minus-squareFrank [he/him, he/him]hexbear21·4 months agoYou know how there are good TV shows sometimes? X-Files was the second good TV show. The first was called Twin Peaks. link
minus-squareOgdenTO [he/him]hexbear10·4 months agoI would even argue that the X-Files was a direct result of Twin Peaks. David Duchovny just couldn't get enough. link
minus-squareimogen_underscore [it/its, she/her]hexbear7·4 months agoevery show made after twin peaks for like 20+ years was a direct result of twin peaks link
