Who killed Laura Palmer? Many viewers, tired of the hype, are saying, Who cares? I say it too, but as praise. Plot is irrelevant; moments are everything. Lynch and Frost have mastered a way to make a weekly series endlessly interesting.

The writing and the story look and sound different. Even when nothing happens, it's different TV. [6 Nov 1990]

Хоть это и второй сезон, но отделить по смыслу от первого его не выйдет. Хоть и провисает в середине сериал, но последние эпизоды компенсируют все сполна, уже за них можно ставить десятку

It felt more interesting to me than the first season because the story loosened up a lot and the investigation was enhanced by a lot of supernatural elements. I'm still not invested in the soap opera themes, but most of the Black Lodge stuff is excellent. And that final episode definitely dropped my jaw. It had me laughing, surprised and scared. It's just that getting there felt fairly boring to me.

Продолжение первого сезона все в том же духе, но есть отличе что авторы решили превратить сериал из подобие детектива в подобие интересного сериала с претензиям на авторство и артхаус.

Season 2 of Twin Peaks is a clear example of why not every season should be 22 episodes long. Self-indulgent, meandering, confusing, pretentious, overlong...
