20 TV Episodes That Are Totally Flawless
1. Part 8 - Twin Peaks: The Return
How does one even begin to describe Part 8 of Twin Peaks: The Return?
By nature indescribable, the episode is pure Lynchian madness, filmed in stirring black-and-white with minimal dialogue and scenes composed of surreal allusions to 50s America and almost indecipherable symbols and metaphors which would, in time, hold very important significance over the rest of the series.
Gorgeous and hideous, gloomy and terrifying, Part 8 is David Lynch uncaged, refusing to play by the typical rules of the small screen and refusing to give much - if anything - away without making the audience squirm.
From the birth of the atomic bomb to the captivating introduction of The Fireman, the episode moves between space, time, genre and tone without fault, weaving together an epic collection of unforgettable images and unmissable experimentation.
Perhaps the most daring and extraordinary episode of TV ever filmed, Part 8 is not one to miss.
