Twin Peaks: The Return Premiere Review: 7 Ups & 4 Downs

3. Not Enough Twin Peaks

Very little of the first four episodes actually takes place in the titular town, with the action largely spread between New York City, South Dakota and Nevada, with only occasional trips back to the sleepy locale.

Of course, with The Return having another fourteen episodes to go, it's likely that Lynch is playing the long game and will hurl Coop back to Twin Peaks soon enough, but it's easy to understand fan frustration at the show's namesake getting such a short shrift so far.

Props to him for not just exploiting lazy nostalgia, but dammit if Lucy and Andy need more scenes already.
