Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery [Blu-ray]

Have been waiting for this release pretty much for most of my adult years. TWIN PEAKS has to be the first series that created a worldwide fascination, some 20+ years ago, in a time when following a TV series was not a global trend as it now is. A show that ran for 2 seasons until it was cancelled, it has maintained a legendary status among viewers of that era as well contemporary ones, making this release the most highly anticipated event in recent years. Whereas previous VHS/DVD releases offered the episodes which aired back in 1990-1992, along with extra features and various commentary, this new blu-ray box set is the most comprehensive yet, featuring all 29 full episodes, 2 versions of the pilot episode, and most of the extras from previous releases. More importantly, it includes the feature film which served as both a prequel and an epilogue to the series, "Fire walk with me", plus 90 minutes of deleted or never-seen-before scenes, all fully scanned and remastered from the original negatives. The diligence exhibited in pretty much all aspects of the box is impressive. It surely helped the fact that the show was shot on film, and so these films were used in order to create HD masters. Still, it must have taken incredible effort and expense in order to upgrade the material to HD quality and DTS sound. The sharpness is striking, and the amount of details that can be noticed is tremendous, even on the deleted scenes which are fully finished with flawless picture and crystal sound. This greater depth is impressive, almost giving the feeling of watching the show anew. On initial copies of the box set, on some occasions the sound appeared to be slightly out of sync (most notably on some deleted scenes), which was admittedly distracting. Although at first it was not clear whether this was a matter of a faulty batch, buyers of the set complained heavily, and so a new pressing put this issue to rest. This niggle stopped many from giving this a full-star rating, along with the absence of extras from the first 2 seasons previously available on DVD (apparently, Artisan Entertainment did not want to license them for this new box set). The packaging is impressive but, although the set is magnificent to look at, placing the discs in horrible cardboard slip-in cases is a letdown - they may be practical and easy to access, but for a box set as highly anticipated as this, come as a disappointment. On the plus side, there are some surprises inside the box, which I am not going to spoil, just a quick mention! Finally, no booklet listing the features is included. One has to actually play the discs in order to read their contents; frustrating. Except for these couple of missteps, it is still a special occasion indeed for anyone to feast. Not often do we have the opportunity of enjoying 27 hours of a favourite show, trailers, numerous interviews and discussions, insightful commentary, making-ofs, image galleries, all nicely packaged in an elegant box. A truly exemplary effort, and a must-have for any devotee, TWIN PEAKS: The entire mystery and the missing pieces is the definitive TP collection of one of the most innovative, engrossing and groundbreaking series in the history of international television.

