I already had Season 1 so I purchased this to refresh my memory for the now series airing now caled Twin Peaks: Returned. If you like a good Avant-Gard murder mystery, with an aura of Noir in colour wrapped in light humour, then I thoroughly recommend that you view this series. Even if you have watched it before, many of you will want to see it again in prelude to viewing the new Twin Peaks: Returned series now airing. This quality product has good packaging and many DVD extras that add excellent value to this timeless series.

Oh, please! Bad writing, really sad direction, poor acting, awful casting... I like some of the actors, but it was just awful! I am amazed that there is any following for this series. I couldn't stand it! I hope people expect MORE from TV shows.

Lynch is like real life. You can't use the adjective "surreal" anymore. (It is dead, killed and cremated.) Lynch leaves sentences unfinished, symphonies uncompleted, threads dangling, storylines mocked, characters straying. You just take it all in, sampling and savoring the moments he gives you. Yes, he is capable of making a beginning, middle and end movie, like "Straight Story", but with "Twin Peaks" and even "Dune" he gives you what he wants. Please sir, may I have more? No bloody way.
Twin Peaks debuted on ABC in the early 1990s. To this day, it remains one of the most well-written and well-acted nighttime dramas ever to appear on the small screen. The show never caught on with a mainstream audience, and was cancelled by ABC in its second season. The show contained science fiction and fantasy elements, but never enough to win over the SF fans that later clamored for shows such as The X-Files. Ironically, Twin Peaks was the inspiration for the X-Files, along with Picket Fences, Eerie, Indiana, and American Gothic. The first season of Twin Peaks came out on DVD several years ago. Fans such as myself have waited patiently for this second season to be released. It was worth the wait, and hopefully these DVDs will create more Peaks fans. I remember my shock at discovering who Laura Palmer's killer was. New viewers will experience the same excitement by viewing all 30+ episodes in order. I envy them! The packaging for this second season release is better than that of the first season DVD set. The first season DVDs tend to come off the plastic hubs, and rattle around in the box. The second season DVDs are packaged in individual plastic sleeves, and won't be scratched up by flying around inside the package. I actually bought two sets of Season Two, and have transferred my Season One discs to the Season Two packaging. If you are a fan of good drama, mystery, comedy, or science fiction, I highly recommend that you watch Twin Peaks!Read full review
I forgot what a soap opera Twin peaks was. I was sorter disapointed upon realizing that, but for the price i paid it has been entertaining and the characters are definitely engaging if not totally whacko.

Twin Peaks fans finally have cause to celebrate : the DVD release of the second season has arrived. It complements the first release to demonstrate why Twin Peaks is one of the most memorable and influential TV shows of all time. The " matrix " in the special features is particularly interesting. Finally, we can enjoy the series in its entirety and enjoy it you will. There's never been anything like Twin Peaks and there probably never will be. If you are new to the show, I would suggest starting at the beginning , but the second season is a must have and believe me, IT'S ABOUT TIME !!
I watched it back in the 80's but didnt remember alot. So for christmas I bought everything they made. Doubles and triples of it to share.

Strange, weird, uneven view of small town life from surrealist David Lynch. Lynch took TV to a different style and level with this show which hasn't been repeated since. Definitely offbeat and entertaining.

This series is definitely one of the most interesting and addictive television series ever made! Sadly, it ends a little too abruptly, as I think they'd planned to do a third season, that never materialized. But this shouldn't stop you from watching the whole thing! If you buy it, make sure to get the pilot episode, that comes with The Definitive Gold Collection. I wouldn't bother buying the seasons separately, because Season One doesn't include the pilot and you will want to see the whole thing. You'll also want "Fire Walk With Me", but hold off watching until you've watched the series first!
I loved the artistic liberties they took. It had so many cliche things, subtle jokes, costuming, etc. It was amusing to funny and sometimes serious. My one main problem is, after watching ALL of they 2 seasons, they left many of the smaller stories unresolved and ended it, in my opinion, badly. I was expecting something much more creative. All in all, I did enjopy it though if you were a Twin Peaks fan.
