Review of Part 18

Twin Peaks: Part 18 (2017)
Season 1, Episode 18
7/10
Part 18
31 December 2017
Warning: Spoilers
If Episode 17 was an instalment for most of the fans with a happy ending that is carried over to the start of this episode as a new Dougie is reunited with his family.

The rest of the finale is purely for Frost/Lynch. Slow, stilted, haunting and otherworldly.

Dale Cooper and Diane go off to save Laura Palmer but it means crossing over to a dark, eerie alternative world and timeline. Cooper meets a woman who looks like Laura, she is happy to run away with the FBI. In her home is the body of a dead man. When they arrive at the old Palmer's house the series concludes with a shrill scream, the lights going off and the audience unsure if Cooper is lost and haunted with the realisation that he can never save Laura Palmer.

It may not be something I completely understand, some of it is ambiguous and off kilter. There are plot lines that are still hanging such as what is happening to Audrey Horne. However the series overall has been a treat.
