The first two episodes are jam packed


You know a lot of people say Lynch makes everything move so slowly and there are all these weird scenes that just linger on people sitting and doing nothing, and it's true, There are a lot of scenes like that.
But in spite of all that, the 2 hour pilot was JAM PACKED with plot, and characters. So many characters, different locations, lots of plot developments, a pretty impressive body count. So even with all the weird slow scenes where nothing seems to be happening, he still tells a story (or like, 5 stories) very efficiently.

Agree. And the next two are even more jam packed!

I only got to watch them bc Showtime was free in May on DirecTV. Now I'm hooked and am struggling on whether to add the channel. NOT a fan of paying xtra for premium channels.

Try this: get the app for Android ( Amazon) or iOS (Itunes store) and you can get another free 30 day trial for watching on those devices. If you do it during the last month of the Twin peaks season, then you can catch up on all the episodes.
