Some might argue, for instance, that Showtime’s Twin Peaks aired on television in episodic installments, and is therefore unmistakably TV.
If you’ve been following movie or TV Twitter in recent weeks, you may have picked up on some passionate debate spurred by the UK’s Sight & Sound and France’s Cahiers du Cinema placing Twin Peaks: The Return among their movie selections for 2017.
In the meantime, the jury’s still out on whether Twin Peaks: The Return will garner a sequel fourth season, but rest assured that our own upcoming Best TV of 2017 lists will treat the series as such.
A number of year-end movie critics’ lists beg to differ, however, and now Kyle MacLachlan himself is getting in on the great debate.
