Thank God for DVD reviving old TV shows! Well... I could do without Life Goes On or Weird Science, but Twin Peaks is a treasure. Rewatching the pilot in gloriously restored picture and audio is a treat. Even with all the shock-filled shows brought to TV over the past decade, Twin Peaks still manages to hold its own as innovative, provocative, and downright mesmorizing. I love it. Everyone knows the show surrounds the death of Laura Palmer, which could have easily been trivialized in the pilot. But even knowing what's coming, the viewer's heart will be wrenched.
And hats off to David Lynch for his input into the soundtrack. Without it, my 9/10 goes down to a 7, I'm sure.
If you never saw the show, don't bother yourself with researching the plot, actors, etc. Just rent or buy. I just checked with myself and I'm never wrong.
