Twin Peaks: The Television Collection [DVD]

David Lynch's TV epic Twin Peaks took the world by storm in the late 80s and early 90s. The mystery of the death of Laura Palmer captivated millions of viewers. Every week people watched to see Agent Dale Cooper try to solve the Palmer case. The first season was groundbreaking but the second season was a big misfire that ended the show prematurely. After the failure of the lone film: Firewalk with Me, the show vanished until 2017 when season 3 (The Return) hit Showtime and again hit a home run. The show is amazing and was arguably the most influential show of the 90s. So lets say you want to get the entire series in collection: is that possible? Yes, but with a caveat. This collection gives you all of Twin Peaks Season 1,2, and 3. Their are around 16 BR discs worth of content. Not only do you get the entire show but you get hours and hours of special features (everything from interviews, cast meetings, cast reunions, and entire history of the show, fan conventions,etc) making this the perfect package for both newbies to TP hardcore fans. That said there a few knocks about this whole package. First on the show side: yes season 2 is a notable drop in quality from season 1, its a slog to get through whereas seasons 1 and 3 are amazing and will keep you hooked from beginning to the end. Second: this IS NOT the complete franchise as Firewalk with Me (the prequel film) is not included. If you are going to want to see everything the movie ( and the Missing Pieces extra footage), you need to watch this too. Fear not, the movie is available via the Criterion Collection (with its own batch of goodies including the missing pieces which was another 90 minutes of film footage ), so you can get everything pretty easily on here if need be. Lastly, the packaging is sturdy but sometimes the discs are a little annoying to remove so be forewarned. Conclusion: If you always wanted to start the show, this collection is great. If you are still a longtime fan who wants to watch it all over again, you will be giddy over the extras alone. Welcome to Twin Peaks friend, you must try the cherry pie Norma makes. P.S If you meet a little man in a red suit dancing be sure to listen to him.

The show is unimpeachable; that’s not what this is reviewing. The physical product is great; it’s a ton of discs, stacked 2x2 in sections across the bookpage-style package. I was concerned about having discs sit atop one another but as long as care is taken it hasn’t been an issue. The discs are very similar-looking but each clearly labels what episode range is on each. Feature-wise, each disc has the Log Lady intros from syndication and previously-ons which can be opted-in to auto play or not, not to mention a variety of making-ofs or interviews or outtakes depending on the disc. The box set is probably the definitive way to own the whole tv saga.

Best show ever! This is a must have for any collection.

Amazing deal! My best friend loves the series and was a perfect gift for her - lots of discs for lots of content!

I LOVE this show! When Twin Peaks originally aired, I never watched it. I think I was into a different show that aired at the same time. I was browsing TV shows and came across Twin Peaks. It caught my eye because the name seemed vaguely familiar, and it was recently released in Bluray format. I looked up the overview of the series, and based on the description alone, I found it intriguing! After a little more digging, I found that Twin Peaks was written and directed by David Lynch (RIP), who directed the original 'Dune' movie, which I loved! I was sold. I made the purchase and have been obsessed with watching it, ever since! From the opening theme and the shots of nature and saw manufacturing, etc, to the performances of Kyle McLaughlin and the rest of the cast, it's just an immersing show that draws you in, and convinces you that Twin Peaks is an actual place that exists. I'm so glad I don't have to wait for the weekly releases of the original air dates! I can easily see why it had such a devout following, in the early 90's. Twin Peaks opens with and follows the FBI investigation of the murder of a local high-school girl; Laura Palmer, in the fictional small town of Twin Peaks, WA. The show embues all of the elements of a masterful Thriller, seasoned with dashes of drama, humor, romance and an intriguing measure of the supernatural! Twin Peaks has a slow-burn pace that went against the norms of television shows of the period, which only endears you further. The show also goes against the grain in certain other themes that, without spoiling plots, were counter-culture for the time, as well. The Twin Peaks original series will draw you in, grab hold of you and won't let go! The reason I make the distinction is; this set comes with David Lynch's, sequel trilogy of Twin Peaks 'A Limited Event', continuing the story of what was probably the biggest cliffhanger in television history! (THE INCLUDED CONTINUATION SERIES) However, inasmuch as I love the original series, and I've owned it for a year or so, now, I have only been able to watch a few episodes of the continuation sequel series. It had either been way too long since David Lynch had been in the Twin Peaks universe, or the man had fallen off his rocker! The sequel series is basically unwatchable! It's disjointed, convoluted, has long, drawn-out, bizarre and confusing sequences that don't move the plot forward at all and don't seem to have any point, at all! Kyle McLaughlin's performance is great, as usual, but it's just not enough to make me want to muscle through all of the confusing elements and see it through to the end. I don't know what happened here. The sequel series echoes bizarre elements, as did the original, but none of it makes any sense this time around. As well, the sequel series is devoid of the heart and soul of the original series. Comparatively, I don't think they could be any more diametrically opposed! It's almost like a completely different person wrote the sequel series and gave nearly zero credence or connection to the original storyline. It's baffling to me that the sequel was written and directed by David Lynch as well. But I digress. FINAL THOUGHTS: The entire set I bought is reproduced in beautiful HD Bluray resolution, and is a fitting tribute to David Lynch's original story. I'm very happy with this set, and I highly recommend the companion episode David Lynch later released; "Fire Walk With Me", exploring the alter-ego life of Laura Palmer, before her murder. At some point, out of shear morbid curiosity, I'll finish watching the sequel series, but, I'll be honest. I'm not really looking forward to it.

One of my favorite shows! It is so wonderful to have the entire collection in one set!

I remember coming across re-runs of twin peaks as a kid and not having a grasp of what the show was all about. Older me took the plunge and dived into the rabbit hole and boy was I just blown away how good the show is. The characters just grew on you. The original show kept you hungry and wanting more. The whole answering a question and ending up with a ton more was hit to the T. Im a fan of watching something that scrambles the brain a bit. The icing on the cake is the showtime episodes and revisiting twin peaks and see more of the weird odd David Lynch magic. It’s weird and strange but it works on so many levels. Such a great purchase I will always cherish.

Mi serie favorita, q loco que en dvd se vea tan bien Descansa en paz genio david lynch

Girlfriend love this for a birthday gift!! She's been talking about trying to find a box set of this show for months. Show is pretty good too can't lie lmao.

Overall very happy with this product. My only issue is the writing on the discs is very hard to see. Otherwise it's very good !

TV版の、全3シ－ズンを原語で一気見出来て、よかった。 昔、レンタルビデオ屋で空きが無く、視聴に数週間掛かかったのを思い出しました。 DVDと違いUS版もリ－ジョン等を気にせず視聴出来て便利になりました。 ディスクの取り出しが面倒ですが、慣れたところです。 次シーズン(があれば)、楽しみです

A série é excelente, reconhecida. A qualidade da imagem e áudio é muito boa. A caixa poderia abrigar melhor os discos, muitos vieram soltos.
