I just finished A PLACE BOTH WONDERFUL AND STRANGE by @scottmeslow.bsky.social and I can't recommend it enough for Twin Peaks/David Lynch fans. I learned so much about the BTS practical and creative choices that led to the miracle of this series, in all iterations.

A very kind review of A Place Both Wonderful and Strange — and an insightful take on Twin Peaks in general — by Elizabeth Nelson in The Wall Street Journal. Read at @wsj.com:
‘A Place Both Wonderful and Strange’ Review: A Town Called Twin Peaks
David Lynch and Mark Frost’s surreal mystery series aired for only two seasons in its initial run. It proved a forerunner of a television revolution.

36 years ago tonight, Twin Peaks premiered. I'm currently reading @scottmeslow.bsky.social 's new book about the history of the show. It's so enjoyable AND I'm hearing stories/details I've never heard before, which is quite a feat (at this point) for a show so beloved and documented. Recommended!
There’s a lot going on right now but don’t lose sight of the fact that it’s April in the D

10. True to its name, @scottmeslow.bsky.social's book delivers the goods. By splitting the difference between oral history, critical analysis, and literature review, he has constructed an authoritative companion for hardcore and casual fans alike.
I finished @scottmeslow.bsky.social’s new book A PLACE BOTH WONDERFUL AND STRANGE: THE EXTRAORDINARY UNTOLD HISTORY OF TWIN PEAKS, which just came out this week. Good stuff. Lots of new behind-the-scenes tidbits throughout (including what was planned for ABC season 3)…. (1/2) #TwinPeaks