There have been so many people treating this section as a message board instead of reviews it's absurd. I have the set and have been watching it, so this is an actual REVIEW. PACKAGING The packaging is nicely done and good quality. However I prefer practical packaging and it takes a little effort to flip through and access the discs. There isn't a booklet listing all of the disc contents, which is a bit frustrating as you have to insert a disc to see which special features it contains. This is nitpicking because it looks very good and there is a neat little surprise after you flip through all of the discs. HD UPGRADE QUALITY All episodes of the TV show, including both versions of the pilot, have been meticulously scanned and remastered from the original negatives. People seem to forget that this show was finished in 1990 TV resolution. Thankfully it was shot on film and those film negatives could be used to create HD masters. It took considerable work and expense to upgrade these episodes to HD quality and DTS sound. While the Gold Box versions looked great, these transfers are much better, with 3 times the sharpness and more accurate and striking color. I am watching on a 100" screen and seeing textures and details I never noticed on the DVD. There is a much greater depth which pulls you even deeper into the world of Twin Peaks. Twin Peaks was the first show to be shot in a cinematic style, and it pays off big time on blu-ray. The shows are presented in their original 4x3 aspect ratio. I have noticed some shots in the first few episodes which were clearly not upgraded to HD, probably because they were part of a special effect. For example, when Laura's mom imagines Donna's face turning into Laura. They were brief moments and didn't detract much from the overall amazing presentation. However in the first episode of season two there is a long montage of superimposed shots while Cooper describes the details of Laura's murder. The whole sequence is noticeably not in HD and it stands out. It is quite distracting and a shame because it is such a crucial and visual scene. I can only guess the producers were unable to locate the original negative for those scenes. The sound is remixed and remastered in DTS-MA and is amazingly full ranged and detailed considering it was originally created for a 24 year old TV show. The music in particular sounds fantastic. Fire Walk With Me has not been previously available in HD in the US. The new transfer was scanned from the camera negative in 4k resolution and looks great. It has a very organic, natural film look with great depth and color. Sound is also DTS-MA and is excellent. I have a much greater appreciation for the film after watching it again in HD. There are still moments I don't like, but overall it is brilliant. The extras have all been upgraded to HD where possible and look great. Even the murky old Log Lady introductions (which is how the entire show looked back then) show a big improvement. I was thrilled to see that the recaps and previews for each episode have been included in HD. There are also some ABC promos. That really takes me back to watching it on ABC so many years ago. THE MISSING PIECES This is the biggest selling point of the set and for good reason. When Fire Walk with Me was released in 1992, many fans (myself included) were sorely disappointed when many favorite characters were not seen in the film. This frustration only increased when it was discovered that many of them were in fact filmed, but cut from the movie. Over the years these deleted scenes have become legendary, with entire websites devoted to drafts of scripts and rare photos from these scenes. In the era of DVD extra features, fans petitioned to get the deleted scenes released. However, there was a tangle of legal rights which prevented this from happening. Complicating matters was the fact that David Lynch refused to include the scenes in their rough, unfinished state. It would take considerable funding to complete them to Lynch's specifications. After years of trying, it was finally announced that negotiations were at a standstill and the scenes would not be released. That is why they have never been included before. I don't know exactly how it happened, but somehow the parties involved finally came to an agreement and funding was provided to allow Lynch to finally finish the scenes. Fans who have followed this saga for 22 years know how amazingly lucky we are to finally have 90 minutes of this legendary footage in full HD quality and DTS sound. Lynch presents the Missing Pieces as it's own movie type experience and they play as a series of vaguely connected vignettes. It doesn't make much sense if you haven't seen FWWM recently, so a fresh viewing first might be a good idea. And how are the scenes after all of these years? Do they live up to the hype? The answer is a definite YES. There is some amazing stuff here which Twin Peaks fans will love. There are both small character moments and big mind blowing moments. And about 5 minutes which take place AFTER the Season Two finale. You will find out what happens to Annie and get a further glimpse into what might have been with the evil Cooper if there was a season three. It's great stuff and I am still kind of amazed we are finally getting to see it. And in such great quality. I have not encountered audio sync issues as some have reported. EXTRAS In addition to the Missing Pieces, there are several new extras created for this set. I haven't watched them all yet, but I did watch Between Two Worlds, which has 2 parts. The first is a haunting and surreal conversation with the Palmer family and David Lynch. This is followed by a more casual conversation with the actors who portrayed them. Very entertaining and very Lynchian. The Atmospherics are trippy short music videos, each with a Twin Peaks theme and footage from the episodes and movie. There are several previously unreleased deleted scenes and outtakes from the show on Disc Four. There are 2 features on the making of FWWM, which I haven't watched yet. Most of the other extras from the Gold Box are included, some in extended form. They are scattered throughout the discs. There are a few extras included from the Artisan season one set. As for the extras not on this set, Artisan owns the season one commentaries and didn't license them, so blame Aristan. And the SNL skits and coffee commercials are owned by someone else who also didn't want to license them. I would love to have them all on one set, but that's the way it goes. At least we still have them on the DVD sets. CONCLUSION It is hard to emphasize just how much impact Twin Peaks had on television. It had a short run but its influence is felt to this day. Shows from X-Files to Lost and beyond simply would not have existed without Twin Peaks blazing the trail. The show today still seems fresh and innovative, even though it has spawned 24 years of imitators. If any show deserves the deluxe blu-ray treatment, it is Twin Peaks. So is the set worth the high price tag so many people have been complaining about? Absolutely. The set includes 2 versions of the pilot, 29 hour long episodes and FWWM all newly remastered in HD. Plus you get the 90 minute Missing Pieces newly directed and edited by David Lynch himself in HD, hours of newly produced behind the scenes content and most of the previous extras remastered in HD (some in extended versions). This is far more content than similarly priced HD single season sets (Star Trek and I Love Lucy come to mind). And Twin Peaks is a cult show with a much smaller audience. So the price is more than fair and completely in line with other releases. They could easily have released Season One, Two and FWWM as separate releases which would have cost far more to purchase individually. This set is a dream release for Twin Peaks fans. We never thought we would see the deleted scenes from FWWM, much less finished in beautiful HD quality by Lynch himself. After all those years of watching low quality VHS tapes in the 90s, who would have thought we would get the entire show remastered in HD? If price is a concern, I am sure Amazon will drop the price sometime in the near future. But it is well worth every penny they are charging now.

