Watched the first season of Twin Peaks, 5-6/10.
It's probably the most inconsistent show I have ever watched. It has aged poorly at best and was outright bad at worst. Especially the finale was just awful. Friend said season 2 is worse than season 1 so I'll just stop here. It had everything though. Fun scenes, weird stuff, artsy things, soap-opera crap, clichés, tropes... most of it seemed poorly made but it is of course over 3 decades old. I would still not expect to burst out in laughter at what ought to be very dramatic scenes, for example this one, I mean how can you take the sock swinging sound effect serious lol
Also watched the second season of The Diplomat, 7/10.
Season one was approaching a 9/10 for me and while the second season certainly delivers with the sharp dialogue from the first, which is the biggest reason the show is great, some of the story beats are contrived to point of stupid which is especially a problem in a story driven show like this. Still looking forward to season 3 though and would still recommend the show if you like high paced political thriller.
