8. What a great show

I grew up in Issaquah, WA in the 80s, about 15 miles from where the exteriors were shot, and I often went hiking or canoeing in the area. We moved to the East Coast when I started high school in '88, and it just blew my mind at the time to see a huge hit show taking place in my old stomping grounds.

It may have descended into silly nonsense from time to time, but at it's best, it was challenging, fascinating, and packed an emotional punch like nothing else.

On rewatches, I'm still surprised at how sickeningly brutal the big reveal in "Lonely Souls" is, especially for network TV in the early 90s. There's been more gory and violent scenes on TV for sure, but not much has had the same level of visceral horror.

Not as good as Bitcoin.

11. Never watched it.

Not that I didn't want to, it was just a busy time in my life. I do like quirky cult movies and TV shows sometimes, though. For instance I liked Eraserhead.

12. The theme music was beautiful, haunting

13. Exactly.

Lovely.

It perfectly captured the moody, gray, overcast, introspective nature of the Northwest.

Twin Peaks was a self-consciously weird show, but the music was soothing and serene.

14. We watched every episode

I remember looking for clues in every show, lol My husband and I loved the subtle humor and the quirky characters. It got very wierd and the last couple of shows were hard to get through.

I bought a soft bound book called Welcome to Twin Peaks, an access guide. It was hilarious.

15. A little Lynch goes a long way for me.

Ditto for Kyle MacLachlan.

Blue Velvet clocks in at 2 hours, and it stays interesting (imo) thanks to Dennis Hopper.
