One thing that was shot through Twin Peaks like dark blood through veins was negative character development. Usually it’s the core cast that gets positive character development while the surrounding cast gets left in the dust or nothing but static. In this show, it was unexpectedly reversed, with the core cast cracking in many different ways and revealing a deeply unsettling inner chaos that gets anything but resolved or fixed as the plot wages on. Twin Peaks is the most positive study of negative character development I have ever experienced, and it really challenges how many veneers a protagonist can exist beneath. How many layers does it take for someone to lose themselves completely?