I am thrilled to have this set! I remember watching Twin Peaks when it originally aired and feeling cheated when the third season was cancelled. It had a quirky yet dark quality that drew me in instantly, and even thought it seemed to lose its way during the second season, there was always something in each episode that resonated with me and kept me coming back for more. The music was achingly beautiful, the characters unique, and the story line intriguing. I fell in love with Cooper and the entire Sheriff's team, not to mention Big Ed and Norma. I laughed, cried, sighed, and pondered my way happily through the pilot, both seasons,and the FWWM movie. I am truly giddy over a chance to re-watch it all! While I do wish it had been offered on DVD (for those fans who do not have a Blue Ray player) and I am sincerely sympathetic to everyone who already bought the Gold Box Set (thinking the collection was as complete as it ever would be), I am basing my five star review solely on the beauty and content of this set. Both movies and all the episodes have exquisite picture and sound, and I am thrilled to have 90 minutes of extra FWWM footage. Plus, each disk has its own mix of special features, including Log Lady Introductions. My one complaint is that there was no content booklet added. Below I have copy pasted a detailed list of what is on each disk (this list was originally posted by another reviewer; I do not remember their name). I am reprinting it because it is such a great way to show you what you get with this set.

"TWIN PEAKS: THE ENTIRE MYSTERY" Review The transfers are superb. The audio is excellent. This set is chock full of worthwhile special features. The most exciting of these special features is of course many of the deleted scenes from "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me". They were very nice to see. There are numerous interviews with cast and crew, along with "Between Two Worlds", a wonderful new featurette of David Lynch interviewing Ray Wise, Grace Zabrisikie, and Sheryl Lee as the characters they portrayed. I was delightfully surprised to find that the entire Twin Peak trading-card set had been included on disk 5. Everything is here from both versions of the pilot to the prequel film, along with the intervening 29 complete episodes. The set also includes Log Lady introductions to each episode, recaps, and previews (standard NTSC definition rather than HD), which can be set to run with the episodes. Additionally, lots of things like commercial bumpers, advertisements, and messages from the old 1-900 number have been preserved here as well. My complaints are slight. In episode 9 (I think), Maddy sees the carpet in the living room disturbed. In the Asian version (Japanese), she sees Bob's face in the carpet. The Asian alteration was not included anywhere in the set. While it is great to see so many missing scenes of "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me", they must be watched separately from the film. Fortunately, they are included on the same disk as the full feature film. It still behooves David Lynch to render a final cut of "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me". The entire film needs to be stitched together in its full four or more hours of glory in the way that David Lynch originally intended. Having read the script years ago, I am aware that as envisioned, the bulk of the film was mean to give a day-by-day account of the last week of Laura Palmer's life, including screen titles for transitions to each day. That narrative was interrupted in the process of editing the film down to 1990s maximum theater-length tolerance of two hours and fifteen minutes. Here we are, just a hair over Cooper's vision of twenty-five years later, and there is just a little more work left to be done in order to fully set the matter straight in the form of a truly final and proper version of the prequel film. I would gladly drop another thirty bucks for that. The set appears to contain Easter Eggs only on disks 1 and 10. Disk 1 contains hidden snippets of cast interviews, most of which are not very interesting. Disk 10 contains only two Easter Eggs, both of which are quite interesting. "The Bet" is most especially memorable. The sound has been remixed, allowing the listener to hear in original stereo English or 7.1 DTS surround. Surround effects are very mild. Additional soundtracks in various languages are available. Even more languages are available as subtitles. Egregiously missing for me are Korean subtitles, which is especially sad because the subtitles do exist, being that "Twin Peaks" was broadcast in Korea, and I have the Korean DVD edition of "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me". One of the most ridiculous and profoundly stupid oversights of the entire Blu-ray endeavor was in failing to enable Blu-ray players with web capacity to expand available subtitles. Aside from basic and profound stupidity, there is no actual reason that Blu-rays could not have simply added additional subtitle options long after the fact of publishing. Subtitle files are TINY! These disks are region free. Hence, a set purchased in any region should operate perfectly in any other region, occasionally prompting fans to purchase from Europe, being that European prices for this set seem to be considerably cheaper than US prices, though I personally got burned in attempting to do this and wound up ordering from amazon.com at a price of $120 plus international shipping. No running commentaries are included in the set. A rather irritating feature comes with loading each disk. First, one must suffer through a brief CBS animated logo. Then, one is given a language menu. This is followed by an utterly hideous and nearly intolerable DTS demonstration, which plays MUCH, MUCH more loudly than ANYTHING contained on the rest of the disks. This cannot be skipped. Finally, before getting to the menu, one must suffer through the standard ridiculous corporate disclaimer regarding opinions expressed. Only after all of the above ordeals have been endured is the consumer free to peruse the contents of each disk. I used to have a DVD player which would crack all of the DVD coding and shoot directly into playing the main feature when a disk was inserted, skipping all of the preliminary junk, regardless of format or encoding (playing PAL as easily as NTSC). I wish that I could find such a Blu-ray player. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5Wh0hs_AU8&list=UUcNTDs7hk2Fgr-Q2q4Wf5FQ

