Twin Peaks may have shaped prestige TV, but prestige TV forgot what made Twin Peaks such a pioneer.
I’ll be honest, I was worried when Twin Peaks: The Return was first announced.
Nothing here is markedly outside of Lynch’s repertoire, sure, but what’s so ingenious about Twin Peaks: The Return is how exactly he’s moulded his usual tools to claw away at the foundations of prestige TV.
Twin Peaks airs 2am on Mondays on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV with the Entertainment Pass, in a simulcast with the US.
