It's hard to think of Twin Peaks in terms of "best episodes" and "worst episodes" because it's all so interconnected, but it's a minor miracle that the Season 2 finale is as good as it is. Go to Full Review Keith Phipps AV Club 05/14/2017

Using a strobe is such a cheap effect but it works almost every time, whether in Alien or here. (Or Fire Walk With Me for that matter.) Here it lends some energy to Annie's abduction and builds the tension for the big season finale. Go to Full Review Meredith Borders Birth.Movies.Death. 06/28/2017
Dance numbers, pantsless costumes, Donna's hideous updo, earnestly inane speeches, a pregnant lady doing the splits, something called "contortionist jazz exotica," drama, intrigue, suspense! I truly love the Miss Twin Peaks pageant. Go to Full Review H. Perry Horton Film School Rejects 05/19/2017
Outside of the finale and the episode resolving the Laura Palmer storyline, the final act of "Miss Twin Peaks" is as tense and dread-inducing as the series ever got. Go to Full Review Eric Diaz Nerdist 05/18/2017
3/5
There are several nice scenes, including the one between Audrey and her father, as well as Coop and Annie. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
