digitallyOBSESSED Mark Zimmer
The series still holds up exceptionally well, and remains even in its slightly lesser second season one of the best things ever to air on television. |

Slant Magazine Keith Uhlich
The great moments in [the] later episodes become increasingly isolated. |

The New York Times Dennis Lim
The world of “Twin Peaks” is a truly rich and commodious one, attentive both to narrative mythology and to character back story, suited equally to the scrutiny of fanzines and dissertations. |

Under The Radar Nick Hyman
One of the most influential television shows of all time... though we still don't have the pilot or many extras. [#17, p.102] |

IGN Todd Gilchrist
Far more than "just" satisfying fans who waited to watch the rest of the show, this set will hopefully vindicate the series as one of the best ever produced. |

Orlando Sentinel Hal Boedeker
The nifty DVD revels in the weirdness. |

New York Daily News David Hinckley
The extras don't add up to much... The shows, though, are as unique, baffling and bizarre as they were in 1990-91. |

Boston Globe Tom Russo
Without the eerie whodunit that had helped make "Peaks" a phenomenon in its abbreviated debut season, the series relied more than ever on its true core: odd characters doing odder things, refracting as much as reflecting homey images of small-town life. |

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
I always felt that once the show got past the "Who killed Laura Palmer?" mystery, it faltered, but then righted itself before the final, shocking cliffhanger episode. |

Kansas City Star Derek Donovan
Robbed of their central storyline, episodes veer off into the banal and inanely bizarre.... That is a real pity, because when the show works, it’s absolutely enthralling. |

DVD Town Tyler Shainline
While the first season of "Twin Peaks" is a highlight of the artistic capabilities of the television medium, season two is an example of the depths of mediocrity most shows exist in. |
