I liked the first Season of Twin Peaks a lot. The characters were interesting. The dialogue was interesting enough for a show made in the early 90s. The cheesiness (juuuuuust youuuu and eiiiiiiiiiiii) and strangeness also meshed well together. The central focus of the plot i.e the Laura Palmer murder mystery and the supernatural elements surrounding it were all very intriguing.

My fondness carried over to much of the 2nd season as well. Leland being revealed as Killer Bob's vessel and all the episodes leading up to it were all very good.

But then the show just went into a lull with no real purpose. The episodes after Laura Palmer's mystery was solved till the finale was agonizing to get through, to say the least. The 2nd season finale however was a true revival and concluded on a cliffhanger which left me with much anticipation for Twin Peaks: the Return. The only reason I have not given up watching the show was because I wanted to watch the Return so bad.

So about The Return. I absolutely loved the first two episodes and the attention to detail on the Black Lodge. But then things fell apart very very quickly as soon as Cooper came out of the lodge.

The show is moving at a snail's pace and it is hard to watch one of the most lovable protagonists in TV history act like Tarzan just learning how to speak. It has been a George of the Jungle ****show since Cooper's arrival with episodes not doing much to raise any stakes in the plot or create any sense of urgency or purpose.

I just finished episode 6 of The Return right now and I hope someone here can convince me that the show gets significantly better.
