Twin Peaks: Then And Now

Pour a cup of your strongest coffee, it’s time to take the case. Twin Peaks welcomed FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper into town on Feb. 24, and TV was never the same. The cult TV show, which debuted in 1990, followed the quirky lawman (Kyle MacLachlan) and the local Sheriff Harry S. Truman (Michael Ontkean) as they investigated the mysterious murder of homecoming queen Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). Taking place in the fictional town of Twin Peaks, Washington, the David Lynch/Mark Frost series was part detective fiction, part supernatural, and all-around entertaining with its campy, melodramatic portrayal of eccentric characters – think soap opera meets horror movie vibes.

Far from your typical show, Twin Peaks offered up surrealism, offbeat humor, and some seriously distinctive cinematography. And don’t even get me started on the score, which was composed by the amazing Angelo Badalamenti, with director David adding his own creative touch.

So, get ready for a wild ride as you delve into the enigmatic world of Twin Peaks with our photo gallery here.

One of Lara Flynn Boyle’s earliest roles was as Donna Hayward on Twin Peaks. She played the heartbroken best friend of Laura Palmer, and her crying scenes are one of the show’s most meme-worthy moments.

Harry Goaz played the lovably bumbling Detective Andy Brennan on Twin Peaks. While he offered up tons of comic relief, it wasn’t rare for him to stumble upon a clue either.
