Cult Television Classics

Some television shows are so different to anything that has come before, so challenging and yet entertaining at the same time, that they transcend television norms and become cult classics.

I have to say that out of all the seasons I enjoy watching on DVD my favourite has to be Twin Peaks. I have always loved David Lynch (to the extent that I don’t even know how many times I have watched Mulhulland Drive) but I had never really seen anything that he did that wasn’t a film. Turns out that the TV show is amazing, and even though it was made in the early 90s it has not gone out of date at all. The only recent show that I could even compare it to is Carnivale, which has a similar pace and audience. All in all, if you guys haven’t watched this show, it is amazing!
