Twin Peaks is populated with one of the most eccentric and engaging ensemble casts in TV history, with three phenomenal seasons and a prequel movie’s worth of character-building. From the moment Laura Palmer’s face is unveiled for the first time in the pilot, viewers are transported into another realm of black coffee and delicious cherry pie. The aspect of Twin Peaks that differentiates it from other crime series and makes it one of the best TV shows of all time is that it explores a world where life is fragile and meaningful, allowing each individual to stand out.
