Twin Peaks Pilot Episode

After hearing a lot about Twin Peaks and how it was the first "horror drama" of its kind, I decided to watch the pilot episode. I have to say it was a very different type of drama television series than I am used to but that does not mean I did not enjoy watching it. The entire episode kept me extremely engaged and I am very eager to watch another episode surprisingly. In my opinion, what makes a successful television series is one that is suspenseful and engaging, both of which the pilot of Twin Peaks was. When I think back to the beginning of the pilot episode, I recall the long and drawn out introduction. Despite the fact that it was probably one of the longest introductions for a television series that I have seen, it certainly put me in the space that I needed to be in when it came to becoming emotionally involved with the plot and characters of this series. From the scene where Laura's mother is sobbing as she sits in her living room with the sheriff, to the scene where we can see a motorcycle in Laura's eye, this episode gave me goosebumps several different times. When I get goosebumps during a television series, I know that means it is undoubtedly an exhilarating series that I cannot wait to watch more of.
