It is also because screen acting is intrinsically hard to talk about, especially when the critical task requires that the contribution of the actor is separated from other elements-script, narrative, mise-en-scene, and editing, for example.

(2) This is partly, one suspects, because there is so much else about the series that commands attention. Relatively little critical attention has been paid to questions concerning acting in Twin Peaks, although the series's main actors became instant celebrities after the show first aired, appearing on television chat shows and magazine front covers.
It did not, however, reproduce its forebear's approach to performance-its distinctive combination of acting styles and genres-and it was not alone in this, since whatever else subsequent television drama has taken from David Lynch and Mark Frost's groundbreaking series, it is rarely the way that it deploys actors. (1) Fortitude made consistent, knowing references to Twin Peaks, especially in its ensemble cast, its flirtation with the supernatural (from which it retreated), and its all-pervading darkness of tone.
One of the latest dramas to be yoked to Twin Peaks is Sky Atlantic's ambitious series set in an isolated community disrupted by a murder, Fortitude, which aired in the United Kingdom in early 2015. The announcement that a new series of Twin Peaks (ABC, 1990-1991) is to go into production for 2017 transmission, with its original creative team of David Lynch and Mark Frost on board, has meant that the series has been rediscovered-if it had ever really been lost-as a progenitor of ambitious, cool, and contemporary television drama for journalists and critics alike.
