12 Hugely Disappointing Seasons Of Beloved TV Shows

Twin Peaks, with its artistic visuals, cinematic style, and complex storytelling, changed TV forever. The first season was stunning and so was season two... but only some of it. Season two of Twin Peaks is still good and has some completely brilliant episodes, but it also several tedious ones. It's definitely the best season of this list, yet it was undeniably very uneven.

Once the Laura Palmer story-line was resolved, the show struggled to find a new focus. It essentially became a soap opera with many subplots, many of them godawful, dragging across several episodes. David Lynch seemed to disengage from the show during this time as well and less David Lynch is always a bad thing.

Twin Peaks did essentially lose its identity during this time. The show got back on focus by the end and the finale was outstanding, but unfortunately it was too late and the show was cancelled, meaning many of the cliffhangers were never properly resolved.

A prequel/sequel movie, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, was released the next year but bombed at the box office. It's a good film, though not nearly as good as the TV show, but Twin Peaks did eventually bounce back in a brilliant manner.

2017's Twin Peaks: The Return is one of the best seasons of television ever produced and is an artistic masterpiece in every sense, so the show did at least have a bigger return to form than most TV shows could ever dream of.
