1989年，大衛(wèi)·林奇拍了Twin Peaks: Pilot ，講述FBI探員Dale Cooper 去雙峰鎮(zhèn)，調(diào)查女中學生Laura Palmer被謀殺事件。以大衛(wèi)·林奇的一貫作南山，整出片子到充滿了神秘事件和詭異疑點，且沒有結(jié)局可言。這大概引起觀眾的不滿，或者好奇心。于，電視臺或是創(chuàng)作班底決定以個為起點，將它發(fā)展成一部連劇。出于神秘的原因，David Lynch不愿擔任導演，而是出任執(zhí)行監(jiān)制，找了另外導演來拍攝這部劇集。結(jié)果Twin Peaks第1集就已經(jīng)是一部續(xù)集，這就是為什么在1集時的片頭就有“雙峰之前”，犰狳代前面的故事。大衛(wèi)·林的《雙峰》是美國90年代最為著名的電視劇之一。曾榮獲1990年美國電視評論協(xié)會大獎，1997年美國金球獎最佳男女主角獎，1991年美國艾美獎8項大獎，1991年美國廣播協(xié)會最佳電視劇獎榖山而大衛(wèi)·奇也因此登上了《時代》雜志封面。這部劇集與大衛(wèi)?林奇的電影作品有很大不同之處，人眾多但個性分明，故事線索分不多但劇情峰回路轉(zhuǎn)，許多人Lora的死亡之迷所吸引，也為偵探怪異的般破方式著迷，然到最后也在電視版本中也沒代謎底（雖然林奇宣稱他在第集告訴了觀眾兇手是誰了），對人類欲望中產(chǎn)階級的生活的解的相當深刻。而林奇的忠實迷也不會失望，整部劇集所呈的特異風格，糾結(jié)了怪誕唯美迷離的氣氛，都是大衛(wèi)?林奇的經(jīng)典本色。其中Lora還被《Time》譽為電視史上最性感的死尸 。The story begins with the murder of Laura Palmer, a teen aged girl who lived in the quiet town of Twin Peaks, near the US - Canadian borders. Everyone seems surprised and devastated by the girl's murder, and the town's sherif welcomes the help of FBI agent Dale Cooper, who comes to investigate the case. As Cooper begins his search for Laura's killer, the town's secrets are gradually exposed. This is definitely not an average quiet town, it seems as everyone has something big to hide. At nights, agent Cooper sees strange visions of Laura and other mysterious people, visions that tell him that something big is happening here, something far more evil than a single murder case...
