Twin Peaks has inspired a ton of copycats since it first aired, but Netflix’s Dark is the closest thing to a worthy successor. When David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks premiered in 1990, it was a totally unique TV experiment: a macabre mix of small-town Americana, supernatural horror, and a good old-fashioned murder mystery.

On its initial airing, Twin Peaks struggled to find a wider audience beyond its fiercely dedicated cult fan base. It was canceled after just two seasons, leaving viewers on an infuriating cliffhanger for years, but its legacy lived on. Writers and showrunners have been taking inspiration from Twin Peaks in all the years since.
