Members Vee Posted May 20, 2017 Members Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) I don't agree with all of this Matt Zoller Seitz piece, but I think it's mostly right on, and right on about Lynch: He does not give a fúck about audience/critical expectation and this will be wild.

Members Vee Posted May 20, 2017 Members Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) Price Peterson from Yahoo reviews the new show (spoiler-free, after a few light things were scrubbed from the earlier version of the piece) - he digs it. Mashable on the premiere. Edited May 20, 2017 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted May 22, 2017 Members Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) Some of the first reviews: NYT's is decent if guarded, but waffles on calling it good enough yet.

Members DRW50 Posted May 22, 2017 Author Members Share Posted May 22, 2017 I see people in that TV Line article going on and on about some blind item it matches about a show that wouldn't be any good. Do you think that's it? I'd think Showtime is giving it a fair amount of hype for a show that they don't think is any good. It sounds to me like there's all kinds of personal baggage in the review. Seeing him talk about how he BEGGED Frost to make sure the show goes a certain way is never a good start. Maybe he would have been better off not watching. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 22, 2017 Members Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) No, Showtime is behind it. That BI is on a show on ABC - some overpriced Romeo and Juliet sequel series shot in Europe which Shonda Rhimes backed. Ausiello says he hates S2 and FWWM, so I've written him off.

Members YRBB Posted May 22, 2017 Members Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) Wow. I've only done the first two episodes so far. I'll try to hold off on the other two. At the same time, it's familiar, and yet so very different. Already two episodes in, some pieces are starting to fit together. I am really loving the evil doppelganger storyline. That song at the end of episode 2 was so beautiful and fit in so well. I nearly cried when Shelly said, "James has always been cool." What an unexpected scene to end on.

Members Vee Posted May 22, 2017 Members Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) I'm taking a few hours to read fan reactions and talk to people before doing the other two. I'll be rewatching these all week. And yeah, the bit about James was satisfying - and I think a defiant stance by Lynch/Frost to fans who pick him as an easy target. James takes a lot of abuse for Marshall's, uh, raw performance and some lousy story turns, but I liked him in FWWM and when Lynch and the show used him well. Liked him here too. I am very curious to see what's become of that lonely boy years later. I also suspect the cute Brit with him (Jake Wardle, playing Freddie Sykes) may be intended for Shelly's daughter Becky Edited May 22, 2017 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted May 22, 2017 Author Members Share Posted May 22, 2017 I thought this was a pretty good article. It also talks a lot about Lynch's more recent films. http://www.vulture.com/2017/05/twin-peaks-is-not-the-show-weve-convinced-ourselves-it-was.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
