IT’S ONE OF THE MOST eagerly awaited reboots in screen history. So was it worth the wait for the 21st-century update of Twin Peaks? David Lynch’s 1990 TV series—in which Detective Dale Cooper investigated the homicide of homecoming queen Laura Palmer in the town of Twin Peaks, Washington— spawned a second series, a cult following and a feature ilm (Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me). More important, it redeined television drama, paving the way for the epic cinematic TV we now take for granted on HBO, Showtime and new platforms like Netlix and Amazon Prime.
