New “Twin Peaks” Trailer is Damn Fine

Showtime just released a new trailer for its continuation of the David Lynch-Mark Frost television series, “Twin Peaks.” Groundbreaking for its unique characters and (often horrific) storylines set in a small logging town in the Pacific Northwest, the ‘90s pop-culture phenomenon advanced TV to a cinematic level. The actress Madchen Amick (now on “Riverdale”), who played/plays the waitress, Shelly Johnson on the series, recently commented for “Entertainment Weekly” that the show “…slowed the pace down, literally slowed television’s pace down.” The trailer scrolls clever copy, in the show’s signature brown and green font, over an ominous rumble in the background, to highlight the series’ legacy as one of the most original, culturally significant works of the last thirty years. The trailer’s closing scene has a spine-tingling tone, one of the many things for which the show was renowned.
