★★★★★ Rewatched 15 Mar 2024
Just finished my first rewatch of Season 1 in a few years.
There are many pieces of media that have been influential or formative for me in my nearly 20 years of life — Beetlejuice & Gremlins are childhood classics that I annually revisit and films like A Clockwork Orange and La La Land showed me the power of film and what it could be.

I will admit - despite being a fan of some musicals - I’ve never really listened to Hamilton or even knew much about it... so most of this was a new experience and it’s actually good.
The performances are really brilliant and the music, mainly in act one is perfect. However, the storyline is quite hard to follow at times - maybe because I have no background knowledge of the true story.
Despite that though, it’s a fun enough musical.

Twin Peaks: The Return is an emotional, hilarious, surreal and touching "conclusion" to the Twin Peaks Franchise.
One thing that is evident from Part 1 is; this is not going to be like the original Twin Peaks. It's tonally different, slower paced and much darker. Mostly everything has changed; the world is not the way it was 25 years ago and neither are these characters and their lives.
There are many ways in which to interpret this season; too many…
