Twin Peaks: The Television Collection [DVD]

David Lynch's TV epic Twin Peaks took the world by storm in the late 80s and early 90s. The mystery of the death of Laura Palmer captivated millions of viewers. Every week people watched to see Agent Dale Cooper try to solve the Palmer case. The first season was groundbreaking but the second season was a big misfire that ended the show prematurely. After the failure of the lone film: Firewalk with Me, the show vanished until 2017 when season 3 (The Return) hit Showtime and again hit a home run. The show is amazing and was arguably the most influential show of the 90s.So lets say you want to get the entire series in collection: is that possible? Yes, but with a caveat. This collection gives you all of Twin Peaks Season 1,2, and 3. Their are around 16 BR discs worth of content. Not only do you get the entire show but you get hours and hours of special features (everything from interviews, cast meetings, cast reunions, and entire history of the show, fan conventions,etc) making this the perfect package for both newbies to TP hardcore fans.That said there a few knocks about this whole package. First on the show side: yes season 2 is a notable drop in quality from season 1, its a slog to get through whereas seasons 1 and 3 are amazing and will keep you hooked from beginning to the end. Second: this IS NOT the complete franchise as Firewalk with Me (the prequel film) is not included. If you are going to want to see everything the movie ( and the Missing Pieces extra footage), you need to watch this too. Fear not, the movie is available via the Criterion Collection (with its own batch of goodies including the missing pieces which was another 90 minutes of film footage ), so you can get everything pretty easily on here if need be. Lastly, the packaging is sturdy but sometimes the discs are a little annoying to remove so be forewarned.Conclusion: If you always wanted to start the show, this collection is great. If you are still a longtime fan who wants to watch it all over again, you will be giddy over the extras alone. Welcome to Twin Peaks friend, you must try the cherry pie Norma makes. P.S If you meet a little man in a red suit dancing be sure to listen to him.

I remember coming across re-runs of twin peaks as a kid and not having a grasp of what the show was all about. Older me took the plunge and dived into the rabbit hole and boy was I just blown away how good the show is. The characters just grew on you. The original show kept you hungry and wanting more. The whole answering a question and ending up with a ton more was hit to the T. Im a fan of watching something that scrambles the brain a bit. The icing on the cake is the showtime episodes and revisiting twin peaks and see more of the weird odd David Lynch magic. It’s weird and strange but it works on so many levels. Such a great purchase I will always cherish.

This is a great, all-in-one set for the series.I am currently watching on a 4k bluray player which is upscaling the standard bluray to 4k onto a 70in tv. The image quality, especially in season 1 and 2, is noticeably better than how I viewed the series last year on Paramount+.With so many titles switching streaming providers or vanishing entirely, it is great to build up a physical media collection for titles you want to return to every few years.The smallest issue: The numbering of the episodes in season 1 and 2. They are a bit different from what is on streaming. So if you are trying to watch at the same pace as someone else, it is best to go by episode title.Example: Episode 1 is episodes 1 & 2 stitched together. So episode 2 is technically episode 3 on streaming.But the packaging is really great. I recently got Doom Patrol and it is similar, but the plastic which holds the discs is flimsy and comes apart (one shipment I sent back because several discs were sliding around).However, this Twin Peaks set is very secure and easy to get to the discs you need.RIP David Lynch!

An outstanding collection of one of the best television shows ever made, with some of the single worst packaging I have ever seen in a release. Up to four discs on a single hub! And they never learned either! The newer set has the same packaging! Baffling treatment for this otherwise incredible set.

I haven't watched the series yet but I have seen numerous trailers and I'm sure I will enjoy it. The series arrived in pristine condition and each DVD as far as I can see is also interesting condition.

I'm one of the few people who never saw this series, but was intrigued by a TV interview of one of the actors recently in which the host, Josh Gates, mentioned an interdimensional connection (I need a science fiction type hook to commit to purchasing and watching a series). So despite the negative reviews on the packaging, I purchased this collection. The negative reviews were accurate. The disc holders are terrible, very difficult to remove or replace discs. Viewing the first few episodes I was glad I'd made the purchase despite the bad packaging. Though now a period piece, the range of characters, locations, and plot lines makes this an addictive played-straight classic comic soap opera (I find it incredibly funny). As to the precious discs, I got them all out with difficulty and transferred them safely to a file box with individual plastic holders (purchased on Amazon: JackCubeDesign CD Case Storage Box Case DVD Organizer Holder with 50 Cases.) Each disc is well protected, super easy to take out and replace, and positioned linearly. I'd purchased this box for another blu-ray collection with the same problem and it's large enough to safely house several collections. So the solution is to take the discs out and put them in another holder system. This is a one-time pain, but well worth having the discs of this iconic series safe and readily accessible.
