Twin Peaks - Série 1

At the beginning of the 90s, Twin Peaks was a cultural shock and the first harbinger of the rise of the phenomenon of quality TV dramas. Frost and Lynch came up with the idea of combining the widely used format of soap operas with crime drama, turning all the previous principles of serial practice upside down and proving that television production can be done differently, i.e., cleverly and innovatively. The plot was no longer important to them; the murder of the student was bait for the audience to be lured into the maze of strangely fluctuating serial characters and the maze of relationships of the inhabitants of a strange small town. The success did not rely on the story, but on the characters, with whom the authors entertainingly played. The series gradually adopted elements of sitcoms and began to ironically criticize both genres from which it originated. Lynch was lucky when it came to his collaborators. The mysteriously sounding soundtrack by Angelo Badalamenti became a huge hit and a symbol of the series. Kyle MacLachlan, with his sympathetic talents and malleable acting, had no problem identifying with the philosophy of the series and passionately delivered the famous lines to his invisible secretary, Diane. The beautiful mysterious women with unpredictable behavior added an erotic dimension to Twin Peaks. The characters constantly surprised us. Outwardly positive characters carried the seeds of evil within themselves, unexpectedly showed their dark side, and fascinated us with their corruption. The intricate storytelling with many blind alleys, which did not burden itself with explanations and presenting information on a silver platter, attracted intellectuals to the television, who had previously scorned it. The screenwriters played with the viewers, mystified them, and diverted their attention to details that had no practical importance. Twin Peaks was at the forefront of a process that changed the rules of the game in television production and introduced cinematic aesthetics to it. Its success inspired many other television projects, and traces of Twin Peaks can be found practically everywhere today. The first season suited me perfectly and it was precisely this season that led me to discover the eccentric and crazy Lynch. Overall impression: 95%. (24.07.2017)

David Lynch y Mark Frost protagonizan un juego de personajes extraños totalmente convincente y con un estilo increíble con el telón de fondo del misterioso asesinato de una chica de instituto. Lo que al principio parece un caso detectivesco ordinario de un pueblo de montaña se convierte poco a poco en un misterio nebuloso con una atmósfera tan densa que se puede cortar. Y el agente Dale Cooper de MacLachlan es uno de los personajes mejor escritos de la historia de las series, y esa Twin Peaks de excelentes personajes abarca toda la gama. (18.02.2020)
