When Lynch made Twin Peaks in 1990, it not only became one of the decade’s biggest cultural phenomena, but perhaps also the unlikeliest.

Lynch didn’t so much bring a film sensibility to TV, as a surrealist avant garde one. With midgets. It was rambling, mysterious and large parts didn’t make much sense – and it would go on to influence a generation of TV writers.

As Sopranos creator David Chase would later remark: “Network TV is all talk. I think there should be visuals, some sense of mystery to it. There should be a little bit of poetry.”

TV we want to see: A Lynch version of the Outer Limits.
