10 TV Universes That Make No Sense

David Lynch is known for creating confusing and discombobulating universes in his projects, and Twin Peaks is no exception.

Back when the show was made, all the way back in 1990, Lynch had made somewhat of a name for himself in the industry. But audiences that had tuned in to the hour and a half long pilot episode were mostly just drawn in by the intriguing catchline "who killed Laura Palmer", and cannot be blamed for having no idea what they were getting into.

So it is no surprise that audiences didn't take to the show, leading to rating drops that meant an inevitable cancellation after only 2 seasons. Really there is only one thing to blame for this tragedy, and that's timing.

So, when the show had built up a substantial cult following in the 2010s, it seemed only right for the show to be brought back, with all of its Lynchian strangeness too.

Now, people are pleased as punch to tune into a show full of hyper-realness that intercuts with superbly disconcerting sequences. Happy to be drawn in by a story that offers more questions than answers in regards to the plot. Lynch has proved himself, since the pilot aired, showing that what he lacks in incoherency, he more than makes up for with stimulating visuals and brilliant mysteries.

Twin Peaks may not make any sense, but at least it's deliberate this time.
