Twin Peaks - The Second Season DVD Review:

The first season of Twin Peaks has been out of print for what seems as long as there have been questions about the second season. Finally having arrived on DVD for the first time, Twin Peaks can be watched from start to finish, assuming you already own season one. The second season of Twin Peaks is when things really start getting bizarre. Although Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) used some strange methods for attempting to find the killer of Laura Palmer, season two is when he is led by strange visions rather than incredible police work. This may have something to do with the fact that he was shot at the conclusion of season one, but trying to figure out what means what on Twin Peaks isn’t like trying to decipher Lost. Much of what happens must be accepted as the strange happenings of the town.

Season two finally reveals the killer of Laura, which was dragged on for as long as they could possibly manage, and it is even longer after that until anyone else knows who the killer is. Once these questions are answered, the show is free to go in other directions, but there aren’t many places left and instead the show just focuses on the strange assortment of characters and what they are already involved in for the remainder of the season and the show.

Season two is also the season of dysfunctional relationships. No relationship seems entirely safe in the town. Lucy and Andy have all sorts of problems, although it is more obnoxious and goofy than interesting. Whether or not Lucy and Andy end up together is hardly what the show relies on as far as suspense is concerned. Season two has much more of the goofy elements like this, especially since Leo is basically a vegetable and characters revert back to their teens after attempted suicides.

All twenty-nine episodes of season two are on six discs, fit into three slim-cases, making a remarkably compact package for the amount of material. Unfortunately the special features are not all that amazing, with only the slightly obnoxious log lady introductions to the episodes and various interviews, the long awaited second season is slightly barer than fans may be hoping for. The menus have also changed, but not necessarily for the better. They simply look thrown together without much care or attention.
