Absolutely. The whole "third season of Twin Peaks coming back twenty-five years later just like promised" was cute, but really, this is its own show. I'm enjoying it, but I can understand why people who were promised Twin Peaks figured out within the first twenty minutes of Ep 1 this wasn't Twin Peaks and tuned out.

Hell, this makes Fire Walk With Me seem like Twin Peaks after all :lol:
