I thought episode 4 was the strongest by far. Closest in tone to the original with the humour. Was not a fan of the multiple 10-15 minute long visually cool but otherwise nonsensical sequences from previous episodes. One of my favourite parts about Twin Peaks is it was weird but almost always relied on the characters to achieve that and avoided the dialogue light but visual heavy mind ####ery that Lynch is known for. Kind of hard to explain I guess because there was no shortage of weirdness in the original. Just how it was presented was never off putting to me and I definitely found myself getting bored with some of those long sequences in the new episodes that were hard to follow and had little to no dialogue. They just don't do much for me. I prefer when that sort of stuff was used sparingly and I thought episodes 2/3 seemed to rely on them way too much.

Having the show run until September is cool. Rare to get 18 new episodes nowadays. I read Lynch, and I presume Frost, wrote one big long script, filmed it and then just cut it into episodes.

Edit: my memory was off as I watched the episodes in quick succession. Episode 4 started with a big long mind #### sequence too. Either way, it was great.
