Bullshit
Twin Peaks
Angel
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
This is completely untrue. I watched it this summer and loved it up until a couple episodes into the second season. The last couple of episodes really sucked though. I thought it was innovative and original, and it's over a decade after it aired. Easily one of my favorite series.Originally Posted by bethany
I feel Angel was much more consistently good than Twin Peaks was. And - I'm a fan of neither really.
Twin Peaks had it's moments, but honestly, IMO, they were few and far between.

I love Twin Peaks, but I think she does have a point on one level. In some ways, it was not so good. It was innovative in its "quirkiness" -- that is, in defying convention, but I don't always appreciate art that is unconventional just for the sake of being unconventional. This show didn't work as conventional drama does; some shows do offer meaningful character development beyond what we got here. However, I do think that many of the television conventions which it subverted really are mostly negative. And (crucially) I think the series also was about more than just these concepts of the medium; that it did, on yet another level, have themes relevant to the human condition.This is completely untrue.

Anything involving David Lynch is going to have a huge film school fan base just because it is David Lynch, but I think Twin Peaks stands on it's own.
I still liked Angel more, though.
There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.