I bought my copy from Deep Discount Entertainment for a few cents less than what Amazon wanted. It arrived well packaged, all in one piece, and only took a week to show up in my mailbox. I have had no issues with the BluRay so far and I've watched every disc. Now for my spoiler free, already been said by a thousand other people, review. This is a fantastic set. I couldn't imagine trying to watch this show with commercials when it was originally airing, nor can I fathom how it was on ABC! Twin Peaks is a show unlike any other. It has elements of horror, comedy, melodramatic romance, paranormal happenings, all rolled into one incredible soap opera-esque program. I love soap operas so I was fully immersed in everything going on. Okay that's a lie, I couldn't have cared less about Evelyn Marsh or the character played by Billy Zane. Lana was annoying. I also laughed at James a lot, like I could never take the guy seriously but I can't imagine Twin Peaks without him (except for the last few episodes anyway). Agent Dale Cooper played by the delightful Kyle MacLachlan, enters the town of Twin Peaks to investigate the murder of beloved high school student Laura Palmer. Laura had secrets, very dark secrets. Twin Peaks is a weird town. Dale Cooper is a wonderfully weird guy so he fits right in. Dale quickly became one of my favorite TV characters ever and he turns out to be the least weird of all the Special Agents we meet. I never really knew what was going to happen next and I probably laughed several times throughout almost every episode. Somethings are genuinely funny, like almost everything involving Nadine. Other things are so bizarre and out there that all I could do was laugh and say "What the hell just happened?" (Like the fate of Josie, or Leland at his daughter's funeral). Some argue the show lost it's way in season 2 but I enjoyed it. Fire Walk With Me is a prequel but you must watch all of Twin Peaks or else FWWM will make even less sense. FWWM is mostly about the final days of Laura Palmer. The story focuses heavily on Laura's terrifying reality. Characters from Twin Peaks appear, including Laura, Leland, James, Bobby, Shelly, Leo, a recast Donna, and a few others. Cooper, Albert, and Gordon appear briefly. I wasn't super crazy about FWWM but I enjoyed seeing more of Ray Wise (he is an underrated treasure but I feel that way about most of the cast of Twin Peaks). The Agent Cooper scenes were my favorites. I felt worse for Laura after watching the movie, you see things from her perspective and you realize she never had a chance. No wonder the poor girl was partying and doing drugs. James really tried to help her (he comes off better here than in the series) but there was nothing he could have done. Edit: FWWM is very vital in regards to the new series, a must watch before you begin season 3. The Missing Pieces are scenes cut from FWWM. Many other Twin Peaks residents appear in these scenes. One of the most compelling scenes cut is the very last one. It picks up right from the end of the final episode and we get a few minutes of what would have happened next. I found it fascinating. There are many other special features scattered throughout the set, I have not had time to explore them all. I highly reccommend this set if you want to buy the series. Though it has another disc of extras, the 10 disc set is way more expensive. The DVD set does not include Fire Walk With Me and it would cost more to buy the series on DVD and the FWWM DVD than this BluRay. Twin Peaks may not be for everyone but if you have a strange sense of humor and you're open to watching something that manages to be as fun as it is disturbing, you may appreciate the world Lynch and Frost have created.

