The Year's Best TV on DVD

TWIN PEAKS
DEFINITIVE EDITION
So who did kill Laura Palmer, anyway? Did the Log Lady's monologues have some secret meaning? Who cares, the mystery was always secondary to this cult show's enjoyable weirdness. David Lynch turned the Pacific Northwest into a gothic wilderness of femmes fatales and demented imagery. Watching Lynch's bizarre foray into TV land today is a 1990 time capsule, back to when Sherilyn Fenn, Mädchen Amick, Joan Chen and the other girls were smoking-hot, and television had never dared be quite this transgressive. The box set includes the previously unavailable European pilot, which solves the Palmer murder in just two hours. Don't worry, you'll be baffled.
