[Warning: This story contains spoilers through the finale of Twin Peaks: The Return.]
Twin Peaks: The Return went out not with a whimper, but an ear-piercing scream, with a finale that was as confusing as the series was entertaining. In other words, it was perfectly David Lynch, which is about as much as you could ask for when it comes to a series he co-created, wrote and directed.

Phillip Jeffries (David Bowie): While the character returned for the series, the late singer sadly did not. Instead, his form changed to that of a giant talking teapot that spoke to Cooper’s evil doppelganger in the Black Lodge, not to mention the actual Cooper in the penultimate episode.
