What should one expect from the surprise reboot of David Lynch’s legendary “Twin Peaks” (Showtime, 9 p.m.), picking up 25 years after it went off the air? No advance copies were made available for review and there have been only scant teases of what will transpire. Kyle MacLachlan will return as Agent Dale Cooper and the question of who exactly killed Laura Palmer hangs in the air.
In its time, “Twin Peaks” was both the most experimental and absorbing thing on network TV, which also went on to gain a wide audience anyway. The re-release of the original series in recent years has primed a whole new generation of fans. But at a time when surprising and artful TV is almost plentiful, can it possibly stand out? Post-series feature movies certainly weren’t satisfying — and those storylines are supposedly dismissed for this 18-hour revival. But there’s enough curiosity in it to at least check in to see what it has.
Here’s all Lynch would say about it when he met the press in January.
