Go to IMDB website and find the show - the series is available on several platforms.  Amazon Prime Video for one.  I hope a major network will air his works this year but those pesky commercials get in the way.

I’m a huge Twin Peaks fan. It originally aired on ABC. The music was haunting and Lynch was even terrific in his role.

In the past forty years or so, I have only found two television themes to be unnerving and perhaps spooky: Unsolved Mysteries and Twin Peaks.

For my generation of television, Twin Peaks was something very special.

🎥 Can we ever forget Twin Peaks and Blue Velvet? RIP David.

@CaliGold67   I'm not familiar with him whatsoever. I went to wiki and viewed the list of all of his work and there wasn't a single movie/show he did that I even watched.

If you ever change your mind and want to watch a Lynch film, I recommend The Elephant Man (1980).

Sterling cast and unforgettable performances (John Hurt, Anthony Hopkins, John Gielgud, Wendy Hiller and Anne Bancroft).

A bit of trivia.  The Executive Producer of the film was Anne Bancroft's husband, Mel Brooks.  He was absent from the credits because he didn't want anyone to think the film would be some zany comedy.  And, of course, it wasn't.

He gave Lynch a fabulous opportunity and Lynch always appreciated the gift he was given.  Some of the actors were skeptical (Hopkins in particular), but Brooks knew what he was doing.

Hopkins watched the film years after its release and realized Lynch's brilliance.  He sent a letter to Lynch and apologized for his resistance on the set.

Really a beautiful film.

Ah, but John Hurt will break your heart.

Can't help it.  It's one of my favorite films.
