Twin Peaks been on my list for ages, doubt its going to come to amazon or netflix though so will have to wait until im done with netflix and get a paramount+ sub.

Incidentally the composer who did the music, Angelo Badalamenti, passed away on the 11th. RIP. I have listened to the music today and if the show is as good as that it will be a cracker.

It is mate. Everything about it oozes class. Like I said though, the storyline isn't linear and if you don't give it 100% attention you're fucked

I dowoaded the torrent. Wicked boy that I am haha!

@richard-latimer I love Twin Peaks. Agree totally about the return. Excellent

I'm still a few episodes out from the end. Episode 8 was mental. "Got a light?"......"got a light?"

Picking up on the Twin Peaks theme again it's not just the story and the music etc...it's the characters. The eccentricity of the characters.

David Lynch's Gordon Cole is brilliant. Adds so much humour to the twisted darkness.
Also Agent Cooper and his love for coffee and cherry pie.
Deputy Andy and the receptionist. Another 2 great characters!

Agree with all that. Absolutely fantastic. I was worried they were going to c**k it up but they really didn’t.

Can I point you in the direction of Andor? Totally different to any Star Wars ever and the build up to the final two episodes is perfection. I reckon it will be right up your street. Which is great as it is pretty much street level small Star Wars. More Blade Runner and 1984 than Star Wars. Amazing

Three things I watched in the last two weeks.
You dont know me on Netflix--Excellent-Strange Ending.
Tokyo Vice-Underwhelmed after lots of advertising, would not put you off but did not blow my socks, just seemed to be waiting for the action to start and it never did, ending ready for the next series, answering no questions on the plot!
Spiderhead-Thats a couple of hours of my life Ill never get back-Awful

Other defo to watch
SAS Rogue Heroes-BEEB iplayer

Any fans of Twin Peaks here?

Finally got round to watching the Return and it's as brilliant and fucked up as the original!!

No other fans other than me and @John-Folan?

Got to be the one of the best TV series ever in my opinion and according to IMDB as well.

Nothing like it anywhere....certainly at the time....and the score is absolutely amazing as well. Angelo Badalamenti's theme (Laura's Theme) is both beautiful and haunting!

Agree with you about the music.

from memory i started watching it when it first came out but it became too confusing for me. Might give it another go

I did that too mate. Years ago. Stuck with it the 2nd time and it's amazing. Not the kind of thing you can give any less less than 100% attention to. The storyline is hardly linear as is

Wednesday is soooo good finished it all loved it.

Limitless Chris Hemsworth is pretty good intro to a lot of the deeper stuff in the living longer world. @Adam and I are a bit obsessed with living longer.

I’m living forever. Just so I can wait for Spurs to win the league

Maybe in a parallel universe.....:man_shrugging_light_skin_tone:

No we would still f**k it up
