Why the fuck is this show so popular?

Good story, great atmosphere and soundtrack and an air of mystery that raised it above standard TV shows.

It's weird and quirky friendo :^)

It changed the course of TV for the better. Lynch brought kino to the masses. Plus the second season has one of the most violent sequences ever broadcast on prime time.

>>82599270
>Changed the course of TV for the better

That's a bold statement

It was a pioneer. Like Citizen Kane, empty but new

It's reddit

It had an interesting mystery filled with weird characters and circumstances.

>>82599017
Why?

>>82599372
And I can back it up. TV was primarily cops/law/dr shows. After Peaks we got x-files, sopranos, etc. all shows that the creators often name drop Peaks as a big influence.

People only remember the first season plus first 9 episodes of the second. After that, they forget the torture of watching the rest of the show.

No. Not for me, thank you. I don't judge people who like it, but it's not my cup of tea.

>>82599642
Yes. Watch the show until the killer is revealed. Episode 9 season 2 (i think). Then watch from episode 18-22. Nothing is missed in between that really.

Not really.

Very comfy show with some genuinely shocking moments. It's a detective story but it's also an ironic soap opera with demons and spirits. Soundtrack is gr7

>Likable characters
Only a few of them, most are insufferable cunts, like the old lady and her dumbass cuck husband, Bobby is fucking dreadful and whenever he is on screen I want to neck myself, James is literally retarded and looks like a chimp, Audrey is a dumb slut, Donna is stupid as hell, then you have like two random old dudes who cheat on their wives and a half blind girl who seppukus for no reason.

The only likable characters are Dale and the Sheriff

The entire plot revolves around the rest of the characters being fucking retarded and having Dale pick up the pieces.

>>82600034
>In general, the largest cities have a greater presence of police officers than smaller and mid-sized jurisdictions. On average, all localities with populations of at least 50,000 employed 16.6 officers and 21.4 total personnel for every 10,000 residents in 2015, according to the FBI data.

Sounds like they should have around eighty police officers. Even accounting for it being a rural area, three is really thin coverage.

>>82599017
There wasnt much else on in 1990s TV

>>82599017
I have no idea. This is undoubtedly one of the dullest franchises in the history of TV franchises. Seriously, each episode following the boy FBI agent and his pals from Twin Peaks Sheriff Department as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Lynch vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing an episode; he made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for his meditation. The Twin Peaks series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-Northern Exposure series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least FWWM was good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the script was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a fire walk with me, the author wrote instead that the character "had the fury of his own momentum".

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Lynch's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that he has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Twin Peaks by the same Chris Carter. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are watching Twin Peaks at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to watch X-Files." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you watch "Twin Peaks" you are, in fact, trained to watch X-Files.

Lynch and Frost wanted the town to have 5,000 people in it. The executives weren't keen on that as they thought that people would not be able to identify with such a small town. So Lynch and Frost changed the sign and added a 1 at the end to appease the producers, however for all intents and purposes the town had 5,000 people within the confines of the show itself. At no other point in the series other than the sign is that number alluded to, rather its always referred to as a very small town.

>>82600413
Graham said she isn't returning despite wanting to, which is bullshit.

>>82600442
He isn't. He just doesn't like brunettes. Notice how horny he got the first time he met Annie. All smiling and grinning and trying to hide his boner underneath the table. It was obviou.

I love it but is not that popular. Season 3 is right around the corner, so your typical YouTube Nerd Crew are shitting videos to get those views, but on social media barely anyone is talking about it. It's your usual shit where fags claim to like it because nerd points, but in reality, most people can't even make it through season 2.
