TWIN PEAKS S1E1 (pilot) "Northwest Passage" - Full Watch Along

Twin Peaks - Pilot Episode (Season 1, Episode 1: "Northwest Passage") Twin Peaks is an American surrealist mystery-horror drama television series created by Mark Frost and David Lynch. It premiered on ABC on April 8, 1990, and ran for two seasons until its cancellation in 1991. The show returned in 2017 for a third season on Showtime. Set in the fictional Pacific Northwest town of Twin Peaks, the series follows an investigation led by FBI special agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) into the murder of local teenager Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). The show's narrative draws on the characteristics of detective fiction, but its uncanny tone, supernatural elements, and campy, melodramatic portrayal of eccentric characters also draw from American horror and soap opera tropes. Like much of Lynch's work, it is distinguished by surrealism, distinctive cinematography, and offbeat humor. The musical score was composed by Angelo Badalamenti with Lynch.

My favorite show ever. Don't listen to peoples' thoughts on season 2, just enjoy. As others have probably told you, watch order is Season 1, 2, then the movie Fire Walk with Me (and I'd ALSO add a series of deleted scenes from the film called MISSING PIECES) and then finally, the third season.

Love that you watched this, crossing my fingers you keep going! It's so rare to see anyone react to TP (I've searched believe me) so this makes this one of the most unique reactions you've done.

Also wanted to add that you mentioning that you need to see the next episode unlike the other picks is VERY appropriate because Twin Peaks was the first prime time drama to have heavy serialization in the story making it so so you couldn't miss an episode (unlike shows like Dallas before it where it was easy to just jump in). This was actually one of its downfalls because viewers weren't use to that and lost track. Crazy how far we've come...

You can't stop there. I haven't seen any of these, but it has my vote.

Just a little trivia for you. Donna’s mother is played by Mary Jo Deschanel. She is the mother of Emily (Bones) & Zooey (The New Girl, Elf) Deschanel.
