I really enjoyed it and I feel like fans of Lynch or Twin Peaks will really enjoy it. Lynch really delivered, I think, for fans of Twin Peaks and it felt like he was really trying to draw them right in.
I do wonder what people that had not seen Twin Peaks or may not be so familiar with Lynch's work might have thought if they tuned in. I mean this looked like it could have been shot in the 1980s. It moved slowly, lots of long pauses and locked down camera shots, explained nothing, unless you know the show the dialogue and characters were likely a total mystery, the acting often was bad, amateurish, or over the top, and the effects were fairly cheesy. I think all of this would totally throw new viewers...but I guess we will see.
Most of us responding here I think are already fans so we are all in but I really feel like this was not a point where new folks could dive in. I feel like people if they wanted to get into this would have to go and watch the original series and movie first. If you have been there...well...you would enjoy being here.
