Jan 16, 2023Though a tad too bloated and fantastical, the second season of Twin Peaks is a meticulously crafted and narratively intriguing tv season that is clever in its handling of different genres and is backed up with great characters and solid performances that fuilfills the groovy style and visionary direction the show presents.

Aug 25, 2022Don't waste your time. You will be wondering what was the point when you are all finished.

Aug 19, 2022Virou uma novela fantasiosa com arcos desnecessários e atuações forçadas, incrível como o potencial da primeira vai por ralo abaixo.
-
Jun 30, 2022Unfortunately the director was forced to change his idea and Twin Peaks was ruined, but the core is still there and the last episode even some of them to be really bad, deserve to be watched as this is one of the best tv series ever made.

May 23, 2022The greatest 2-season crime drama ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Including the script, the locations, and the actors, and crew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May 19, 2022I love Twin Peaks. The first season was great and the second season was solid. It does not get a full five stars due to the string of episodes 13-18 in which it was almost unwatchable, however; the finale in which Lynch returned for, more than made up for those episodes. I love the music, the way it is filmed, and the 90s camera work. Nothing beats the mystery of the red room for me, can't wait to watch the film and the reboot...

Apr 18, 2022Twin Peaks' second season remains just as compelling as the first with great cinematography, performances, direction music and atmosphere...until the executives told David Lynch to solve the mystery he had no intention of revealing, not at this point anyway. What follows is a show that is mostly filler that plays the soap opera stuff completely straight and struggles to find reasons to prevent Cooper from leaving the titular town. It didn't help that the one storyline people were the most interested in was vetoed by Kyle MacLachlan. It was nice seeing a pre-X-Files David Duchovny, even if the role has aged poorly given the harmful stereotypes associated with cis men playing trans women. Then again, it was never made clear at this stage if Denise was trans or a cross-dresser. The de facto series finale saved things due to Lynch's return but sadly the damage was done and the show got cancelled leaving people haunted for the next 25 years with the knowledge that THAT was how the show ended. Twin Peaks' second season still has enough compelling material to be worth a watch, mainly the hilariously over-the-top Windom Earle but things were never the same once it became a pop-culture phenomenon and gave audiences exactly what they asked for. The Log Lady intro on the DVD for that episode actually made a good point about the sadness that comes with knowledge. As for the prequel film and The Return? Well, Twin Peaks, I'll see you again in a couple of months' time. Meanwhile...

Apr 11, 20224.5/5 if scoring only the portion for which Lynch was present. That he was able to rescue the plot in the season finale is remarkable given the depths to which it had sunk in his absence.

Nov 18, 2020The story continues after season 1's cliffhanger to end with an ever bigger cliffhanger, too big to be halted for 25 years, to be honest. This is one of my bigger problems with this season, along with the subplots hell that tarnishes the middle episodes. After a great start that peaks with the demise of Laura's murderer, it's a mess of pointless filler stories. Only at the end of the season it all gets back on track tying back to the main plot with a spectacular, even if inconclusive, ending. All the other elements that worked in the first season are there: unpredictability of the genre (drama/comedy/mistery/thriller/horror/sci-fi/soap/romance/nonsense...), memorable soundtrack (God bless Badalamenti), quirky characters, and countless cups of joe.
