Common Sense Media

Parents need to know that while Twin Peaks is an award-winning television series that explores morality and identity in a fresh and original way, it still may be too disturbing for many teens.

The Hollywood Reporter

It’s television at its best — climax, building, and climaxing again, ever drawing the viewer into its intrigue.

Entertainment Weekly

David Lynch isn’t condescending to television... Twin Peaks makes you aware of just how slapped together most TV entertainment is; its calm, deliberate eccentricity is a virtue in itself.

TVLine

Showtime’s Twin Peaks revival took all of the problems that plagued Season 2 and Fire Walk With Me, amplified them and stretched them out for two extremely long hours.

Season 1 is mesmerizing – and surprisingly, it’s not because of the weirdness of things like the Red Room dream, but simply because of the evocative woodlands, incongruently pretty score and salt-of-the-earth folks.
