Is anybody watching the new Twin Peaks? Thoughts so far?

Does reading for college English courses count?

I haven’t delved into it yet, but I like the interface and the playlists it’s generated based on my tastes. I canceled Spotify so I can use this during the free trial

Cowherd’s commentary comes off as a mix of Malcolm Gladwell, Ayn Rand, and Charles Murray.
