quietuksen arviosta (ei spoilereita) palanen. taidan laittaa hbo:n tilaukseen

Lessons clearly learned, there are no other writers or directors, and no opportunities for Frost and Lynch to go out of sync. Every one of Season Three's 18 episodes has been written both of them together, and every one directed by Lynch alone. Furthermore, Lynch's determination to not compromise this time almost derailed the whole venture, over disagreements with production backers Showtime about scope and budget. Showtime eventually relented and gave Lynch what he wanted; the budget to make an 18-hour movie with no interference. God bless these wonderful people and their emptying wallets.

With absolute creative control, and the heavily-promoted return of almost all of the original cast, Frost and Lynch have done something more audacious than any planned-by-committee reboot would have dared: Twin Peaks Season Three, on the evidence of the opening two-parter, is almost nothing like Twin Peaks.

I shall avoid spoilers, but suffice to say, very little that's familiar appears in these episodes. Agent Cooper is a large presence, though MacLachlan's performance of him is something new; ditching young Cooper's aw-shucks persona in favour of something darker and wearier. Other returning characters are so far reserved for brief cameos, albeit ones pregnant with intriguing plot strands. The geographical sprawl of the show is vastly increased, with much of the action taking place outside of the eponymous town that was previously the sole backdrop.

Probably more striking is the huge change in the aesthetics of the show. Old Twin Peaks had music as a central element, with Angelo Badalamenti's score as celebrated as the show itself. Season Three so far features almost no music at all, but rather "sound design" credited to Lynch.

This means that one of the old show's signature moves - moments of soap melodrama sent way over the top by Badalamenti's haunting themes - is entirely absent. Instead, we have stillness, awkward silence, and an almost excruciating lack of pathos. To the lack of conventional narrative is added an absence of cues on how anything should feel. There is none of the old show's romanticism, and in its place, an eerie coldness and brutalism.

This extends to the photography and lighting, which has none of the cathode-ray warmth of the old show. The colour-space is stark and hard-edged and unabashedly modern. Lynch is signposting that you'll find little cosy nostalgia here. Also greatly amplified are the horror elements, with a couple of astonishingly gory moments that made me emit actual gasps.

In the closing minutes of this opener, we are taken to somewhat more familiar territory, with beloved characters in a recognisable place, and the band Chromatics taking on Julee Cruise's job of singing curiously pertinent songs in the background from the original show (though Cruise is apparently also to return in later episodes). Whether this points the way forward, or is just a wink to the fanbase remains to be seen.

It's a little too early to say whether Twin Peaks is the creative success its long-time devotees want it to be. I suspect its huge departure in style will alienate some, fascinate others, and probably bring in an entirely new audience. But as the alpha programme of modern box-set TV, it would have been a shame if it had returned in the form of a greatest hits package. Instead, Lynch and Frost have picked up their old premises and struck out for new territory.

It's been said by people who caught the show's one early preview a couple of days ago that it feels like a summary of all Lynch's work to date. I'll go along with that, but impressively, for a film-maker so late in their career, it pushes forward too.

In spite of one of the old show's more enigmatic promises, that gum you like has not come back in style. But so far, the new gum has a lot more to chew on. Also, if the director holds to his word, and never makes another feature film, this may be last 18 hours of cinematic Lynch we're ever going to get.

He seems determined not to disappoint, and I for one am rooting for him. And now I'm going to go and watch it again.
