- 508LoopDetected 2y agoBut it's very much redeemed by the third season, which is every bit as good as the first season, albeit rather different in tone.
- chikenf00t 2y agoPart 8 of season 3 left a deep impression on me. I still think about it regularly.

- spokaneplumb 2y agoLast few episodes are great again, and then we got Fire Walk With Me which is awesome. Also check out the feature-length The Missing Pieces composed of scenes cut from Fire Walk, if you haven't. Frankly I find even the "bad" stretch of S2 better than more than half of allegedly-good TV, anyway.
- messe 2y agoI agree, although on rewatches I have fast-forwarded through a lot of the James scenes in S2.
- spokaneplumb 2y agoJames-hate is common even among the more devoted fans of the show, I think. https://www.tinymixtapes.com/features/why-we-hate-james-hurley https://www.tinymixtapes.com/features/why-we-hate-james-hurl... I think about the "Watching Twin Peaks" comic around 2/3 down that page pretty much every time he's on screen. "Ugh yes please go," indeed. Oddly, I liked him in The Return.
- messe 2y agoI really only dislike his scenes with Evelyn to be honest, it's one of the few subplots that just bores the hell out of me.
