5.0

Incredibly dark, incredibly graphic,  but required reading for understanding Laura Palmer, especially after watching Fire Walk With Me. A lot of people say FWWM lets you "know" Laura in a way Twin Peaks didn't. I think this lets you know her more than Fire Walk With Me. Jennifer Lynch really knocked it out of the park with this one, and Sheryl Lee's acting is excellent as always.
