Season 1
Twin Peaks devotees, who have kept the mystery alive on myriad Web sites, will jump at the chance to return to the spooky town that might just be the anti-Mayberry. Rarely syndicated, the Twin Peaks television series has lost none of its quirky and queasy power to get under your skin and haunt your dreams. So brew up a pot of some "damn fine coffee," dig into some cherry pie, and lose yourself in David Lynch and Mark Frost's murder mystery and soap opera, which unfolds, in one character's words, "like a beautiful dream and terrible nightmare all at once." Twin Peaks was a pop culture phenomenon for one season at least, until the increasingly bizarre twists and maddening teases so confounded audiences that they lost interest in just who killed Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). This series was a career peak for most of its eclectic ensemble cast, including Kyle MacLachlan as straight-arrow FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper, Michael Ontkean as local Sheriff Harry S. Truman, Sherilyn Fenn as bad girl Audrey Horne, Peggy Lipton as waitress Norma Jennings, and Catherine Coulson as the Log Lady. Alumni enjoying current success include Lara Flynn Boyle ("The Practice"), as good girl Donna Hayward, and Miguel Ferrer ("Crossing Jordan"), hilarious as forensics expert Albert Rosenfield (who has absolutely no "social niceties").--Donald Liebenson

Season 2
"Don't search for all the answers at once," says a giant appearing to FBI Agent Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) in a vision. "A path is formed by laying one stone at a time." In Twin Peaks, that's easier said than done. Over the course of two seasons, that path went nowhere and everywhere. "Bureau guidelines, deductive technique, Tibetan method, and luck" don't cut it here. It also takes a little magic, which is what makes David Lynch and Mark Frost's bracingly original serial drama one of TV's ultimate trips, and still the stuff that fever dreams are made of. With the DVD release of season 2, die-hard Peakers can rekindle their obsession with this macabre, maddening, sinister, and surreal series set in the rural Pacific Northwest community whose bucolic surroundings hide "things dark and heinous." (If you're new to Twin Peaks, best to get the lay of the land by watching the brilliant feature-length pilot and the instant-cult-classic first season, which capture Twin at its peak.) Three main mysteries drive season 2. First, there's the still (!) unresolved murder of Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). Then, there's the question of who shot Cooper in the season 1 cliffhanger. And finally, ultimately: What about Bob? With its dream logic, bizarre behavior, and nightmare imagery, much of what transpires goes right by you. Some subplots (Sherilyn Fenn's sexpot Audrey held captive at the bordello, One-Eyed Jacks) are easier to latch on to than others (amnesiac Nadine believes she's an 18-year-old high schooler) And, yes, that's a pre-X-Files David Duchovny as Dennis/Denice, a transsexual DEA agent.

In Twin Peaks' second season, the truth is out there, but we are entering A Few Good Men territory. When Laura's killer is at last revealed in episode 16, no doubt many will not be able to handle the truth. The teases, red herrings, and out-and-out gonzo looniness will try the patience of viewers with a more conventional bent. But, as Cooper observes at one point, "All in all, [it's] a very interesting experience," with enough doppelgangers, allusions, pop-culture references, and in-jokes to keep bloggers buzzing. If, for example, you get any pleasure from recognizing Hank Worden, who played Mose in The Searchers, as "the world's most decrepit room service waiter," then Twin Peaks may just make you feel right at home. --Donald Liebenson

On the DVDs
Twin Peaks lived in its own bizarre, dark, amazing, fantasy world, fresh from the mind of creator David Lynch. The extra features on this Gold Box edition (which includes both seasons and the long-awaited pilot) intend to draw you into the milieu surrounding the world of the story, and offer you a glimpse into the gestation and making of the show, while gently poking fun at itself. To quote Lynch at the beginning of A Slice of David Lynch, "This is the strangest damn thing." He's referring to the act of sitting on a set in Los Angeles, drinking coffee and eating cherry pie with cast members Madchen Amick, Kyle MacLachlan, and personal assistant John Wentworth years after the show ended. But he may as well have also been referring to the show itself, and to the enormous popular phenomenon it accidentally became. As can be inferred from the title, A Slice of Lynch is a glimpse inside the creative mind of Lynch through his interactions with his old stars and assistant, and watching this, you can't help but understand that Lynch operates on a different plain from normal humanity, and his artistic process, while often befuddling, yields incredibly original results to a degree that almost boggles the mind; happy accidents seem to stem from almost every artistic decision he makes. The strength of this feature is that it makes it clear that the world of Twin Peaks really existed, it just happened to live in the minds of David Lynch and co-writer Mark Frost. Twin Peaks Festival is almost an afterthought, it doesn't fit with the rest of the features in depth or insight, but curious fans will get a kick out of seeing what happens when the most rabid, hardcore Twin Peaks gather in the Northwest--on the sights of many of the show's scenes--for a fan festival that beats the heck out of any Star Trek convention. Secrets from Another Place: Creating Twin Peaks offers a meaty, four-part look into how the show came about, the filming of both seasons, and the creation of the music by composer Angelo Badalamenti and singer Julee Cruise. Black Lodge Archive features six different items ranging from the "Falling" music video to bumpers and galleries that don't do much to offer insight into the show, but they offer an unexpected, added bonus: watching Agent Cooper hawk Georgia Coffee in ads that aired only in Japan. They are quite possibly more hilarious and bizarre than anything in the show itself. The features do a great job of reminding an old audience, and explaining to a new one, why the show had such a devoted following. To quote one actress from the show: "It was unique, it came at a time when television was boring... there was nothing else like it on television." --Daniel Vancini

