Twin Peaks
I really have to say that there are a lot of television shows out there right now that are genuine rubbish! It seems like nothing is written for the long term anymore, and that every episode is thought up precisely 24 hours before it goes on air. Don’t get me wrong, who doesn’t love a little bit of Eastenders, but it really is easy sometimes to get a bit tired of the complete lack of character development throughout the run of a show.
This is what I loved about the television show Twin Peaks that came out in the early nineties. Directed by the unstoppable David Lynch it had everyone in the world discussing Who Killed Laura? Turns out that David Lynch actually had all six seasons written before they even began filming! Thus making actually character arcs and creating a more in-depth story line that people wanted to follow, the only downside to the entire thing is that they decided to cancel the entire series after 2 seasons. So you should probably be warned of that before you jump in to start watching the series, and then in an attempt to satisfy fans the producers decided to make a movie. Which is fine other then they fact they told Lynch that if he made the movie he could have another season, so Lynch put a bunch of new characters in the film and alas no season three.
In short this is something I would definitely recommend, but beware that you will be terribly disappointed when it all comes to an end!
