What to Know

Critics Consensus

"Part One" suggests Twin Peaks hasn't left any of its singularly unsettling power during the show's long layoff -- and proves this is one series revival not motivated by empty nostalgia.

Impatience, boredom, irritation, agitation (all very grounding human emotions) segue into a more transcendental state of mind. Go to Full Review James White Empire Magazine 11/07/2017
5/5
Whereas the original show was stifled by other creative commitments, plot pressures from the network and declining ratings, Lynch and Frost have had nothing in their way this time. Go to Full Review Tom Huddleston Sight & Sound 06/30/2017
This time the questions aren't nearly so clear, the path is murky and the searchers themselves have become corrupted, warped by age and ambiguity. Go to Full Review Corey Atad Esquire Magazine 10/17/2018
The show has provided a strangely welcome return to a familiar world unsettled by the passage of time. It looks different, and it feels different, and that's more than a little scary, but you get the feeling that's exactly what David Lynch wants.

Was it subtle to have a scene where two people sit on a couch to watch a glass box which eventually devours their faces? Not remotely, but f--- subtlety. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
