In 1990, avant garde filmmaker David Lynch ("Eraserhead," "The Elephant Man," "D
une," "Blue Velvet") and acclaimed television writer Mark Frost ("Hill Street Bl
ues") teamed up to create a television show that would redefine what the medium
could achieve in a one-hour drama. With "Twin Peaks," the duo entranced audience
s with the seemingly idyllic town, its quirky characters, and a central mystery
-- who killed Laura Palmer?
In a town like Twin Peaks, nothing is as it seems,
and in "Wrapped in Plastic," pop culture writer Andy Burns uncovers and explore
s the groundbreaking stylistic and storytelling methods that have made the serie
s one of the most influential and enduring shows of the past 25 years.
