'Best show ever made' to start streaming in the UK - and you can watch it for free
One of the most revolutionary TV shows ever produced has secured a new streaming platform in the UK - and for a limited period, you'll be able to watch it absolutely free. First aired in the 1990s, the initial two seasons of this adored and bizarre drama, crafted by one of Hollywood's most inventive filmmakers, is set to launch on Mubi. In honour of the show's 35th anniversary, the cult favourite mystery drama Twin Peaks will be arriving on the service on Friday, 13th June. All 30 episodes of the iconic series will be available for streaming, along with the critically acclaimed 2017 sequel, Twin Peaks: The Return. Mubi subscriptions can be added as a Prime Video channel for £11.99 per month, but there's also the option to sign up for a seven-day free trial - just enough time to binge-watch the series at no additional cost. The series was created by the late legendary filmmaker David Lynch and Mark Frost, and stars Kyle MacLachlan as FBI Agent Dale Cooper who is investigating the peculiar death of Laura Palmer (portrayed by Sheryl Lee) in a small town filled with enormous secrets, reports the Mirror . It's widely considered as one of the greatest shows ever produced, with Sight and Sound even naming The Return as one of the best 'films' of all time. Empire ranked it at number 15 on their list of the greatest shows of all time, while Variety placed it at number 27. Over the years, Twin Peaks has maintained a devoted cult following, with enthusiasts continuing to sing its praises. On the social platform X (formerly Twitter) one ardent fan proclaimed: "Twin Peaks is the best show ever made. By a large margin. Nothing will change my mind." Meanwhile, a new viewer to the series boldly stated after just one episode: "Watched 1 episode of twin peaks and i'm already convinced it's the best show ever made." Another fan lauded the show's visuals, saying: "twin peaks is the most beautiful television show ever made." A fourth viewer suggested: "If you could only watch one TV show in your whole life I'd say you should watch twin peaks and the movie. It's the greatest thing ever made." And a fifth fan mourned: "it actually f***ing blows knowing that i've already watched the best tv show of all time and nothing will ever live up to it. "I have a giant twin peaks shaped hole in my heart that no other show could possibly ever fill." Following the acquisition of rights to the classic mystery series, Katharina Feistauer, Mubi's VP, Global Head of Programming, expressed her delight, stating: "Launching Twin Peaks is a dream for Mubi, bringing one of the most loved and discussed series in TV history to the platform. "Whilst this launch has been months in the making, the sad news of David Lynch's death only a few weeks ago makes this opportunity to show his iconic work even more special. "We are excited for the Lynch fans in our membership to revisit the episodes comprehensively, as well creating an opportunity for new audiences to discover it for the first time." Twin Peaks and Twin Peaks: The Return will be released Friday, 13th June on Mubi.