Obviously Twin Peaks is not for everyone (but it should be), so I'm not going to tell you you need to purchase this if you've never watched the show before. Its available on almost every streaming service, so you should definitely sample first before purchasing home media. It is Region Free so it should work on MOST Blu-ray players (try another region free Blu-ray on your player to make sure its good to play them). For fans of the show, this is a great collection as it adds the difficult to obtain film "Fire Walk With Me" and the even harder to obtain "Missing Pieces" cut from "Fire Walk With Me". The picture and audio quality is exceptional for all of it, especially the original series. The special features are not all that amazing but there is some really unique stuff. Original Series: Obviously this will forever be the highlight of the entire Twin Peaks franchise. The groundbreaking show that started it all looks and sounds amazing on these blu-rays. Its also fun to go back and watch the original "TV film" they made from the Pilot, in case the show didn't get picked up. Fire Walk With Me: One of those David Lynch works that is more fascinating than exceptional. It adds more questions than answers into the franchise (very Lynchian) but examines and uncovers Lynch's themes and views through scenes which expand on original series, without really driving it forward. It is critical for the understanding of the new Showtime Series, and is similarly dark and graphic. The Missing Pieces: To those who enjoy the quirky small town feel of the original series, as opposed to its dark metaphysical underbelly, the Missing Pieces is almost a superior film to "Fire Walk With Me". Composing almost an entire feature film's worth of deleted content, The Missing Pieces is enlightening, and a little refreshing after the total downer which is "Fire Walk With Me." Honestly, I purchased this because I already had a box set of the Showtime Series, and I needed to fill in all the other content. If you're really into "Peaks" and want it in its best quality and entirety up to the modern day, you could also get the Twin Peaks Z to A Blu-ray box set.

I am a huge Lynch fan who is somewhat ambivalent about Twin Peaks. It's a good (but not great) TV show that crumbled into an unwatchable mess in Season 2 (even before the murder was "solved" but especially after). The best things about Twin Peaks are the "prequel" film Fire Walk With Me and the new series currently airing on Showtime called Twin Peaks: The Return. These two projects strain out the campy/soap-opera aspects of the TV show and delve into pure dark Lynch-ian weirdness, which is perhaps unsurprising since these projects were helmed solely by Lynch and co-written with either Frost or Robert Engles, as opposed to being generated in a network TV writers' room (also, oddly enough, for a TV series so closely associated with him, Lynch is only credited as director for 6 of the original 30 episodes). But while I am not hugely taken by the original series as a whole (which I first watched AFTER seeing FWWM in the theater), this Blu Ray collection is very well done and a very good value. The original box set has better packaging and has a disc of extras related to the Fire Walk With Me film, but I don't these absences are all that vital, especially since the "Missing Pieces" extra is still on the FWWM disc. The series is presented in "likely as good as it can look" HD, but the viewer must keep in mind that it was filmed by the standards of 1990 network TV and lacks the high-end production values associated with Lynch's work. Those who watch the new series on Showtime will likely be astonished at how beautiful the new series looks compared to the original. There are many fine extras sprinkled throughout the 8 series discs, including a very funny relatively recent conversation between Lynch, Kyle Maclachlan and Madchen Amick (who Lynch is clearly, and charmingly, taken with). The primary reason to purchase this box set, however, is the inclusion of Fire Walk With Me and a 90 minute extra called "Fire Walk With Me: The Missing Pieces." I would pay $45 for these alone. The film itself is an absolute masterwork wherein Lynch gets as close to the free-associative vibe of Eraserhead as he ever has, but while also telling a complex and deeply moving story of mangled virtue in a doomed battle against pure evil. Sheryl Lee gives the performance of a lifetime as the fallen coke-addled angel Laura Palmer, channeling the neurotic, broken rage of a sexual abuse victim as she confronts the existential limits of human experience. Lynch has never been so weirdly inventive AND emotionally sincere in the same context, or at least not until he made Mulholland Dr., and this masterwork still holds up as one of the best American films of the 90's. So I would say it's definitely worth your time and money! Also worthy of those two commodities is the "Missing Pieces" extra, an unusually effective compilation of unused scenes from the film. Unlike most such "deleted scenes," these castaways serve in many ways to deepen the Twin Peaks mythos and set up the new series (in so far as it needs setting up). The mysterious Convenience Store, "the Woodman," and the time traveling torments of Agent Jefferies are all introduced in these extraordinary deleted sequences, and all come to bear in the new series. Yes, there are a couple lame moments with Big Ed and Norma sprinkled in as well, but for the most part the extras are pure gold for the Lynch obsessive. Anyway, if someone out there is watching the new series and wants to dig into the original, I would say that this Blu Ray box is great way to do it, especially since it's about the same price as getting the episodes on streaming. Watch the first 15 episodes of the original series, skip to the final episode, then watch Fire Walk With Me and the Missing Pieces. It likely won't ALL feel as mindblowingly perfect as the "pure heroin Lynch" new series, but it's still quite good (and, as I said before, FWWM is utterly amazing). If you enjoy the old series and get mad watching the new one because there isn't enough talk about cherry pie and Audrey hasn't shown up yet, let's agree to disagree and please don't down-vote my review. I sincerely hope this was helpful to someone.

