it's a bit freaky, peaky

I didn't have the pleasure of watching Twin Peaks way back when. Oh, I may have caught an occasional glimpse, but nothing more. Husband {who claims to have seen it way back when} assured me that I wouldn't need to have seen it previously in order to find enjoyment in the new series. I think he was wrong. I think I'm going to have to watch the originals to have any idea of what's going on. And even then, I'm not sure it's quite my cup of tea. I do tend to struggle with things which don't slot neatly into my perception of reality. Take musicals as an example. In which universe do people spontaneously burst into song and dance? Um, no. It doesn't happen. Harry Potter? I can cope with Harry because I think there's some truth to it; there are some truly weird people around, which reminds me I was going to write a post about them. I love horror films, but they only scare me when they have no supernatural elements, instead relying on psychology, madness and basic instinct to create fear. And so, let's return to Twin Peaks ... Whoa! What the eff?? It's completely and utterly crazy. Bizarre accents, arms with brains, doppelgangers, violent and sudden deaths, fuzzy tellybox screens ... Madness. I'm quite sure that many of the original cast have returned, but lI couldn't tell you who. Have you seen it? Weird.
