TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN
May 28, 2017  | By David Bianculli

Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET

 

These are hours three and four of the new Twin Peaks series – the hours that Showtime has made available to watch On Demand since last Sunday at midnight. I watched them then, to write my review for last Monday’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross on NPR. And I’m still not sure what to think about them, except that despite so much use of Kyle McLachlan, the star of the original Twin Peaks back in 1990-91, they still haven’t used him very well, four hours in. We’ve seen him play a long-haired, leather-clad, evil doppelganger, and a traumatized-into-near-silence survivor from another plane of reality. But Dale Cooper, the guy who enjoys life’s mysteries and its good servings of coffee and pie? Where’s he? Because, if Twin Peaks: The Return is going to pick up speed, he’s sorely needed.