This is a Great set if you're looking to get into twin peaks on a budget, (No 'Season 3' , more details below) I ordered this UK import set for around $33, from Amazon Global Store UK, and it's arguably better than the The (current) 9-disc USA version that cost over twice the price! This version has all 10 disc, and all the bonus features, and the Video quality is NOTICEABLY better than what I watched on paramount+. (More detail, but also noticeably more grainy! Sure, the discs look a bit weird, with the Age rating stickers, and low quality print job, but they're official, and region free! I just booted them up in my PlayStation and they ran fine! This includes the entire original video series, Season 1, Season 2, "The Movie" (Walk Fire With Me), 'The missing pieces' extra scenes, and tons of bonus features. The newest series often called "Season 3" is not included, as it was released after this set was made, But you could get it by ordering "Twin Peaks: A Limited Event Series". I'd argue, importing this set, is a better deal than "Twin Peaks: The Television Collection" Since "Television Collection" set DOESN'T contain the movie or "the missing peaces", You'd be missing part of the story. The movie (walk fire with me) can be found on DVD cheap, but the "the missing peaces" can only be found here, or on the criterion collection dvd/bluray. (~25-$30) So this Set, "The Entire Mystery" + "A Limited Event Series" is the most cost-effective way to get the whole series on disc!

Et il auras fallu attendre 24 ans avant d'avoir le mystère complet, 25ans dans le monde de la série néanmoins. Et le moins qu'on puisse dire avec cette édition c'est que Lynch et son équipe n'ont pas fait les choses à moitié. Une restauration d'image des plus réussie tant pour la série que pour le film (mais était ce vraiment nécessaire ? Twin Peaks n'avait pas plus de charme avec son grain prédominant ? Ces couleurs baveuses ? Oui ça faisait partie de ses nombreux charmes mais ne mettons pas à la poubelle ce bel effort éditorial, car là nous avons vraiment l'impression d'être devant une œuvre cinématographique tout le long grâce au piquet d'image. Je ne développerais pas plus sur l'aspect technique je ne suis pas un professionnel) et de même sur la bande sonore présentée en 7.1 pour la VO (JE NE PARLERAIS PAS DE LA VF CAR PARLER DE VF POUR TWIN PEAKS REVIENT A DIRE QUE SHAKESPEARE TROUVE SA SEULE VALEUR EN TRADUCTION CHEZ LIBRIO) et pour les nostalgique de la VF elle est néanmoins disponible en 1.0. Ensuite parlons Bonus,: une montagne d'archives inédites et tout ce qui est disponible sur Twin Peaks en documentaire officiel est dans le coffret. Notons la présence des fameuses scènes coupées de FWMM et d'inédites de la série et le court métrage "Between two World" avec une première partie sympathique sur ce qui est arrivé à la famille Palmer depuis la fin de la série (on peut regretter le fait que ces dialogues puissent paraitre sans intérêt car oui ils le sont, malgré le plaisirs de retrouver les personnages on n'apprend pas grand chose de nouveau, en réalité cela ne rajoute rien à la série ! Mais ne boudons pas notre plaisirs, les acteurs sont en forme ! Et ce fut un plaisirs de les revoir !). Je ne parlerais pas des scènes coupées et alternatives car je ne les ais pas encore vues, et en plus ça serait dommage de gâcher la surprise (une seule chose néanmoins une se nomme "Diane and Cooper" voilà j'espère avoir aiguisé votre curiosité :D ). Maintenant sur la série elle même, elle est parfaite, rien à dire, tout est bon (même la deuxième partie de la saison 2 trouve grâce à mes yeux ! Et oui les fans sont peu objectifs). Et le film est de mon point de vue cauchemardesque, beaucoup disent (des fans) que c'est mauvais, mais je ne suis pas d'accord, pour moi le film a bel et bien sa place dans l'univers Twin Peaks, il est ce que Frost et Lynch n'ont pas pu montrer à la télévision, c'est à dire l'horreur de ********* et des pratiques *********** (Et oui je ne peux pas dire sans spoiler) mais il faut voir le film après la série ! Et dans le meilleur des cas enchainer ensuite sur le pilote (peut être la version internationale aussi présente dans ce coffret monstre !) Seul point négatif le packaging est très jolie mais il ne me semble pas très résistant. Mais ne boudons rien surtout après le désastre de l'édition DVD de TF1 Par contre je ne sais pas, pour les possesseurs du DVD si l'achat est indispensable. Car le prix est quand même élevé même si nous en avons pour notre argent. Mais si j'avais eu le DVD je doutes que j'aurais acheté le blu ray ensuite. Pour conclure : Les hiboux ne sont pas ce qu'il semble

