I can't believe I've never seen Twin Peaks. It came out when I just couldn't commit to watching a TV show, what with being in university and singing and dancing in the bars of Carmarthen! With the passing of David Lynch I decided to watch his body of work, and seeing as I've seen a lot of his movies, this show seemed like the logical starting point.
I loved this pilot episode, setting everything up nicely, and the series is just getting better every episode. I can understand its reputation as groundbreaking. The score, cast, writing, everything, is incredible. It really does pull you in.
