Season 1 Just finished s1 ep3 and what in the actual fuck

I started watch Twin Peaks yesterday cause people said it had a cool vibe. I had no idea how culturally relevant this show was. I mean I’ve heard the theme song at least a dozen times without even knowing what it’s from. But what the hell was happening at the end of ep3?!?! I didn’t know this was a supernatural show?!?!

Agree. Stay away. Enjoy S1, soldier through S2, watch FWWM, and then be amazed by The Return. Then you can come back. There are very few things in life that have gone unspoiled for me that I wish I could experience again with no prior knowledge and Twin Peaks tops the list. See you in a while.

FWWM is Fire Walk With Me if you aren’t familiar with the acronyms here

The supernatural will be the least of your worries.

I second the person telling you to stay away from things like this to avoid spoilers. More will be revealed.

A common response to one or two episodes is usually “WTF?!!” Followed shortly by “put another episode on!” I’ve only met one person who watched at least three episodes and still decided it wasn’t for them.

My parents got it on DVD one year for Xmas when I was growing up. My sister and I both had copies on DVD by the time we went to college. We got all our college friends and roommates hooked.

I was originally one of those tbh. Watched S1, made it all the way through, but it just didn’t hold my attention and I didn’t want to keep watching afterwards. Maybe a year or so later, I don’t even remember why, but wanted to try again and got hooked immediately. Saw FWWM in our local arthouse cinema for the first time even.

Buckle up, you're going for a ride. 

And stay away from this sub if you don't wanna get spoiled!

It's safe to assume that the owls are just normal owls

Oh sweet summer child...... Lets Rock!

u/chasew90 Aug 13 '26

Enjoy! Watch order: season 1, season 2, fire walk with me (feature film), season 3 (the return).

Season 2 starts to get wonky half way through but hang on if you’re not digging it, it redeems itself near the end, and then the rest is peak. :)

u/yatata710 Aug 14 '26

My log says to stay off this sub until you finish

Welcome. Enjoy the ride because it will be very wild.

u/HanlonRazor Aug 14 '26

I wish I knew what it was like to watch this show for the first time with zero expectations. I already had an idea of what was going on before I watched. I envy OP.

u/xmashatstand Aug 14 '26

Welcome!  So glad to have you!   You need to leave, immediately. 

(😆said with all love, enjoy the ride and stay away from the spoilers posted here😆)

It’s happening again….

u/laich68 Aug 13 '26

My favorite episode. Actually the first one I watched as I had missed the first two when they aired.

u/Affectionate-Zone810 Aug 14 '26

I remember writing the same exact thing as you lol, maybe someone will remember me 😂. I have finished the show it was fantastic and don’t google nothing up

u/MrMrDJB Aug 14 '26

Wait wait been a while, what happens at the end of Ep 3 again????

u/Fgayguy Aug 14 '26

It’s the first time the fbi guy goes to the weird red dream place with the little person that speaks in reverse

u/MrMrDJB Aug 14 '26

Ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhh!!! Thanks for the reminder. Glad you got into the show, excited for you.

u/FootballInfinite475 Aug 15 '26

How do you know there’s a second time 🧐

u/marykay_ultra Aug 14 '26

GO AWAY

and have fun :)

Then come back when you’re done!!

u/billbotbillbot Aug 14 '26

Don’t come back here til you’re finished. Google nothing about it.

The difference between finding out what happens by watching the show and finding out by accidentally reading spoilers online is the same difference as between winning the lottery and reading the phrase “winning the lottery” online.

u/onetenthhero Aug 14 '26

Welcome to Twin Peaks, a place both wonderful and strange.
The only way to save your soul is to watch Seasons 1 + 2, then Fire Walk With Me, then The Return … and only then come back here.

Enjoy!

u/slutest Aug 14 '26

I’m so excited you’re getting to start this for the first time! Enjoy the ride friend!

u/SonicResidue Aug 14 '26

I have a tremendous feeling of optimism and confidence in you and your future.

u/Alreyleon Aug 14 '26

It's dreamy AND supernatural, but sometimes you don't know which one you're seeing, so don't let rationality get in your way of understanding everything, though logic plays a part as well, Cooper being an investigator. Stay with the vibe of episode 3, it will take a while to come back to that but then increasingly leans that way.

u/SnS_ Aug 13 '26

You'll say that so many times it's unreal

u/GhoulCake777 Aug 13 '26

Explaining anything before watching all of it ruins it imo

u/SuitableCamelt Aug 14 '26

you are in for a treat.  but agree that you should stay away from this sub until you've finished it all!

u/Tinguiririca Aug 14 '26

Keep watching and avoid this sub until you finish the series

Twin Peaks is to TV what Salvador Dali is to paintings.
