Review of Twin Peaks

Twin Peaks (2017)
4/10
Lacks atmosphere, heart and soul of the first two seasons
7 April 2021
There's always a great chance that sequels aren't going to be as good as the original and this is yet again another fine example how it usually goes.

The earlier two seasons raised the bar so high that it was only going to be inevitable that the third season was going to be weak.

In the first two seasons there weren't many unreasonably violent scenes and there was no sex at all. After all, great show doesn't need cheap tricks at all to work. Same can't be said of the third season which makes cheap tricks another form of art.

In my opinion the decision of not playing the hypnotic music in the background was a great mistake. Nowadays directors don't even know how to use music to enhance the experience and yet again, it's no surprise that Twin peaks without the catchy music isn't quite like Twin peaks at all. All what's left is the theme that is played on each intro.

It's not my Twin Peaks anymore.
