. I started to read the synopsis of the show, and the background changed, from the sign, and mountains, to the Saw in the Sawmill with... THE MUSIC.. It was pure magic, pure nolstalgia. 😢 an angel wrote. Rip.
What an amazing review of my all-time number 1 show ❤ I started watching Twin Peaks back in 1990 when it first aired in the UK and have never stopped re-watching it through the years. Yes, it was completely addictive and having to wait for each new episode was an integral part of the experience. My friends and I would video-tape each new episode and then watch that same episode every night for a week until the next one aired. We just couldn't get enough of it! And it was definitely weird, compared to every other thing on TV back then.
Thank you so much 😊 I probably would have been absolutely obsessed with the show if I’d had to watch it on a weekly basis! The tapping episodes and sharing with friends is so cool - I guess nowadays you can do those watch party things on some streaming services
@@CateCrafter The funny thing is that I actually hated TV before Twin Peaks came along...it always seemed like a supreme waste of time. The only reason I even started watching Twin Peaks is because one of the friends I was living with was a massive Lynch fan already. I even refused to 'waste time' watching the first episode with him, but then wandered into the room about 10 mins before the end. Lucky he was taping it, because the minute it was over, I begged him to let me watch it from the beginning 😁
So agree with the whole vibe thing. One scene I particularly remember fondly is when they're out in the forrest and are throwing rocks at the glass bottles. Everything about that scene is just so... 😙👌
the rest of season two vacillates, the film fire walk with me is AMAZING, and the third season "the return" is maybe the most purely david lynch thing of all time. 18 hours of insanity.
@@CateCrafter The thing with Fire Walk With me is that it's Twin Peaks without Mark Frost. Frost sees Twin Peaks as a universe with it's own set of characters and rules to obey to. He's the lore guy. The man who built the mythology along writers Harly Peyton and Robert Engels (I mean, he wrote two books tying up some of Season 3 loose ends because of it) Lynch sees it as this toybox where he can play with this imagery that comes to his head and evoke emotions and doesnt care much about story consistency and plot. Just about Laura and what she represents to him. I personally like the movie though and The Return but they're certainly different. And while Frost came back for The Return (and he in fact was the one who approached Lynch first to do another season and wrote a lot of the intitial script, Lynch changed a lot of stuff as Frost went to write the books)
Lynch's Dune isn't really Lynch's dune, it's a fun cult classic, but it's not that great, specially after the new Dune did such an amazing job at adapting half the first book. Mulholland Drive, and Lost Highway are 2 movies you, and everyone that has watched them, will need to watch at least 3 times to even begin to comprehend what the hell is actually going on...and you'll still be wrong. I love that Lynch leaves his projects open to interpretation. He has said films should be like books, and he will not give definitive answers about his intentions or the meanings behind his works. I've see Mullholland drive about 10 times, and it's a different movie every time depending on what's going on in my life. We'll never get a film maker like David Lynch again, we live in a lucky era of film. Cinema is dying. We lived through the peak.

Yeah, that’s true 😊
It also gets weirder lol. But yes, this was the show that opened the door of weirdness for other shows that followed, like X-files.

That’s so cool. I can’t remember the last time I came across something on tv by accident, in fact it must have been pre streaming services 😢
And then there's the movie Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, which some hated and others, including myself, thought was incredible.

The vibes, that’s what got me 😂

Yeah that’s true I’m a few episodes into season 3 now and I have no idea what’s going on - though I haven’t seen Eraserhead yet 😬
Welcome to the club. Eagerly waiting for more Twin Peaks content from you. 👍
Twin Peaks isn't weird by today's standards but it was pretty unique at the time.
I'd have to say, that at many times, Star Trek ToS had some great camera and blocking work that I would label as cinematic... but I guess it wasn't as consistent as Twin Peaks.

never too late to discover twin peaks !
you made me want rewatch it and that's what I'm gonna do !
I think I’ll have to rewatch it quite soon after I finish it just to go back and see all the things I missed the first time around 😊

I didn’t actually like Fire Walk with me 😬 but you’ll have to wait for my part 2 after I’ve finished season 3 as to why 😂

I think it's all just bogus clues and misdirection, with nothing really adding up. The joke's on us all.
