I am not assuming that people haven't heard of "Twin Peaks," it's one of the most well known television series in the world! This is really another of my viewing recommendations. I have found that a lot of fans of the "original series" were either late in finding out about, or didn't know about, the "return series" released on Showtime in 2017. Up until recently we didn't have access to the Showtime material and we just started watching it out-right. I now REALLY wish we had taken the time to re-watch the first two seasons from the early 90's first. You might not think that, even with such a meticulous filmmaker like Lynch, that there would be a lot of granular detail in a series returned to life after so long a hiatus. WRONG. I now am looking for some viewing calendar space with which to go back and start the whole thing from the beginning later this year. But I see on various social media that a lot of peeps are doing a watch for the spooky month. If you haven't seen the 2017 third season and haven't seen the original recently, take it from someone who didn't approach the return properly. You are going to want to have the details of the original fresh in mind when tackling the new stuff.
Worth watching the Fire Walks With Me movie too, as The Return references a lot of stuff that happens in that too! I'm planning on watching all three seasons again once Halloween is past! :)
