10 Cult TV Shows Your Friends Bang On About (But You've Not Seen Yet)

9. Twin Peaks

This one is hugely popular but loads of us won't have seen it purely because of our age. With new episodes due to air in May, now is the ideal time to catch up.

Its story follows FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper as he investigates the murder of homecoming queen Laura Palmer in the fictional town of Twin Peaks. An unusual mix of horror, camp melodrama and weirdness, Twin Peaks proved hugely popular in the early 90s and its fans still speak reverently of the show years later -€” a sure sign of a cult hit.

The new series has a good chance to succeed, bringing back Kyle MacLachlan as Dale Cooper and roping in new stars including Hollywood starlet Amanda Seyfried (and almost literally everyone and anyone else). We will have to wait and see if it lives up to the expectations of Twin Peaks fans.
