Damn good coffee, cherry pie, and the “big bang of auteur television” — why Twin Peaks deserves to be a pop culture classic

In 1990, avant garde filmmaker David Lynch (Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, Dune, Blue Velvet) and acclaimed television writer Mark Frost (Hill Street Blues) teamed up to create a television show that would redefine what the medium could achieve in a one-hour drama. With Twin Peaks, the duo entranced audiences with the seemingly idyllic town, its quirky characters, and a central mystery — who killed Laura Palmer?

In a town like Twin Peaks, nothing is as it seems, and in Wrapped in Plastic, pop culture writer Andy Burns uncovers and explores the groundbreaking stylistic and storytelling methods that have made the series one of the most influential and enduring shows of the past 25 years.

About the Pop Classics Series

Short books that pack a big punch, Pop Classics offer intelligent, fun, and accessible arguments about why a particular pop phenomenon matters.
Industry Reviews
“If Twin Peaks was a real place, Andy Burns would be president of the historical society. As both a fan and scholar of the beloved and influential television series, he is the perfect guide on this journey into what made the show both unique and timeless. His views and opinions on Twin Peaks — the TV show, the cultural phenomenon, and the town itself — are fresh, original and insightful. This is no mere lovefest for a forgotten cult program, but an exploration of a unique moment in television history, an experience that changed all those who watched it, and reminded us that life, like the town of Twin Peaks, is both wonderful and strange.” — Ian Rogers, author of Every House Is Haunted
