First timer here

I’m a total Twin Peaks newb and I think I’m in love. I never thought it would be for me, but I was off work Thursday & decided to start the series. I watched seasons one eps 1-4 and I think I may be obsessed? I made a bunch of notes on characters and I can’t stop thinking about the world of this show.

It seems SO ahead of its time. Watching it, I felt like it could have come out on a streaming service today. I am just floored. I was only 15 when Twin Peaks aired and was watching 90210 back then.

I know that zero of my takes are gonna be hot takes as the fandom has had 35 years to speculate and analyze so I’ll refrain from any theorizing.

I just came here to say that the talking backwards effect is the only thing I’ve watched in YEARS that gave me such an unsettling feeling! Why is it so terrifying and uncomfortable?!? Made the hair on my arms stand up and my spine literally tingly.

Idk what my point is. I’m just kind of amazed that I am discovering something so “up my alley” that is so old. The show is simultaneously cozy, atmospheric, creepy, funny, warm-hearted, and sexy.

I think I’m going to watch the first 4 eps again before I keep going, as I’m sure I’ve missed some things and I’d like to watch more carefully.

Any others new to the show here?