ツイン・ピークス。若い頃にはまって、大人になっても見たくて、買ってしまいました。おもしろい！

Una maravilla, caja en perfecto estado, tal cual a la imagen, con textura, los discos perfectamente divididos por las fotografías de la serie, en múltiples idiomas incluyendo el español

Esta opinión es sobre el producto rotulado como: "Twin Peaks - 2016 Downspec (10 Blu-Ray) [Edizione: Regno Unito] [Reino Unido] [Blu-ray]". Lo digo porque hay varios formatos con las opiniones comunes, y de este modo queda claro cuál es el que yo adquirí y sobre el que voy a opinar. En primer lugar, hay que decir que, aunque no lo pone por ninguna parte en el anuncio de Amazon, esta edición también viene en castellano, tanto doblada como con subtítulos, y me refiero a todos los materiales que contiene. Por supuesto, también viene en inglés y en unos cuantos idiomas más. Y, sin embargo, es sensiblemente más barata que la edición española, que, cuando yo la compré, costaba casi el doble que esta. Además de la serie completa (primera y segunda temporadas), repartida entre los discos 1 al 8, también vienen las dos películas, "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me" (1992) y Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces" (2014), ambas firmadas por David Lynch, en los discos 9 y 10, respectivamente. La edición se complementa con otros contenidos adicionales. La calidad de la imagen y la del sonido son las que uno se espera de un blu-ray, es decir, magníficas. Parece ser que se han tomado el trabajo de digitalizar los originales para dar una edición de alta calidad como esta, y eso siempre se agradece. La presentación es más que aceptable. Se trata de una caja de cartón dentro de la cual se aloja otra caja de plástico, de las tipicas de blu-ray, aunque más gruesa, que reproduce la misma carátula que la caja de cartón, y en la que vienen distribuidos los diez discos que componen la colección. Esta estupenda presentación hacen que la serie pueda adquirirse para hacer un regalo sin mayor problema. En resumidas cuentas, por el precio que yo pagué (29,25 euros), no dudo en recomendarla, casi como imprescindible, para seguidores de la serie y para aficionados a la obra de Lynch. Por lo menos a mí me ha parecido que se merecía un lugar en mi videoteca, y de honor, además.

Let's be honest with each other, this show is far to weird and niche for someone to randomly stumble into this amazon listing, leaving two possibilities: You already love Twin Peaks, Or you're interested about getting into it. Fortunately, the answer both of those groups are waiting to hear is just 'buy it already'. Just hit the button, there really isn't anything else that's like it and it's a fantastic watch. Only disappointment is that the follow-up series isn't included, but you can't have your cake and eat it, eh?
