AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: The lovely nightmare continues in Twin Peaks' second season, which suffers from some soporific subplots and a wobblier handle on tone, but remains vital television with its expansion of series lore and shocking cliffhanger.

Critic Reviews for Twin Peaks: Season 2
All Critics (10) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (10) | Rotten (0)
Frost and Lynch returned to Twin Peaks and managed to dig their way out of a very deep pit. Death, drama, and a compelling world returned with them, particularly in the final episode.
Lynch's own oddball predilections notwithstanding, the unique appeal of Twin Peaks was not its weirdness but its purity and virtuousness.
The first season was far more focused than the second, which meandered after Laura's murderer was IDed.
It was like watching someone hallucinate about a soap opera, floating in a nether-world of Americana between the 1950s and the 90s.
In concrete terms, David Lynch's show is a mystery series... But "Twin Peaks" isn't "C.S.I.: Pacific Northwest"-it feels like an emanation from another, purer realm, where emotions are heightened and unheard vibrations sing.
Viewers are eager for new, innovative programming. Somewhere on television, surely, there must be room for a provocative exploration of the American landscape, replete with drug problems and slices of huckleberry pie.
