But the pilot episode of Twin Peaks was one of the finest two hours in TV history. Bold, quirky, original. Not one misstep, in my opinion. I'd go further to say there were few missteps in all of Season 1. It was brilliant. After that it felt like ABC asked him to drag out the story and it lost its way.
Twin Peaks was ahead of its time. It was more suited to being a one season mini-series on a Netflix-like streaming service but they hadn't been invented yet.
