10 Horror TV Shows You Must Never Pause
5. The Unsettlingly Terrible Effects - Twin Peaks: The Return
Twin Peaks: The Return is one of the most unforgettable TV series of the last decade - a long-awaited follow-up to the legendary series that's as baffling as it is brilliant.
One of the series' more divisive aspects remains its visual effects, which range from utterly mesmerising - namely episode eight's stunning nuclear explosion - to absolutely hideous.
While some of Lynch's fans continue to argue that the low-poly, poorly textured effects were intentional, it's much easier to believe that Lynch simply lacked the budget to execute all of his ideas at a high level of fidelity, and decided to save the big-bucks VFX work for that pivotal nuke episode.
So many of the effects wouldn't look amiss in grotty VHS tapes and chintzy video games from literally decade ago, and while the visual ideas are certainly interesting, sometimes the results are so offputtingly garish as to make The Return a genuine eyesore.
Again, there are those who maintain that this was entirely purposeful by Lynch, to subvert our very expectations of "prestige TV" with a nauseating aesthetic, but either way you're probably better off not scrutinising them too much for fear of seeing just how rudimentary and ugly they truly are.
