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.

I try watching it when it came out. Unfortunately I was working too much, and Twin Peaks proved to demanding for my tired brain. I thought to myself "I'll get back to it later". Of course "later" translated to almost 8 years. I'm very glad I watched it. I'm actually sad I didn't do it sooner, and that I haven't watched it many times over by now. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/14/24 Full Review Audience Member Nearly an amazing show, however there are about 20 different story lines without explanation. Yes, you could consider it ‘art’ and interpret. But for fans, wanting to see the outcome and comeback for beloved characters after 25 years of wondering what the hell happened in that original season 2 ending, are left with nothing but more questions. Those who are content with this conclusion, and think it ended perfectly are in delusion and probably like eating their chicken raw.
