Summarize the story of Twin Peaks in a few words

Post by Campfire »

If you had to summarize the main story thread of Twin Peaks in as few words as possible for someone that knew nothing about the show, how would you word it?

Here's my first swing at it: "A gifted FBI agent investigates the murder of a small town homecoming queen who's death could be linked to a serial killer. Under the pleasant veneer of the small town lies corruption, depravity, deceit, and an unseen darkness that inhabits the woods, and quite possibly some of the local townsfolk as well."

Twin Peaks is the deepest exploration of the source of Good and Evil you can possibly imagine.

A mischievous orphan struggles with his inner demons after his adoptive parents tragically perish in an automobile accident. Or was it an accident? Also local high school girl dies.

The show is so thematically rich that it's hard to write a concise blurb that sells every aspect.

Going into the show, I wasn't fully aware that it involved supernatural forces, so maybe newcomers need not know that, either?

"An investigation into a young woman's murder uncovers murky and horrific revelation about the idiosyncratic townsfolk of Twin Peaks."

Eh? Eh?
