Fan T Simply the greatest piece of art of the 21st Century. David Lynch's final project and ultimately his Magnum Opus is an incredibly cinematic experience that leaves audiences joyous, laughing, perplexed and horrified in the span of 18 hours. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/08/25 Full Review lovely A Worst 18 hours of my life that I will never get back. Twin Peaks died on season two, episode 8. Whatever came after that, including this mess, should not be canon. If you want to see how the characters and story you love get destroyed infront of you, keep watching. I truly don't understand the people that said this was good, it was a bunch of pretentious load of crap with no plot nor 'deeper' meaning whatsoever. The story goes absolutetly nowhere, the only good thing was when we get to see Laura at the end and that's it. All characters end up suffering from flanderization due to lazy writing which is sad because the first season was a masterpiece. David Lynch was a genius but this was truly not his best work at all! May he rest in peace. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/25 Full Review Jacob B At times, less a third season of Twin Peaks and more an 18-hour-long feature film, one thing The Return is not interested in being is a standard revival. If you were expecting another murder to occur in that quiet little town, you've got another thing coming. Twin Peaks Season 3 has it all: unconventional storytelling, creative visuals, strong acting from everyone involved with characters both old and new, including guest stars from back in the '90s, being just as quirky and/or memorable and even being surprisingly quotable. Like, some of the dialogue, even at its most simplistic, reaches borderline Pulp Fiction-levels of memorability and they don't even have to involve the iconic backwards talk. All culminating in an ending that, let's just say, gives you a middle finger towards the idea of closure. There's actually quite a haunting example of bookends in it. Prepare to embrace the surrealism rather than try to make sense of it, especially in the eighth episode, and understand that this revival is not just darker than the original show but is tonally and structurally closer to the prequel movie Fire Walk With Me. Do those things plus have patience in certain spots and overall, you should find Twin Peaks: The Return to be really damn good television, showing that there's still a place for this kind of genre fare in the more prestigious era in the 2010's that TV found itself in. Not too shabby for a show that, unless you live in Japan, found itself demoted from instant mainstream hit to glorified cult classic. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Hardy K The absolute best television series I have ever seen. Lynch is widening the possibilities of movie making once more. This is an astonishing achievement and the amount of humanism on display was for me indeed life changing. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review Mason M Though extremely slow and and almost impossible to decipher, Twin Peaks: The Return adds much more confusion to David Lynch's densest work and also finally gives us the tools to decode the show. It's not the most enjoyable watch, but it has enough intrigue and amazing episodes to remain entertaining. The Return is mainly good due to it being entirely directed by Lynch himself and finally giving us all of the parts to solve the Twin Peaks mystery. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Francesco M I loved it. Best Twin Peaks season. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
