twin peaks theme – angelo badalamenti

I have been aggressively trying to finish Twin Peaks lately. I finished season one a while ago (I want to say last year some time). Due to time slipping by and the inevitability of our demise, I have never able to get around to finishing it. But since picking up season two again, I have been lowkey hooked. It’s been so fascinating to watch. I love the style of it. It feels like a total pastiche of television dramas of the seventies and eighties (like Dallas). But there are so many surreal and downright disturbed elements. This is more of a cursory review, so no spoilers. I think one of the elements that has so attracted me to the show is its quirks. It is so so quirky and individualized. I have never seen a show with such strong characters that are so wholesome, yet ready to take on the evil that exist within the reality of the show. I’m trying to take lessons from it as a creative. There is so much life in this world and those who inhabit it. I just really enjoy its quirks. Even if some of the story lines are a little stupid (IMO).
