1 Twin Peaks Twin Peaks is an American mystery horror drama television series created by Mark Frost and David Lynch that premiered on April 8, 1990, on ABC.

An iconic opening that's sets the tone perfectly for the mysterious world of Twin Peaks with its beautifully melancholic theme song interwoven with the gorgeously captured images. A damn fine show.

A masterful sequence that conveys the epic scope, beauty and dangers of the masterpiece that is GoT. And the theme song is so great and addictive.

Absolutely awesome and epic!
