Twin Peaks is een Amerikaanse mysterieuze misdaadserie van de zender Showtime/ABC. De serie ging in première op 8 april 1990.
De serie speelt zich af in een plaatsje aan de Canadese grens in de Amerikaanse staat Washington. Nadat de populaire scholiere Laura Palmer vermoord wordt aangetroffen, wordt FBI-agent Dale Cooper op pad gestuurd om de zaak te onderzoeken.
De serie die in de Verenigde Staten werd uitgezonden door ABC, verkreeg snel een wereldwijde cultstatus. Op het eerste seizoen van acht afleveringen volgde een tweede seizoen met 22 afleveringen. De Peaksmania uitte zich onder andere in een aantal boeken over de serie. Twin Peaks werd voor de tijd waarin het werd opgenomen, gefilmd in een voor televisieproducties zowel technisch als kunstzinnig revolutionaire wijze die eerder enkel aan films was voorbehouden. Het zette daarmee een standaard voor latere televisieseries.
Nadat in de negende aflevering van seizoen twee (de zeventiende aflevering in totaal) de moord op Laura Palmer werd opgelost, verflauwde de aandacht voor de serie. Nieuwe, meer obscure verhaallijnen sloegen niet aan en toen vervolgens de kijkcijfers daalden, twijfelde ABC over de aankoop van nieuwe afleveringen. Hoewel het tweede seizoen eindigde met een dramatische cliffhanger volgde er geen derde seizoen. Wel volgde er in 1992 een film: Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, een prequel op de serie.
Probably one of the most influential series in series country. You can also see this clearly in many series. But twin peaks is still irreplaceable and I personally think the second half of season 2 is also very good!
With a view to the upcoming third season, I watched this series again and certainly not disappointed until half of the second season. The intro shows a rustic village far from society, but what you end up in is a village in which one person has even deeper grounds than the other. Second half of season 2 was clearly less so. I wonder what season 3 will look like...
Fortunately, GTST is a very realistic in-depth story and always sooooo exciting: P By the way, you have seen the 1st 2 seasons quite quickly, but you probably skipped them, well, as I said last x, then you miss a lot of info and important plot points if you do start with Season 3.
If you ask me if you should have seen the 1st 2 seasons and then say that you will drop out of season 3 episode 6 ... then you are already quite far in the story and after more than 30 eps you suddenly find it stupid story (really stupid: /). Doesn't seem to me that you have to watch 3 quarters of a series to come to that conclusion, so I suspect that you started at season 3 anyway. And then I look at your top10 and then I see GTST that gets a 7 from you and Temptation Island a 10 ??? Yes, because those are real quality programs. Especially temp. island is really so exciting and not stupid at all ....: p Sorry, but give that kind of series a 10 and call twin peaks stupid ... haha, no I can't take you seriously;)
My dear, you don't have to take me seriously either. It says enough about yourself when you have to go through someone's profile to be able to say something meaningful. Which is usually the case with people who cannot respect other people's opinions and find it necessary to defend something as if their lives depended on it. And idd I watch gtst and temtation island and both get a good grade. But if you are as smart as you pretend to be, you also know that you should not compare apples with pears and if you rate a program you pay attention to what you are looking at and cannot compare gtst with twin peaks. It is nice to know that you can watch something for more than 30 episodes and then you can lose interest because I can not with you. That way you get to know someone very well. Because of course you have never watched something where you have lost interest because everything you watch is great and stays great anyway because you have a foresight and know in advance whether something will remain good or not!
Looking through your profile? I only looked at what kind of series you like and I really respect someone's opinion if it is different from mine. Just can't understand that someone calls such an artistic series like twin peaks stupid and then gives a temptation island a 10. Of course those 2 series are certainly not comparable, anyway I think temptation island is not really a series but more of a program. Of course I sometimes quit a series later, I had at the 100, started nice, but after 2 seasons I was very repetitive. Still, I keep watching it because I still keep hoping that it will get the quality of the 1st seasons again, but I certainly notice that I watch new eps with more and more reluctance, so yes, maybe I will stop with that . So yes, ok. I have that sometimes, maybe my reaction was a bit too extreme because twin peaks is one of my favorite series :). My apologies for that. And yes, I also watch series that are actually so wrong, but I still think they are cool. Anyway, my response didn't mean any harm, but a pity you don't like twin peaks. But you did watch the 1st 2 seasons?
What a very special series. A series that I will not easily recommend, but has left a good impression. It is also understandable that the series has been cancelled. Still, quite a bit could have been done, because let's face it: Dale Cooper is an extraordinary character that you will love. Also an honorable mention to Albert, Audrey, Laura. On the other hand, there are a few that don't work of course, the same goes for some storylines: totally unnecessary and lack of creativity. A big 7+!
