Drew Grant Observer 05/19/2017
In terms of how it's structured, Twin Peaks' character motivations more resembles the timeline of Primer than anything else. (But, with, you know, plot substituted for time loops.) Go to Full Review Noel Murray New York Times 05/19/2017
Donna's "good girl with wicked desires" character arc isn't as flashy as that of some of this show's other women, but in some ways it is the most relatable because she is so "normal." Go to Full Review Keith Phipps AV Club 05/14/2017

The biggest problem is the absence of atmosphere. This is the first episode of Twin Peaks that doesn't feel like Twin Peaks. It looks too flat, plays too predictably, and moves too clunkily. It feels too much like television. Go to Full Review Meredith Borders Birth.Movies.Death. 06/20/2017
Oh, god. The M.T. Wentz stuff. I hate it for a number of reasons, but mostly because it brings out nice guy Hank, and nice guy Hank is way worse than fake tough guy Hank. At least he gets his ass handed to him. Go to Full Review Jenny Jediny Not Coming to a Theater Near You 05/31/2017
Although Audrey's rescue at One Eyed Jack's dominates episode 12, the undercurrents of seduction and Laura's secrets come into full force at Harold's apartment as Donna and Maddy attempt their own raid in stealing Laura's secret diary.
