The rest of season 2 of Twin Peaks is much weaker than the earlier bits, but I always found it to have a certain trashy charm to it. It becomes a cheesy mystery soap opera, if you can imagine such a thing, and if junky television doesn't offend you it's definitely worth seeing. And of course, the final episode is perhaps the best episode in the entire original series, so if you don't have an affinity for the trashy stuff that comes before it, it's maddening because it does reference the rest of the season and concludes a lot of the plot stuff that was set up earlier.

For my money, the Twin Peaks film (which is a prequel) is a milestone in David Lynch's work. Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive, and Inland Empire are greatly indebted to that film, and it's more at peace with them than it is with the original show or Lynch's other earlier work. But it does understandably clash with the original show in certain aesthetic ways. Don't think of it as a 2 hour long episode of Twin Peaks, but as a film That is part of the larger Twin Peaks media universe.

The Return is utterly astounding, and you should definitely watch it. There isn't anything else quite like it on television.
