Damn good coffee, cherry pie, and the "big bang of auteur television" --
why Twin Peaks deserves to be a pop culture classic In 1990, avant garde
filmmaker David Lynch (Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, Dune, Blue Velvet)
and acclaimed television writer Mark Frost (Hill Street Blues) teamed up
to create a television show that would redefine what the medium could
achieve in a one-hour drama. With Twin Peaks, the duo entranced
audiences with the seemingly idyllic town, its quirky characters, and a
central mystery -- who killed Laura Palmer? In a town like Twin Peaks,
nothing is as it seems, and in Wrapped in Plastic, pop culture writer
Andy Burns uncovers and explores the groundbreaking stylistic and
storytelling methods that have made the series one of the most
influential and enduring shows of the past 25 years.
