Hello,
Some of you
may have already heard about Twin Peaks before, some of you may have not. Today
I’m going to tell you all about it. I only just started watching this recently,
as when this came out on April 8th 1990, I was only 7 days old so
Twin Peaks wasn’t really on my watch list by then! It was created by Mark Frost
and David Lynch and was aired from April 8th 1990 to June 10th
1991 and starred the likes of Kyle MacLachlan, Dana Ashbrook, Richard Beymer,
Joan Chen, Lara Flynn Boyle and a list of others. The episodes duration are
roughly around 47 minutes which is just the average sort of time, however the
pilot episode was a whopping 94 minutes which was so good because it really
drew you in!
Like many
others Twin Peaks has really inspired me, if you browse the pages of etsy you
will see the different products all dedicated to this show! I am currently
working on a few products that are Twin Peaks related and I will be showing some
sneak peeks on my instagram but also I’ll pop a sneak peek up on the blog next
week. I am very excited to work on these and I can’t wait for you to see them!
Anyway back
to the show.
Twin Peaks is
an American mystery thriller Tv show that was aired on ABC originally. It
follows an investigation headed by Special Agent Dale Cooper into the recent
murder of a young girl called Laura Palmer. Twin Peaks became one of the top
rated TV shows of the 1990s and now it has a devoted cult fan base and has become
a part of popular culture. Declining viewer ratings led to ABC’s insistence
that the identity of Laura’s murderer be revealed midway through season two.
The series was followed by a film called Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me in 1992
which serves as a prequel to the television series.
Lynch’s other
work like Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks explores the veneer of small town
respectability and the seedier layers of life lurking below to expose the dark
and painful truths that lie beneath. The characters at first seem innocent but
as the layers are peeled back it exposes the double lives that some of them in
fact live.
Unfortunately
Twin Peaks was another one of those TV shows that was cancelled way before it’s
time, along with the likes of Firefly and Dollhouse as examples (not bitter in
the slightest!).
My favourite
character so far would definitely be the log lady, I love her! It’s got to the
stage that she is the character that seems to be inspiring me the most!!!!
Anyway you should definitely give Twin Peaks a go, I can’t wait to get some
more time to sit down and blast through this show!
Thank you for
reading
