It was different from anything else you are likely to see on TV.  The show
started out as a detective drama, turned into a "new age" detective drama,
then a horror show, then something entirely mystical.  Once I got over and
accepted the fact that Lynch was NOT going to stick to one original formula,
I actually began to enjoy this.  (Sort of "crossing mental-state lines.")
One regret I have with all this is that as the show changed states, the
characters changed in ways they shouldn't have (I mentioned this before).
Coop started out as a kinky Sherlock Junior, but ended up rather mushy,
etc.  I think it would have been much more interesting showing the original
characters running the entire gamut of situations, rather than having the
characters change to enhance them.
