Twin Peaks devotees will jump at the chance to return to the spooky town that
might just be the anti-Mayberry. Rarely syndicated, the Twin Peaks
television series has lost none of its quirky and queasy power to get under your
skin and haunt your dreams. Lose yourself in David Lynch and Mark Frost's murder
mystery and soap opera, which unfolds, in one character's words, "like a
beautiful dream and terrible nightmare all at once." Twin Peaks was a pop
culture phenomenon for one season at least, until the increasingly bizarre
twists and maddening teases so confounded audiences that they lost interest in
just who killed Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). An eclectic ensemble cast, including Kyle MacLachlan as straight-arrow
FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper, Michael Ontkean as local Sheriff Harry S. Truman,
Sherilyn Fenn as bad girl Audrey Horne, Peggy Lipton as waitress Norma Jennings, Catherine Coulson as the Log Lady,
Lara Flynn Boyle as good girl Donna Hayward and Miguel Ferrer, hilarious as forensics expert Albert Rosenfield
(who has absolutely no "social niceties"). |
