Was that ever the intention? I thought this was always a one off.
Anyways, fun show. I give Lynch a wider birth than most, with his avant-garde approach to storytelling, and this is no different. A LOT of nonsense was packed into this 18 hour dreamscape, but Lynch always seems to make it somewhat entertaining. Looking back, I really don't think the whole 15 episode long "Wacky Adventures of Dougie Jones" was all that necessary, but it provided some good laughs.
Another thing that has always bugged me about Lynch, and I still don't understand the purpose behind it, is the intentional bad acting he packs into a lot of his work. Whether it's stiff, terrible line reading, or laughable overacting, he seems to get a kick out of actors acting terribly, and I've never really understood the purpose of it. This series was no different, as it was jam packed with awful acting. Take the scene last night with Evil Cooper's chest bursting scene. This is the most insane thing someone could witness, and he has the actors reacting like they've never acted a day in their lives. Like they're all amateurs on the set of some B-movie. I guess Lynch just personally finds it amusing, but I don't see the point. All it does is make a mockery out of the scene.
Other than that though, eh, it was a fun ride, and Showtime deserves some credit for actually letting Lynch go all out with it. It was nonsensical, batshit lunacy for the most part, and I wouldn't blame anyone for calling it outright terrible. However, it was certainly like nothing else on TV, and pretty unforgettable, and that's gotta be worth something. It's just this quirky television anomaly, that will never be duplicated(for better or worse), and one last feast for David Lynch fans.
