TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN – ‘Part 11’
Twin Peaks: The Return “Part 11” wastes no time picking up from last week’s disturbing visit to the dark heart of patriarchy.

What started with House of Cards snowballed with Orange is the New Black and Stranger Things, etc, to the point where it felt like there was something new premiering every week.