5 out of 5 stars One of televisions best shows...   February 27, 2010
Joseph D. Land
Twin peaks truly was a excellent show that burned brightly for a short time then fizzled out as quickly as it came. The main reason was network pressure for Lynch and Frost to solve the Laura Palmer case before it's time (which may have never even been meant to be solved). The mystery of who killed Laura was meant to be a driving force in the shows for years and years but when they were forced to solve it midway through the second season it destroyed one of the things that made the show so compelling. After that, the twin peaks plane didn't just crash and burn but burst into flames in mid air. It really is remarkable to see how the quality that made the show so great suddenly vanished almost immediately after the murder was solved. Sure the show was still decent but never near close to it's glory days.

I'd say that the first 16 episodes of the series were masterpieces of not only storytelling but cinematography. Beautiful shots, vibrant colors (which are so rich due to the digital remastering) and that amazing twin peaks music to back it all up really make this series a pleasure to watch. Each episode (especially the first seven) are like a quality film unto their own. If you have never seen this show, you really owe it to yourself to check it out. I remember seeing it as a young child and watched it again for the first time in almost 20 years last winter and was utterly blown away by what a great show this is.

The special features on this box set are amazing too. The SNL skit is so funny and it has a nice 2-hr film on the making of the series that any fan will love. A Slice of David Lynch is also really great to watch and really shows what a cool guy David Lynch really is; he seems non at all "pretentious" as it might seem for some of the oddness of his work and is a really funny guy too.




4 out of 5 stars Beautiful remastering   February 3, 2010
N. Haack (Milwaukee, WI)
The only thing preventing this from 5 stars is that for some reason the log lady intros are not remastered. Everything else is remastered but the log lady intros remind me of worn down VHS tapes.


5 out of 5 stars Twin Peaks   January 30, 2010
Lydia Lips (UP Michigan)
This is an all-in-one collection of one of the best "dark" television series. I was more than pleased with this item. I had seen either season one or season two but I didn't want to buy them seperately. This is the one set to buy. David Lynch fans will love it. I am a very satisfied customer. This is an excellent series for a "marathon".



5 out of 5 stars Truly IS a gold box set   December 31, 2009
Erik (Irvine, CA)
This version of the series on DVD is truly awesome. For the first time, the pilot episode is included, and it's so great to have the ENTIRE series in one set. The perfect gift for any true TP fan, and a great gift for anyone you want to introduce the series to.


5 out of 5 stars OK, it's time for a cup of joe and a donut   December 29, 2009

One of the most original and interesting tv shows was the 1990s series Twin Peaks, and it has developed a bit of a cult following. The show was created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, and initially centered on solving the murder of a teenage girl, Laura Palmer, in a quiet Northwestern logging town called Twin Peaks. But though the series focused on Laura's death, the show was compelling because it highlighted the interactions between the interesting and eccentric characters, exposed seedy events infusing the town and environs -- complete with paranormal undertones. Basically the series explored the mystery of life, the mystery of death, and the mystery of the woods surrounding Twin Peaks.

Although the first and second seasons have been available in DVD format for a while now, the critical pilot episode was not included in these previous editions. However, you can now get the complete series of Twin Peaks -- the pilot episode plus seasons one and two -- with Twin Peaks - The Definitive Gold Box Edition.

The DVD collection also includes noteworthy additions such as international versions of the pilot, an interview with David Lynch, Log Lady introductions for each episode, the "Falling" music video featuring Julee Cruise, Japanese Georgia Coffee commercials, the "Saturday Night Live" opening monologue and "Twin Peaks" sketch featuring Kyle MacLachlan, and behind the scenes pictures.

This DVD set is a great way to experience the show.

Enjoy!
