"Don't search for all the answers at once," says a giant appearing to FBI Agent Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) in a vision. "A path is formed by laying one stone at a time." In Twin Peaks, that's easier said than done. Over the course of two seasons, that path went nowhere and everywhere. "Bureau guidelines, deductive technique, Tibetan method, and luck" don't cut it here. It also takes a little magic, which is what makes David Lynch and Mark Frost's bracingly original serial drama one of TV's ultimate trips, and still the stuff that fever dreams are made of. With the DVD release of season 2, die-hard Peakers can rekindle their obsession with this macabre, maddening, sinister, and surreal series set in the rural Pacific Northwest community whose bucolic surroundings hide "things dark and heinous." (If you're new to Twin Peaks, best to get the lay of the land by watching the brilliant feature-length pilot and the instant-cult-classic first season, which capture Twin at its peak. Neither is widely available on DVD, however.) Three main mysteries drive season 2. First, there's the still (!) unresolved murder of Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). Then, there's the question of who shot Cooper in the season 1 cliffhanger. And finally, ultimately: What about Bob? With its dream logic, bizarre behavior, and nightmare imagery, much of what transpires goes right by you. Some subplots (Sherilyn Fenn's sexpot Audrey held captive at the bordello, One-Eyed Jacks) are easier to latch on to than others (amnesiac Nadine believes she's an 18-year-old high schooler) And, yes, that's a pre-X-Files David Duchovny as Dennis/Denice, a transsexual DEA agent. In Twin Peaks' second season, the truth is out there, but we are entering A Few Good Men territory. When Laura's killer is at last revealed in episode 16, no doubt many will not be able to handle the truth. The teases, red herrings, and out-and-out gonzo looniness will try the patience of viewers with a more conventional bent. But, as Cooper observes at one point, "All in all, [it's] a very interesting experience," with enough doppelgangers, allusions, pop-culture references, and in-jokes to keep bloggers buzzing. If, for example, you get any pleasure from recognizing Hank Worden, who played Mose in The Searchers, as "the world's most decrepit room service waiter," then Twin Peaks may just make you feel right at home. --Donald Liebenson Beyond Twin Peaks

 An Old Nostalgic Show With Twists and Turns March 21, 2009
Jason Crawford (San Francisco)
Though I remembered much of the series, it is great to have this on DVD. Twin Peaks and David Lynch were the icons and greatest part of Television of the late 80's and early 90's. This DVD set is great. Enjoyable interviews and fresh news on the series that defined classic TV of the 80's.
 a must see, but best not to compare with season 1 March 1, 2009
Clary Sage Lamberton (asheville, nc)
season one of twin peaks was one of the greatest tv has known. season two is a drawn out mess in comparison. a lot of silly b stories and lack of direction in david lynche's strange absence contribute to the awkward feel of this too long 2nd chapter. that said, it's still twin peak's and it is a must see. just don't be expected the perfection of season one
Awesome September 11, 2008
Jennifer L. Matthews (San Francisco, CA)
I love twin peaks, so I love this. As soon as the first season is more affordable, I will upgrade from VHS.

If you order this item as I did from the States, be aware that there is a VAT fee of about 4.74 (depending on exchange rate). BUT the Post Office will cheerfully charge you 8.00 to collect the VAT - making a surcharge of 12.47. My advice - order it in the UK.
excellent June 24, 2008
mishi (los angeles, ca)
a great murder mystery that is full of twists and turns and at times can make you feel uneasy. it can be slow when it goes into details of each characters lives but i really enjoyed getting to know each of them and their dark secrets. and if these series doesn't make any sense it helps if you watch the movie which was also pretty trippy.
