The cult of Twin Peaks has been around for a long time. When the show debuted on ABC back in 1990, it stood out for being a crime show that didn’t really feel like a crime show. It felt larger than life and also communal, seemingly allergic to the heavy plot focus of other police procedurals. Sure, Special Agent Dale Cooper was collecting clues related to the case of Laura Palmer’s murder, but the show expanded into a world of characters, some of whom verged on the mystical.
