I am a huge fan of David Lynch because he makes you think. He leaves things up to interpretation and viewing his art requires discussion afterward. His stories are deep, always strange, like nothing else out there, and usually need a few viewings before you have that "Aha" moment when everything makes sense (or seems to until you watch it again). His movies and TV shows are puzzles, and that's what I think a lot of people don't get. Imagination and thinking outside the box are prerequisites.
I watched all four episodes that were available last night and I am blown away. It's good to finally have you back Mr. Lynch.
I'm not going to talk about the plot of "The Return" at all because giving anything away would ruin the experience. Instead, I will say that watching the original Twin Peaks along with Fire Walk With Me would be a good idea just to familiarize yourself with the Twin Peaks characters, and David Lynch's style. It's a show that's hard to categorize into any one genre. Mystery, horror, soap opera, comedy, drama... it fits all of these. The scene at the vet involving Cooper and the Llama may be one of the funniest moments I've ever seen on television. But the new Twin Peaks was entirely orchestrated by David Lynch, who directed the entire series... and it shows.
This is not a show that can be put on while your doing chores, or anything else for that matter. It demands your attention. Casual viewing will most likely leave you lost, confused, and frustrated. But careful attentive viewers will be greatly rewarded with a story told like no other. This is Lynch at his best. Prepare to be uncomfortable in the best possible way.
I would encourage anyone who wants more Lynch to view (2001) Mulholland Dr. as well. There's a reason it was called the best movie of the decade.
