Director David Lynch's shockingly original television series mesmerized American audiences when its two-hour pilot episode aired on April 8, 1990, forever changing the face of prime-time television in the process. A bizarre, ingenious, hysterical, terrifying murder mystery set in the Pacific Northwest logging town of Twin Peaks, the series opens with the discovery of the body of Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee), a seemingly straitlaced high school student. Assigned to the case is FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan), a quirky man who converses regularly with Diane, his portable tape recorder. As Cooper settles into his life in Twin Peaks, he meets a revolving cast of characters who are all off-kilter in their own personal way. Gradually, the town's facade of extreme normality begins to crack mightily, revealing an endless barrage of schemes, fronts, and hidden relationships that expose Twin Peaks as the disturbed, unsettling town that it is. Lynch, who directed only a handful of episodes, nonetheless employed a group of writers and directors who were able to bring his startlingly distinct vision to life, creating an unforgettable landscape that is one of the most unique projects ever to appear on major network television. This set includes all 29 hours of the series. [More]

Fascinating, eccentric, intelligent and highly entertaining television for those who are open to something more than a little bit different.

Twin Peaks is part murder mystery, part small town peculiarity. Blame this on the ever so differing styles of Frost and Lynch who revels in his own dark artistry. What a refreshing series it was!
