It has been called cult viewing and greatly anticipated, eagerly awaited, but I remember the original series being ridiculed and scorned by many viewers who lost patience with its absurdity, blatant irrationality. Strange characters, nonsensical dialogue, and surrealistic humour annoyed them. They thought that David Lynch, the director, was taking the proverbial, indulging his fantasies and far out ideas. The lady with the log, who believed it spoke, demon possession, people speaking backwards, and weird dream sequences made them hit the off button. They refused to take any more of this incomprehensible journey to weirdsville, USA.
Confused? You will be! That's what David Lynch does brilliantly, confuse and confound his audience.
And the Log Lady is back in the new series.

Well, it will certainly appeal to fans of David Lynch who wish to continue walking the path of weirdness, into darker and stranger locations where there are parallel dimensions. I agree with the view that Lynch seems to have taken "The Return" along the lines of his movies.
Lynch has embraced obscurity and surrealism that are characteristics of films like "Mulholland Drive" and "The Lost Highway". This will lead to various interpretations and speculation. Some will think it is inspired by drink, drugs and demons, while other will contend it is the work of a genius, the artistic imagination of a great auteur.
