25 years ago the last episode of season two aired unless you have the box sets, the spin-off movies and probably can quote every memorable line, your mind might be a little rusty. With the first episode running 2hours with 18 hours in total, there’s a lot of catching up to do especially if you’re a little ring rusty.

So if you’re like me need a little reminder, we’ve able to collect a number of video guides, video essay’s that hope to get you back on track. We’re not going to say there perfect but hopefully, your mind will be a lot wiser and excited to the return to Twin Peaks!
