Featured review
A somewhat frustrating opener, but it sets up a lot of important things for the phenomenal second part.
There are many things that I loved about this first part of the new Twin Peaks, but there are also a couple of things that frustrate me. I hope that people don't stop watching it at this point, because all of the issues I had with this episode pay off very nicely in the next one. By the time I was done, I loved it. But I think many people are going to dislike it, particularly given the immense hype surrounding the new series.
Most of the episode seems totally unconnected to Twin Peaks. It takes place in other locations following other characters. Periodically, every ten minutes or so, scenes with Twin Peaks characters are sprinkled in. I enjoyed both these aspects of the episode on their own. The rare moments of Twin Peaks provided by the episode were very nostalgic and on point tonally. And the rest of it was very well executed generic David Lynch stuff. It's just... the two did not gel well together. The show is called Twin Peaks, and so those scenes in the town with the old characters are what we are expecting to see. By consequence, the other stuff feels like a jarring commercial break that we are waiting through so we can get back to the good stuff, despite the fact that it is good in its own right. On top of this, the transitions between the classic Twin Peaks stuff and the new stuff were not at all smooth.
As a result, I found this first part to be a somewhat unsatisfying experience. But, with that being said, the second part does a better job of this and shows why these things had to be the way they are.
