From three-time Academy Award nominee for directing, David Lynch (The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, and Mulholland Drive), and Mark Frost comes the wildly imaginative, darkly comic murder mystery-thriller series that is one of the most acclaimed events in television history, Twin Peaks...Here are all 22 episodes from the second and final season, fully remastered from the original negative, with all-new 5.1 sound.The hunt for the killer of Twin Peaks homecoming queen Laura Palmer turns ugly for Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan), who comes under investigation when he is suspended from the FBI for his unauthorized raid on the One-Eyed Jacks casino. Shot by a mysterious assailant upon returning to the Great Northern Hotel, he survives the attack...and receives some bizarre clues about Laura's murder from a giant that suddenly materializes during his recuperation. A fire at the mill leaves several residents - and possible suspects - missing. With help from Sheriff Harry S. Truman (Michael Ontkean), Cooper attempts to decipher the secrey of the Black Lodge...an undertaking that may release its sinister revelations just as the town is preparing for its festive "Miss Twin Peaks" contest. And Laura Palmer's secret diary is uncovered...containing details best read over a steaming hot cup o' joe.
"...one of the most cinematic series ever created with its own darkly funny tone that has never been duplicated." Brett Cullum, DVD Verdict
"...change[d] television forever and was the most remarkable television show since probably "The Prisoner" in the sixties." Dread Central
"...as vital as it was when it was brand new...the rare show that does not date...the picture remains fresh. It is a beautiful thing." Pam Grady, Reel.com
Editor's Note
Though it only lasted for two seasons, David Lynch's shockingly original TV drama TWIN PEAKS forever changed the face of primetime television. A bizarre, ingenious, hilarious, and terrifying murder-mystery set in the Pacific Northwest logging town of Twin Peaks, the series opened with the discovery of the body of Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee), a seemingly straitlaced high school student. Assigned to the case is FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan), a quirky man who converses regularly with Diane, his portable tape recorder. As Cooper settles into his life in Twin Peaks, he meets a revolving cast of characters who are all off-kilter in their own personal way. Gradually, the town's facade of extreme normality begins to crack mightily, revealing an endless barrage of schemes, fronts, and hidden relationships that expose Twin Peaks as the disturbed, unsettling town that it is. This collection presents all 22 episodes of the series' second and final season, which includes guest appearances by David Duchovny, Billy Zane, David Patrick Kelley, and Heather Graham.

 | Twin Peaks: The Second Season - DVD By: Patrick - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 4/9/2007 7:41 PM | | The second season of David Lynch's television masterpiece finally hits DVD. The general consensus on Twin Peaks is that the first season is one of the best in television history, and it’s straight down from there, into self indulgent directionlessness. I would disagree with that on a number of levels, for one, the first nine episodes of this season, in which the Laura Palmer murder is resolved, is just as powerful, if not more so, than the first season....read the full review |

5 of 5 A really good cup of coffee Friday, April 27, 2007
Dr. Orpheus from Tucson, AZ
In a word: FINALLY! The whole Disney (ABC) vs. VIACOM (CBS) vs. Lynch (David) fiasco that kept "Season Two" off the shelves for some four years AFTER "Season One" was released on DVD has mercifully ended. I won't bore readers with a tacky technical analysis of the finished product, because thee and me both know we would have bought this set even if Paramount had put it out on masking tape and we had to view it backlit using a candle. That minor consideration of fan psychosis aside, the discs do look and sound pretty damn good. Unlike Season One, however, this long-overdue set was produced sans the former's dts soundtrack; relying instead on a pretty crisp Dolby Digital surround mix that serves up the show's theme -- and we all know it's what put you in "that" place -- and admittedly sparse effects with authority. And, standard-def or not, Lynch's gorgeous camera work remains a slap in the celluloid face of those who subscribe to shooting everything like it was filmed under bluish fluorescent lights ("MatrixVision") or in constant shadow ("X-FilesVision"). If you're reading this review and you're unfamiliar with the series itself, please, I beg you, do NOT go rent the horrible overseas version of the "Twin Peaks" movie (a hurry-up-and-finish-it-in-case-you're-cancelled-so-ABC-can-recoup-its-money special available on VHS) or the series' actual, David Lynch directed (and just plain slick) "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me" prequel, as both will divulge *waaay* too much about a ride that should only be taken from beginning to end (and then back to the beginning, again) in measured doses. Remember, this is the television series that is STILL referenced by every up-and-coming "oddball" series seen on television. The phrase "Twin Peaksesque" exists because it actually means something to be so original that Hollywood, an industry that has had perhaps four original ideas in the past two decades, has yet to figure out the allure of not insulting its audience's intelligence.
