I was actually new to twin peaks a few weeks ago and I instantly fell in love with the first season.

One of the reasons I gave it a go....

[RobeOfTheMagi]

I usually have great taste ;).

[Giles]

This proves that you do

There's no connection to Twin Peaks here and it's a really random observation, but I guess that's what this threat is about: I just realised that both my Seiko SKX are more than twenty years old. They've never had a service but they still run with the same +15sek/day . That's some seriously good watchmaking!

@Giles have you watched Widow’s Bay yet?

[SKT]

@Giles Have you tried out Mad Men? Probably my all-time favorite

[Matt]

I have tried it and it’s not for me. I don’t actually enjoy stories about people and interpersonal relationships.

[SKT]

I was hooked from the opening credits. Plus Jon Hamm and I have the same birthday and we were both English majors at Mizzou. I don’t know how we didn’t end up best friends

[Matt]

That’s cool. He’s a wild dude. I dig him.

@Giles what do you watch now then? or what genre are you into?

[Giles]

Noi nto a particular genre, but do enjoy spyey things:

Slow Horses, Black Doves Night Manager and the ilk.

Other stuff I have loved, Legends, Line of Duty, The Morning Show

[Giles]

@Matt Nope. Will give it a go - thks

[Nick]

@Giles Have you tried Succession? Brilliantly written, so quotable and very funny whilst also being dark. The Newsroom was also extremely fun to watch too.

Shame on you not finishing The Sopranos tho haha

[AdamJ]

@SKT Mine and Steve's too!

[Nick]

Mad Men is great. Slow brooding but so good.

I recently rewatched all of Twin Peaks. The lot of it, with my kid. She absolutely loved it - even if at times it's dark as hell and also peak Lynch in terms of the abstract nature of The Return. It's not a tv show I would recommend to most people because of how offbeat it is.

We're going through the classics.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer, The Walking Dead and all spin-offs, Lost all done. Currently working our way through Dexter. Lots more to get through (Line of Duty, Sherlock, From).

We are HUGE Mike Flanagan fans too. So we've done The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass and The Fall of the House of Usher.

We have also watched Silo, Severance, Pluribus and have started Windows Bay.

Got the new Cape Fear reboot locked and loaded.
