In the top slot of Tiny Mix Tapes’s Favorite 20 TV Shows of 2017 — which, if you haven’t checked yet, please go now and do — Mr P masterfully bisects, dissects, vivisects, and digests the “palimpsest” that is/was Twin Peaks: The Return in a way that only he can, writing among all types of fly shit, “If the original run was in part a pseudo parody of soap operas that supposedly ‘birthed’ modern television, then The Return could be understood as a meta-commentary on modern television’s sanctification and expectations of reboot culture — including the role that Twin Peaks itself plays in this nostalgia industry.”
My humble-pie eaten reading: Twin Peaks was to Days Of Our Lives as The Return is to The Sopranos.
