David Lynch Delights and Mystifies Fans with 'Twin Peaks'
"Part 8" was the biggest mindfuck yet.
When the previous episode included an agonizing, 2-minute shot of a broom sweeping a floor, Twin Peaks fans seemed certain David Lynch’s revival of his 1990s cult classic couldn’t get any weirder.

Likened to an experimental film, a weird acid trip, and the peak of prestige television online, “Part 8” seems to have solidified the Twin Peaks return as a worthwhile pursuit in the minds of fans. After weeks of discourse, the mystery is starting to unravel — and only growing more intense.
The mindfuck that was “Part 8” premiered on Sunday, and the internet, expectedly, reacted in turn.
