Twin Peaks

Mark Frost and David Lynch created Twin Peaks, an American mystery-horror serial drama television series. It premiered on ABC on April 8, 1990, and lasted two seasons until being canceled in 1991. The program gained a devoted cult following in the years after its broadcast, and it has been mentioned in a wide range of media. Twin Peaks is commonly quoted as one of the greatest television series of all time, with overwhelming acclaim from critics and audiences alike.

The series follows an investigation into the death of homecoming queen Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) in the imaginary town of Twin Peaks, Washington, headed by FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) and local Sheriff Harry S. Truman (Michael Ontkean). The show's plot is based on detective fiction, but its unsettling tone, supernatural undertones, and campy, theatrical portrayal of quirky individuals are also influenced by American soap operas and horror cliches. Surrealism, odd comedy, and unusual cinematography distinguish it from much of Lynch's work.
