On episode 4 - Highly anticipated starting this, but now needing reassurance that it gets better

Discussion/Theory

I've read so much hype around Twin Peaks, and now that it's on Amazon Prime I quite excitedly jumped in! However, I am struggling to enjoy it. The first problem is the acting, it is beyond cheesy. I have put forth great effort to overlook this, but so much of my attention is stolen by how unbelievable and corny the acting is. Also, it is relatively unengaging. I'm not someone who's a big fan of excessive action or intense scenes, but holy jeezum, every time I have gone to watch it it acts as melatonin and lulls me straight to sleep.

I am here to ask all of you experienced watchers, do these facets become better, or less noticeable? Did anyone else find themselves struggling to engage with the plot because of these elements? I really would love to watch this through, but I feel like I'm having to force it at the moment. Anyone who has passion regarding this show please shed some light for me to help spark my interest again!
