David Lynch’s new season of "Twin Peaks" introduces a gritty darkness while keeping diehard fans reeled in with glimpses from the show’s past and new lovable characters, suggests Sean T. Collins of Rolling Stone. Nerves stay tense as Lynch builds excitement with silent suspense, making viewers understand that horrible violence could ensue any second. The new "Twin Peaks" is not for the faint of heart, heavily borrowing from the horror genre. Collins finds the way Lynch plays with his viewers' emotions uniquely alluring.
