worth watching?
>>
Theres like 10 max tv shows that anyone might consider good and it's one of them so it's worth a shot. There's no point even trying anything beyond the 10 and no i will NOT name those other 9
>>
>>216916418
Yes. It’s a bit of a pleb filter but if it clicks for you it’s a friend for life.
>>
>>216916457
if you don't name it i will kill myself

absolutely
seasons 1 is extremely comfy
season 2 starts comfy, dips into slop for 2 episodes after wrapping up the main mystery, then becomes weird AF kino

don't watch S3 immediately after 2
maybe wait a year, it's not more of the same but it's still great
>>
>>216916418
Ye man watch out for s2 tho second half of it is truly pointless dogshit you can just skip save the last couple eps. Return is pure kino
>>
>>216916418
The original series? Yes, definitely

>>
>>216916418
Definitely worth watching. Great season 1 but Lynch leaves mid second season and after that it's super boring until the finale when he comes back
>>
>>216916523
The return took 25 years to come out.
Don’t forget to watch the movie after the original series.
>>
>>216916418
Season one is great.
Season two is not. Only the main plot is interesting, but it feels rushed because Lynch lost interest in season two after the network told him to reveal the mystery.
All the other plots and characters in season two just come across as pointless filler.

because you'll need time to digest s1 and s2 first
s3 is a direct continuation in terms of the plot but not in terms of artistic direction
it has almost none of the comfy aspects of the original, and this is purposeful.

if you go directly into it you'll probably hate it for not being what you wanted rather than being able to appreciate it for what it is

>>216916418

the only correct way to watch it is one episode per day and a 25 year break between S2 and S3
>>
>>216916418
yes
watch season 1, then season 2, then the comaland miniseries cut of fire walk with me, then season 3

Yes. The film and series 3 are pretty much flawless. Just watch the series 1 episodes directed by Lynch if you can't be bothered with the whole thing. There's a lot of filler crap in there.

Season one and two absolutely. It gets a bit weird in the middle of season two and it feels like they were just trying to string it out but the last few episodes are god tier.

if you are apprehensive about starting Twin Peaks, I would suggest playing (or watching a video of) Shenmue
Twin Peaks influenced countless shows, movies, and games, but no artistic work got at the core of Twin Peaks like Shenmue did.
Shenmue teaches you how to watch Twin Peaks. You can better focus in on Twin Peaks' distinctive appeal and ignore its various minor flaws.

Depends. If you're the sort of person who likes to waste his time watching hours of a TV series, sure. If not, I'd stick with the pilot and the movie. The show has some novelty and excellent stuff throughout, but is a bit cute and ultimately designed to wind its own wheels. Season two is very inconsistent, bordering on unwatchable at times. Season three is highly praised, but I found it to be a pretty disappointing send off for a great director. If I could, I'd tell my past self to watch episode 8 and skip the rest.

Pseud plebbitors loved season three of Twin Peaks though. Truth is, Lynch has become broadly popular and there no real films left in his arsenal to champion. Twenty-five years ago, it was bold to defend Twin Peaks: FWWM or Lost Highway. In modern day, it's a totally mundane opinion. Maybe ride for Inland Empire if you want a hill to die on, but the movie isn't really worth it.

The Return was kino of the highest order. The original seasons are snoozefests. I don't know of any other show with this pattern where the revival is somehow far better than the original.

>>216927449
Well, I'm responding to a post which is acting as if reddit doesn't get Lynch films, when they certainly do. And honestly, you need to be bold as a person of taste. Most people just unthinkingly repeat other people's opinions, or adjust their opinions to fit in with a consensus.
>>216927452
Great, but now I hear nothing but praise for the season. Didn't Sight and Sound vote it as the one of the best films of the year, when it's not even a film? It's also the second highest rated entry for Lynch on letterboxd, after the original TV series. I'd say that letterboxd and reddit have a lot of overlap.

So Lynch is reddit.
>>
My wife wrote her grad thesis on Twin Peaks so I have seen it about a billion times.

If you can't appreciate things like outsider art or fool yourself into thinking that something like Tim and Eric is funny, then you probably aren't going to like Twin Peaks. It's esoteric, mostly pointless, and very weird. David Lynch was one of the last real artists so the things that he made aren't always very consumable.

Mad Men is full of smoking hot women, acting like women

>>216927351
He's not wrong. I mean, that Vulture quote is pretty much all you need.

There is much done with AI that is not good yet, which is the inevitable output you expect when any tool with wide-ranging potential and easy accessibility is introduced into the population. People rush to call it "slop" not because it necessarily objectively deserves such a qualifier, but because they have so much resentment and pain and bitterness towards a million other things happening to them in this "modern" world they feel a desperate burning need to call SOMETHING slop to signify their contempt at it all. Nothing exists in a vacuum; had AI come out in another generation, one less suffused with the incessant moaning of the unsatisfied midwits, its collective impression would have been significantly different.
>>
>>216919542
Overall, Mad Men is a better show than Twin Peaks. And Twin Peaks is much more female coded than Mad Men. Talk to some art hoes someday.
>>
>>216927868
It absolutely is not. It's feminist programming. It is conditioning you to accept narratives of the past that were not true, narratives that are beneficial to ideological groups that do not have your personal best interests in mind. And you lap it up because you lack the ability to read the subtext and compare it to actual history. It's a sham meant to prey on your immediate gratification in exchange for seeding you with beliefs that harm the people being mesmerized by its shiny jangly keys.
>>
>>216927610
Horrible take.
I love The Return as much as you do, but to call S1 and the wrap-up to S2 snoozefests is insane.
If anything it gets too silly, hardly something you'd sleep through.

Mad Men was made by women and ideological progressive feminists.

/pol/ brained post. Similar criticisms are made of the Wire, and what these criticisms miss is that while these shows certainly do have a bias, they're interesting because of what falls outside that bias.
>>
>>216927931
I'm not sure how your post is meant to work as some kind of argument. "If you have an opinion on this, then you must not talk about anything else"? I discuss feminist programming, and I also discuss shows prior to and contemporaneous to the recurrent waves of "political correctness" and other faux cultural trends and industry mandates.

Even so, that doesn't make it the more female coded show. The biggest fans of Twin Peaks I've known have been chicks - I've met a good number of art hoes who have Twin Peaks related tattoos. Lynch in general appeals a lot to women.

strawman
if you demand factual consistency regarding cultural content, you're going to miss a lot of solid shows
i don't care for the slimy way they float lies either, but you should know that it's actually the mainstream consensus, and some broad believing a history book doesn't negate the great acting and drama the show displayed
