Critic Reviews for Twin Peaks: Season 1
All Critics (26) | Top Critics (12) | Fresh (26) | Rotten (0)
What we have is a leg-pull of considerable class.
It's the most intelligent, gorgeously filmed and highly stylized series of this disappointing season.
Twin Peaks is like the horrific, teasing fever nightmare that takes you to the head of the darkened staircase and throws you off, leaving you frozen in midflight at an exquisite peak of terror and wordless exhilaration.
Imagine the eeriness of Twilight Zone, the wit of "Hill Street Blues," the stylishness of Miami Vice and the originality of Max Headroom combined with the vamping and soap-opera enticement of Dynasty.
Twin Peaks smuggled avant-garde into prime time, brimming with a surrealism you just didn't encounter back then... there's still nothing quite like it on TV.
The foray of filmmaker David (Blue Velvet) Lynch into series television is visually arresting and mysteriously atmospheric, as strange and unsettling a project as any in the medium's history.
