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(xué)生Laura Palmer被謀殺事件。以大衛(wèi)·林奇的一貫風(fēng)，整出片子到處滿了神秘事件和詭疑點(diǎn)，而且沒有結(jié)可言。這大概引起觀眾的不滿，或者奇心。于是，電視或是創(chuàng)作班底決定這個為起點(diǎn)，將它展成一部連續(xù)劇。于神秘的原因，David Lynch不愿擔(dān)任導(dǎo)演，而出任執(zhí)行監(jiān)制，找另外的導(dǎo)演來拍攝部劇集。結(jié)果Twin Peaks第1集就已經(jīng)是一部續(xù)，這就是為什么在1集時的片頭就有“雙峰之前”，交代面的故事。大衛(wèi)·奇的《雙峰》是美90年代最為著名的電視劇之一。晏龍榮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(xiàng)大獎，1991年美國廣播協(xié)會最佳視劇獎，而大衛(wèi)·奇也因此登上了《代》雜志的封面。部劇集與大衛(wèi)?林奇的電影作品有很大同之處，人物眾多個性分明，故事線分支不多但劇情峰路轉(zhuǎn)，許多人被Lora的死亡之迷所吸引，也為偵探怪異偵破方式著迷，雖到最后也在電視版中也沒交代謎底（然林奇宣稱他在第集告訴了觀眾兇手誰了），但對人類望中產(chǎn)階級的生活剖解的相當(dāng)深刻。林奇的忠實(shí)影迷也會失望，整部劇集呈現(xiàn)的特異風(fēng)格，結(jié)了怪誕唯美與迷的氣氛，都是大衛(wèi)?林奇的經(jīng)典本色。中Lora還被《Time》譽(yù)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...
