1989年大卫·林奇拍了Twin Peaks: Pilot 讲述FBI探员Dale Cooper 去双峰镇调查女中学生Laura Palmer被谋杀事件以大卫·林奇的一贯作风整出片子到处充满1989年大卫·林奇拍了Twin Peaks: Pilot 讲述FBI探员Dale Cooper 去双峰镇调查女中学生Laura Palmer被谋杀事件以大卫·林奇的一贯作风整出片子到处充满了神秘事件和诡异疑点而且没有结局可言这大概引起了观众的不满或者好奇心于是电视台或是创作班底决定以这个为起点将它发展成一部连续剧出于神秘的原因David Lynch不愿担任导演而是出任执行监制找了另外的导演来拍摄这部剧集结果Twin Peaks第1集就已经是一部续集这就是为什么在第1集时的片头就有“双峰之前”交代前面的故事
大卫·林奇的《双峰》是美国90年代最为着名的电视剧之一曾荣获1990年美国电视评论协会大奖1997年美国金球奖最佳男女主角奖1991年美国艾美奖8项大奖1991年美国广播协会最佳电视剧奖而大卫·林奇也因此登上了《时代》杂志的封面
这部剧集与大卫?林奇的电影作品有很大不同之处人物众多但个性分明故事线索分支不多但剧情峰回路转许多人被Lora的死亡之迷所吸引也为侦探怪异的侦破方式着迷虽然到最后也在电视版本中也没交代谜底(虽然林奇宣称他在第二集告诉了观众凶手是谁了)但对人类欲望中产阶级的生活的剖解的相当深刻而林奇的忠实影迷也不会失望整部剧集所呈现的特异风格纠结了怪诞唯美与迷离的气氛都是大卫?林奇的经典本色其中Lora还被《Time》誉为电视史上最性感的死尸
The story begins with the murder of Laura Palmer, a teen aged girl who lived in the quiet town of Twin Peaks, near the US - Canadian borders. Everyone seems surprised and devastated by the girl's murder, and the town's sherif welcomes the help of FBI agent Dale Cooper, who comes to investigate the case. As Cooper begins his search for Laura's killer, the town's secrets are gradually exposed. This is definitely not an average quiet town, it seems as everyone has something big to hide. At nights, agent Cooper sees strange visions of Laura and other mysterious people, visions that tell him that something big is happening here, something far more evil than a single murder case..
